I think it would be a good idea if a discussion about someone wasn't going on as if they were not in the room....this is a public forum and the OP is stood right next to you.

The question deserved an answer and as far as I can see it's got an answer.

I thought I had answered the question - it doesn't matter what the source is for any images you upload. They end up as uploaded digital files and they are treated the same.

There is no distinction, judging is as stated, the best image submitted, in the asssessment and opinion of the judges, wins.

Every competition is the same, so I'm not sure what we've missed here.

It's a competition that has to be uploaded to. Whether the originals were digital files, slides or prints doesn't matter, only that they were taken with Pentax cameras.

I would check your Internet Options to make sure you haven't excluded links. Do you have the saame problem with other sites?

It is a tight fit to get the card out. The diminutive Q has a much better spaced door and I hope the next model will keep that improvement.

It does depend what you want. My technique is to shoot either 5 or 7 shots, separated by half a stop or even a full stop each. This produces a lot of information that can be handled to suit.

The usual program is Photomatix and this can give a variety of resulots from very natural looking, but with even the most extreme shadows and highlights full of detail, to quite outlandish.

My favourite is actually Damson jam. My Granny used to make this years ago and it was superb - lots of tangy bite. The damson jams you can buy are useless by comparison.

It makes me think that if every other type of jam is equally useless then we don't get any idea of what jam should really taste like.

We're straying from the point the OP made though.

Smeggypants, would you wade in or would you take the picture? I'm curious as to whether you think trying to stop something would help, or whether you'd be more help carrying the event to where it could be heard by many.

We're talking about personal reaction and the individual responsibilities of the photographer, not whether governments are corrupt or not.
