Our local John Lewis started their sale today, so I went for a poke round. In a slightly shoddy box I found a Samsung SEF 36PZF flash, which I thought was probably the same as the Pentax AF-360FGZ. They said it had been kicking round their store room for several years. It was twenty pounds, and although I can't easily find a price on the internet, I think I might have been rather lucky.

Anyone know what price it should have been?

Thanks,

Robert.

Congratulations to Aiki and thanks to David for spending the time on the comments. With the variety and quality this fortnight it can't have been an easy competition to judge.

Now, lets see if I can remember how to do this, it's been a while. We've been away, hence:

Goose Rocks Beach, Maine, USA.

It was the singing butler with the umbrella's day off, and the ball gown was at the cleaners, so other entertainment had to be found...

Taken on 2nd Jan 2010 at about 1430.
60mm, 1/45th, f5.6. Flickr reports the ISO as 100, but I'm not sure I believe it. I'll have to look at the original file again when I get home from work.

Well done Mike for a lovely interpretation of the theme, and thanks too to Daniel for spending half the night writing some interesting comments.

The waves had moved noticeably between the three shots, so it was surprising the sea came out not looking too odd. It's good you thought I'd succeeded in making it look non-HDR, as that was what I'd tried to do.

I thought I'd get the list up to date again, but I seem to have lost the ability to edit it. Anyone have any idea why or what to do about it?

I doubt you'll be regretting it. Still, I don't suppose RR will have time to read everything when he gets back from holiday, so in the unlikely event I do win we might get away with volunteering him .
