No more so than choosing Women at Work or Children at Play. Whether the judge intended his title to be taken literally, he will have to say, or whether he really meant People at Work.

Until I'm told otherwise, I'll be looking to fulfill the brief as stated.

Your picture is quite a different one of the same basic subject, so no more plagiarism that two people taking pictures of the Eiffel Tower.

However, looking at the two there may be lots to think about there is terms of composition and technique.

In the top one, two towers not three, one lead in line not two, graduated darkening of the sky not clouds...which works best? Something to consider and it just shows how ostensibly the same thing can give such different end results.

110 film is processed by various labs, but The Darkroom Ltd can be relied upon to produce excellent results.

The pentax Auto 110 was greeted with enthusiasm because it's a gem of a camera and the whole kit is adorably compact. Results will not be as good as 35mm film, but as the centre only of an enlarger's field was used, the quality was very even from edge to edge.

It is possible to take brilliant photos with an Auto 110.

It's interesting that it was greeted so enthusiastically, whereas these days there seems to be much more grumbling about every model that might be a bit different.

I have changed the date and also added a reminder that images must be shot in September 2012. It was suprising how many did not read the rules for the first two competitions, but hopefully we are up and running for this one.

Nice to hear, and £199.99 seems to be an excellent price.

Many thanks for pointing it out, it must be related to the article being from the PU archive. It seems to be picking up its contemporary related news.

I've passed on the information.

Well I have used them all. Bretbysteve, if you don't use Pentax why snipe at them on a Pentax forum?

Not sure why you've posted those comments bretbysteve. I would say Pentax ergonomics are second to none and see nothing at all wrong with the menu system.

No idea where you're coming from there...

Vericolor was a professional film of low contrast for wedding photographers. It helped in recording black suits alongside white dresses.

Kodacolor was the everyday film that gave sparkle and snap to holiday pictures.

Now we have digital cameras we can dial in whatever style we like.
