Good idea for a project and nicely done too.
Manchester can be safe and not safe, you need to know where not to go.

It's a problem with small formats Nigel. It's quite difficult to get reduced DOF.
For an extreme example, the standard lens for the Minox "spy camera" is a 15mm, which has DOF from 1 foot to infinity at f/3.5

It sort of escalates, until the very thought of going out seems too much trouble.
I think keep it slim when out and about. Own as much as you like, but travel light as you can!

I know some people like to use Pentax batteries but why pay £50 plus when you can get 2 for £10.99.
Because there's no excuse for falling down on a job. So, when shooting a wedding for example, one Pentax battery can last all day and did so just a week or so back. No second chances, so the original is the one to use.I know some people like to use Pentax batteries but why pay £50 plus when you can get 2 for £10.99.
We never have any problems with batteries.

fotoLibra, a large online image library, stopped using TIFF and converted everything to JPEG because that's what magazine and book publishers wanted.
At one time I saved everything as TIFF, but I haven't done that for some years now. Things have moved on.

Just opening and closing a JPEG doesn't constitute saving it. For degradation to occur you would need to open it, alter it and resave it. JPEGs are perfectly satisfactory for printing purposes, and more than satisfactory 9if not required) for the web.

To display in the Gallery they should be JPEG files. If the images look too small then they have been resized too small, so make an image probably not more than 2000 pixels wide.
For the forum, 1000 pixels is better.
The site will resize images that are too large, but the upload time could be very long if you use huge files.
