Thanks Peter, and yes, I think she is smiling.

Males are much smaller and generally don't survive very long after mating as the female is very likely to eat him. That could be why she's smiling.
I never knew that. Some spiders have the same arrangement I think. Is this very common in the insect world?

ps. I know spiders are not insects !

Try Alan at http://www.cam-rep.co.uk/

He is in Shepperton so you could drop it into him.

Has cleaned/fixed a number of my "K" and M series lenses.

Have a look on this site http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/lenses/index.html so you can post exactly what you have.

This only applies for K-mount lenses (which is not the same thing as a "K" series lens).

The simple answer is to post only small size pictures on the web for general viewing.

You can make larger pictures "private", so only people you wish to download can do so.

Personally, I would be quite chuffed if someone thought my photo worthy of using, but then I am not a professional.

I always have a buffer amount to cover any eventualities, charges for being overdrawn can be high. I know that a lot of people have very limited incomes and unfortunately they can get caught out.
I think the trouble is there is no leeway these days. It would be nice to think you might get a call from the freindly bank manager to say you are going overdrawn but those days are long gone. Unfortunately it is black and white. One penny overdrawn and the alarms go off and the charges start being racked up.

However unfortunate for SmutjeUK it is how things are done today and I dont think they will change.

I think it is pretty clear that when you set up a paypal account if you dont have funds in paypal to pay for your purchase, they will take it from a funding source you have supplied to them...ie your bank account.

HDR isn't really my thing so I am not too sure about the second one, although it is a remarkable image.

The first one however is a cracker. i wish i had taken it. Well done !!

so am i the only one that has EV compensation on the front wheel?
No Stefan, you are not alone. I have my K10 set so that the rear dial controls aperture in Av and shutter in Tv. I also use the front dial for exposure compensation.

I dont know if it was because I was brought up on film or because the K10 does not do >800 ISO very well, but I tend to set a fixed ISO (100 or 200) and stick with it until the light is poor and I need to use a higher one.
