There is also a track in Essex. I may try there next year when I am in the UK. I have never been to the Montreal GP, just glad its back. From what I konow, leaving Montreal would have ended F! as the drivers and manucaturers all wanted to race there. Advertising to over 300,000 instead of 30,000 means more money in the end.

Interesting that the top offer on the digital page is the K-x at $699.99 (Canadian dollars that is!)

That converts to £400ish sterling!

Pentax UK take note, we don't want ripping off!
I have a question. In 1986 I baught a 35-70mm Miranda lens for my ME at Dixon's. Paid about 75.00 Sterling for it. Was that a good deal back then? I thought it was. Brits have complained about getting ripped off The same is true in Canada. My K10D was cheaper in America with a 1 year warrenty. In Canada Pentax, Canon and Nikon all give 2 year warrenties, but are more expensinv than in America. Why would I spend 400.00 quid on a K-x when I can buy it for 400.00 dollars. I feel your pain

I joined a camera club many years ago, when I first got into photography. It was awful. Full of middle aged men called Ron and Ken, banging on about their Canon T90s and Minolta 7000s.

There was a play on TV some years ago, called Glamour night. It was a perfect representation of what photography clubs were like, back then.
All different now... I hope!
Now they just brag about their D300's and Canon Mark III which spends more time in the shop. The camera club I used to belong to seemed to have professional photographers. To them, if you sold one picture, they called themselves a pro. I have sold a few and I am no pro.

Anyone take any pics of F1 cars? The Formula one is back in Canada. Why they dropped it last season was stupid since the Montreal Grand Prix draws 300,000 on race day. I am hoping to attend the race.

The LX sold for about $8,000.00 U.S. when they first came out.

If this is true, I will spend my tuppence on the new 645D. Maybe the D refers to diesel.

multiple exposure is possible, but I can't remember how to do it.

What had happened, the fog and moisture filtered all but yellow colouring, I just didn't expect it to be this yellow. I also like how it turned out. I checked the WB after the shot.
