Ages but don't wait until you have a full card. Do some every day. It's only a security copy, anyway.

Get yourself a Googlemail account. Go to a cybercafe every now and then and email yourself all your images.

petekd, I can see you don't see eye-to-eye with a few of the other characters here but, George Lazarette has a point, which he put fairly politely and thoughtfully, it seemed to me. Your reply was somewhat immature and - like your original question - full of spelling mistakes and bad grammar.

This doesn't really help your case. If you don't want people to think you're a ranting nutter, you need to adopt a more sophisticated demeanor.

Furthermore, you don't go along to a Tory Party conference and start asking everyone what they think of various Labour policies if you want balance.

I just discovered this too.

It's a great idea but totally buggered up in presentation.

What a mess. And what a shame.

I want to see photos without all the Flash animation and arty crap getting in the way of looking at them. It doesn't help me view the pictures. It's just an irritation.

When will the arty twats who commission this sort of rubbish and who still haven't yet got over the idea that animation is a really cool idea sod off and let the rest of us have clean sites.

With all the programming that's gone into that site, you'd have thought they could at least have pre-loaded the next picture.

>sigh<

I had a dust problem with my *istD but got quite used to cleaning it effectively.

I used to test for dust by shooting a white wall in good light without a lens attached. I got into the habit of doing that before any significant shoot.

After several thousand exposures on the K10D, I've not yet noticed a single dust spec. I'm quite impressed with that.

Yes, these guys do a very good service:

Printing and mounting in all sorts of ways. I've used them and the service is excellent.

I don't seem to have been sent my code book yet. What is 'a bit of a doing'? Who (or what) is 'G', 'JR', 'EP' and 'PP'?

Ah. Thank you.

So was it post-processing that made the poor girl's skin look like plastic or should we blame Max Factor for that?

Also, I agree with justgetoutandride; the pose isn't flattering.

I've just tried this with the Pentax IR remote.

In B mode, the shutter remained open for as long as I held the button on the remote control.
