Interesting ISO number...
Andy
Don't know why it shows the number of remaining shots with the ISO heading still on - it normally shows the ISO number here.

John
The camera is laying on its back, and probably holding in the OK button.

Does anyone know of a uk release date for the 645d?

Richard, If you post the same question twice, you have to look in two places for an answer. Best only post a question once.

I really like the first image. The sun through the clouds is great. Personally I think that you can never be too safe and I think that is excellent that even on a site like this we are kept up to date with health and safety legislation. I am just off to make a cup of tea, having filled out the correct coshh form and made sure that my kettle's electrical certificate is up to date.

A bit disappointing to see Health and Safety getting an airing on a photography site....

Number 1 is n terrific image.
You yourself commented more on the health and safety content than you did the photography.

Also looking at the shooter - she appears not to be wearing any safety equipment and similarly the person behind plus her stance is not exactly the safest either.
Looks like she's wearing ear defenders, but no goggles. Not that they are any use anyway.

For those who don't know, you lean into the gun, forward, not backwards, and most clay shots don't raise their gun to the shoulder before the clay is released. She should also be standing in a restrictive cage to prevent her from killing the guy manning the trap, who is in front of her.

Excellent images though.

IMHO, the Xtraflash is a waste of money. It has little power, has only two modes, on & off, and you'll regret not buying a 'proper' flash in the first place. Remember, if you buy cheap, you buy twice.

Get a decent flash as advised elsewhere here.

What a load of rubbish

Your statement that is, not your image

Yours is perfectly acceptable and just as good if not better than some of those linked to by Gwyn.
Thank you kindly sir, I'm humbled.

Odd that this stash was found in Manchester. Now who do we know lives in Manchester ?

Completely OT: Why hasn't your car got any registration plates?

In any event, whatever it is, it ain't eating any more of my orange tree leaves. The leaf burrowing varmints and grasshoppers/locusts have had all they are going to have.
Brought the tree indoors have you
Now that's not a bad idea, but so far, the cats (8 of 'em, + 4 more kittens that turned up last night), and insecticides seem to be coping.
