Who indeed? A traveller in time and space, arriving at critical moments as events reach a pivotal crisis. He interferes and resolves issues for others and then melts away seamlessly into the background.

Or an adventure story with a mysterious Hero and lots of nasty monsters to battle.

It works on various levels and can be very subtle.

Photographically, the exhibition was a terrific place to take atmospheric shots. The pentax K10D worked out all the exposures very nicely and I just let it do so. (Why struggle when there's no need?)

You can see the results unfold over the next few days on EPZ. Check out my user page: johnriley1uk

Blame the model makers - only the face is real....

I can honestly say I have seen every single episode since the first. It's all been great, but the new series has re-invented it all brilliantly. We've just finished watching the first episode of series 3, and I am sure you will not be disappointed.

So here's today's Fun Picture. We're just back from the new doctor Who exhibition in Manchester, so here is my picture of ADAPS' favourite model Maxine, as Rose Tyler...

The lens is optically excellent, and a very useful F2.8.

But, as George says, very big and heavy.

I think it's called "received wisdom", in other words something that's repeated so sften that it becomes one of the basic facts.

Of course "experts" can be utterly and dramatically wrong...fortunately, not most of the time!

You need a circular polariser. All polarisers rotate, the circular refers to the direction of light polarisation.

A linear polarisier is suitable for older film cameras, pre-AF.

Like the pics, but I'd ditch the borders. Complex borders just compete with the image, and I don't think you need them.

When properly processed, Kodachrome is probably the greatest transparency film in the world.
