... Ooh it does work as a link

I saw it in the metro newspaper this morning. Here's the web address of their story on the www...

Not sure if this will work as a link: - if not then may need to copy and paste it into your browser address bar...

I think I remember a previous story on here about a K10d go up on a balloon but think this is a little higher...

The minimum number of pictures you can vote on at one time is five I think because you have to vote on a whole page of shots (5) before your votes can be submitted. Then just depends how many pages you want to sit and go through. I try to vote on a couple of pages worth each time I log onto the site, and you're right - they just keep coming...

I use a Lowe Alpine Primus AW. It has two sections - the bottom one has enough space for SLR plus a couple of lenses, and is padded (and the padding can be reconfigured a bit), the top section can be used for anything - so can fill it up with extra lenses ( ) or stuff it full of clothes/sandwiches/ipod/whatever... It has a rain cover although it's fairly showerproof in any case, and has a fixing to stash a tripod on as well (although with tripod attached the raincover becomes frustrated). Holds a lot of gear and is very comfy to wear. It's even made of recycled material! and it has a side access to get the camera out as the zips which allow access to the main sections of the bag are all faced into your back. I rather like it although I mainly use it if I'm out in the wilds somewhere. In town, where I might just be carrying the SLR with one lens on it, I just put it in a padded pouch in my regular backpack...

Thanks guys - you're right about the 35mm DA I think. Not had it long but it seems to be a really versatile lens - focusses really close if you want to, or not bad for landscapes, and devilished sharp... I can see it's going to get a lot of use...

I agree - I like this very much.

These are great - like the last set. I love the way that they all look so nostalgic and could have been taken years ago!! My favourite though is the last - and there are no trains in it!! Really nice
