I got my ME Super down from the loft last night.
All looks in working order except dead batteries.

Was just wondering where is good to bu film from - probably BW.
And any recommendations for getting it developed, plus scanned onto a cd in hi res as I don't possess a scanner. Thanks!

I agree, if you're going to shoot this kind of stuff it needs to look gnarly or else you risk your shots just looking like a record as opposed to art.

I'm sorry chaps but I've got to work tomorrow morning so I couldn't make it either. I would however like to meet up on another occasion if at all possible.

I think I need to catch up!
I've only just upgraded from a K100D to a K10D.

Price wise, cost me £249 from SRS, mint condition with warranty and only 2250 clicks.

Prior to that I was just outbid for another one in almost identical condition on ebay which also went for about £250.

Hi Tim, is that taken in a shopping precinct?

I just ask as I got a security guard asking me to stop when I did that recently.

Hi Blytheman, i think what I am getting at is that I have submitted images that I think are good but the ones the judges have chosen are not the ones that I was expecting.
Perhaps some of my shots are better than I think whereas others are not as good. If this is the case then its a good learning process.
Who knows?

My thoughts on the PPG as from the perspective of somebody who has just opened an account there...

I've has 2 shots accepted now, neither of them I was expecting.
This is the most recent...

It's very hard to know what they will accept as I have had other shots rejected which I thought were better.

I get the impression that a lot of people are just chucking anything in there to see what sticks, hence the degradation in quality.
This is not something I would do as I think it goes against the spirit of things, but as I said it's hard to know what they will deem to be good enough.

I've also done my bit of judging and I am now bored with seeing macro flowers and birds (no offence intended to anyone who specializes in these kind of shots. Frankly I want to see images that are 'a bit special' and excite me.
