And 50% of us shoot RAW. What are we supposed to do?

Monthly was great or me. So many times I thought about getting my pics done, but didn't manage to find time. Having the extra time to plan, or find the time, will make entering a lot easier. Plus the end of the month deadline is easier to keep in mind!

how do you mean?

You can create a pseudo HDR from a single image by processing it with various degrees of + and - EV correction, then processing the resulting versions with HDR software, or alternatively, just adjust shadow and highlight correction on a single image.

Shouldn't have an impact, but you should expect to pay slightly less than a perfect sample.

50.00 is reasonable IMHO for a non p-TTL flash. That said, someone at a camera fair tried to charge me 120.00 for one! Would one of the Yongnuo flashes be an acceptable alternative?

If 4000x3000 gets you 13" x 10", and you print at A2, all that will happen is your print will be a bit less than 300 pixels to each inch. *Personally* I wouldn't worry too much about the output dropping to about 200 pixels per inch, because you tend to back off in any case. YMMV.

You can end up chasing your tail with this stuff...

I haven't shot much slide film, except Boots-branded stuff when I first got interested in photography as a teenager. But I believe that different slide films show different colour and contrast signatures - colourful Velvia vs neutral Provia, etc. Your choice of slide film is therefore a conscious 'manipulation' of the scene you are recording. There ought to be little to do in terms of PP, other than as stated, maybe a little cropping and sharpening.

Great shots Alan, you have a real eye for urban abstracts. I really like 'silhouettes' and the 'building' series.

Can photographs be used to perpetuate violence? Images were taken of many American lynchings, right into the 20th century, and distributed as postcards and souvenirs. http://withoutsanctuary.org/

The modern version of this is the ubiquitous filming of vengeful killing in some Middle Eastern countries.

I tried typing with a blackberry once; made a terrible mess of my keyboard.
