If the park is a public place, he can ignore the council's email. I certainly would, in fact, I probably wouldn't have asked for permission in the first place.

Those heels are way to high.

Well it wouldn't make National Geographic, but it's nevertheless a very lucky capture. Well done.

More light and a faster shutter speed might have nailed it.

Good luck with your new kit, though I wouldn't equate changing systems to moving on. You'll still be taking piccies, won't you?

Best of luck with the family expansion too. That's when you'll give your camera a hammering.

Surely there are some great deals to be made there in Hong Kong? Buy a K-x and post some nice HK pics here on the forum.

I think you may have missed the fact that Stephanie is only 12 years old which might make your recommendation a bit more difficult for her.

Shags don't have white faces like cormorants do.
I was editing my post at the same time as yours Gwyn, I think you identified it correctly in the first place.

There is a chance it could be a Shag as they are very similar to Cormorants, and you got this pic in Scotland where most of the UK population have their nesting places.

I think the white throat of your bird makes it a Cormorant though, but Juvenile Shags have this too.

My guess is . . . . "I can't say for sure". Dan will be along in a mo to put us all out of our misery.

Plenty of identical copies on ebay. I can't tell them apart
I can. The only difference as far as I can tell is that the genuine Pentax item has a mould number in the centre of the inside. The copies don't have it.

Makes no practical difference whatsoever, and the copies are much cheaper.

Well you can tell your mum that all of those lenses will work great on a Pentax DSLR. Keep nagging her, she'll give in eventually.

Not too far from me then. I have a neighbour driving over from Portsmouth sometime in September if that's any help.
