Well we don't get hummingbirds here in the UK, so I suppose this is the next best thing! Excellent shot. Machine gun mode is just right for this sort of thing, not cheating at all...

Hey! That Microsoft ICE works great, just tried it on a handheld pano which PSE7 had failed to line up perfectly. ICE nailed it, although the slight vignetting of the lens has resulted in a slightly uneven sky.

9 vertical images, handheld...

Andrew - are you using the DNG Raw format? You should be able to open DNG files in Photoshop.

Alternatively you can update your version of Photoshop's compatibility with RAW formats via a plug in downloaded from Adobe's website.

I agree with Tim. Really nice composition, especially no.2, though.

Not according to David Cameron. Although you are close!

The editor loved the K-7, so I'm not surprised the K-5 went down well

while it didn’t make the good design award’s ‘best 15’, the ‘korejanai robo’ was awarded a prize in the competition. designed and made by zarigani works, the ‘korejanai robo’ literally translates to ‘not this robot’. the robot is handmade out of wood and comes in a variety of different designs.
Quote:
The name of the robot, Korejanai, derives from Japanese children who wanted the specific Gundam toy, and, when they didn't get it, yelled "KOREJANAIIIII!" Meaning: this is not it. The Korejanai robot was made as a parody, and is now loved in his own right.
A cute bit of modern Japanese culture. I love it!

Doh. Filling my windscreen washer tank with antifreeze, something possessed me to poke the coolant tank with my finger. Finger went straight through the plastic, which must have gone brittle, leaving a hole the size of a 2p.

I guess for now I'll have to find a way of sealing the hole up until I have time to take the car in for a new tank

Some crazy shots there

No. 31, the long exposure of moths, shows you don't have to go to the ends of the earth

I think they were actually talking about what the lens looks like, Ken!
