Michal,

Your sad wreck is about as popular as my Magnolias, judging by the number of comments we have had.

Some people today have no values, take something and destroy it!

Don't remember to much about Swansea though. My step-father was from there and his family lived on Pant-y-Celyn and we would visit twice a year. We would be taken down the path and steps from there to Singleton Park, and then walk back up Mount Pleasant. It tired us out.

Then in later life, a friend went to University there and on numerous visits we would do the "Mumbles Run".
Those were the days....and the Mumbles run...ohh bad heads.....was it Singleton or Cwmdonkin park???

You are younger than me...do you remember the fire station at the bottom of Mt Pleasant...Police Stn now.

Cardiff local city now....I did my bit for Swansea when I was in WDA FForestfach to start with, before being kicked upstairs.

Cwmdonkin...a very special refuge link

Sorry Ned...Bleeding hearts!

When snapping with my newly discovered Centon 500mm mirror lens yesterday, I observed camera shake, when carefully looking thru the viewfinder, camera on tripod...using self timer, 12 secs.

This is a function of mirror vibration.

For those of you who are not aware, the solution to this is to use the mirror up function, 2 sec self timer in drive mode.

Whilst using remote, the picture is taken 2 secs after mirror pops up, thereby preventing camera shake from that source. AE lock is enabled with the exposure value set immediately before the mirror goes up.

RTFM p128

Robin,

It is because of the light path in an SLR - happens with all brands and models and has always been the case.
OK.
