They're my nieces, Peter. Well hopefully you'll have some grandkids to chase around with the camera at some stage, hopefully not tooo soon though

I really like your Flickr sets by the way... very quirky and eccentric, obviously something in the water in your corner of Essex!

Btw, photoshop 7 will edit raw files. Maybe it hasn't got the right converter for your PEF files, but you can download it or simply shoot in DNG format. For me the main advantage of RAW is much better noise reduction. Especially with lightroom 3 but photoshop is also very good. You can also pull back more detail into highlights and shadows which you would have to sacrifice even on a 'perfectly' exposed jpeg.

Thanks for a very useful comparison John. And let me know if you ever do decide to sell the 15mm...

Another cheap alternative would be a Zenitar 16mm (c.£90 s/h) & a film body (c.£10 s/h). This shot is on out of date badly stored 400ASA colour print film:

Gorgeous dog, lovely rich colours in those shots.

He was a great friend, and i'm sure he was 'human'!

And he was probably sure you were a dog, which is just as much of an accolade.

Awww, that reminded me of this post on Justin Serpico's blog link

It's a porcelain receptacle with a handle, containing hot water within which the leaves of Camellia sinensis have been brewed, and milk, squeezed from a cow....

Sorry!

Hopefully the competition itself will have guidance on the subject... other than that, it's pretty self explanatory. You could try googling...http://abduzeedo.com/abstract-colored-shapes-photography

I think irrespective of brand, I tend to favour not putting all my eggs in one basket and have a few cheap 4GB / 8GB cards stashed away in my bag. I also do what I do with wine in restaurants, and buy the second cheapest!

Good job they do a no quibble refund, I only hope you can recover the pics.

That brings back childhood memories of sitting in the back of my grandfads landy being transported to agricultural shows and christmas pantos - bouncing up and down on hard metal benches with no seatbelt or restraint whatsoever!

I don't think you need worry about that scenario!
