Very nice shot Alan. I would have voted for it. Tim, some brilliant shots that really show off what Pentax equipment can do!

I managed to squeeze a few into PPG under the radar. The one that was rejected was the one which people on here liked the most from the set!

As far as voting goes, I consider whether the shot shows Pentax equipment in a favourable light, as the gallery is a sort of shop-window for the brand, and whether it shows Pentax photographers as creative and competent behind the camera.

I'm not sure about the new series, and the new Daleks don't really do it for me. They look kind of cuddly!

That was brilliant! Thanks

Is flash really the best solution? That baby's not going to be sleeping for very long, and will probably grow up with a phobia of flashing lights! I would go with soft window light, maybe try and drape some white sheets or tinfoil to reflect the light back from the other side. You might want fairly wide apertures anyway, most of the nicest shots of babies I have seen have been lovely and soft.

It was a remarkably clear day today, the absence of con trails and the clouds they form has been very noticeable. Nice colour, I saw something similar through the office window, but unfortunately I was working so missed the sunset.

Looks a bit like the tree in Avatar. Did you see any blue smurf-people?

It looks a wee bit soft to me. Whether you are quackers to include it depends on the quality of the other shots you are going to be showing!

Per person, per km, at normal intercity operating speeds?

The received wisdom is that rail travel is less oil-greedy, and I can't see any reason to doubt that moving from long haul holiday flights to more local holiday destinations reached by train or car, and moving from short haul business flights to rail journeys, would reduce energy consumption and emissions quite a bit.

Have there been any studies showing planes more fuel efficient than trains, Stefan?

Very nice. Think you should skew it, to correct the 'droop', even if it is technically correct.
