I was walking through the woods just recently taking wildlife photos for my personal use when I came across two men carry binoculars. As I said ‘hello’ and passed them, one of them said to the other ‘why do people carry cameras when you have two eyes? Binoculars are much better’.

My thoughts came up with so many witty comments that it actually overloaded my brain, so I never replied. Damm it!!

Well at the time I thought it was funny

There's a few heated words said about the freedom of photographers in this forum. Common sense is need

For example, it is not illegal to take a photograph of any property as long as you are not standing on private grounds. Military sensitive are an exception for the obvious reasons. However, if someone objects, it is better to move on and come back at a later date than to confront an objector

It is not illegal to take photographs of any persons as long as you are not standing on private grounds. However, a parent will object to a photograph being taken of their child. I certainly will and, although wrong, the law will support that parent. Would it be easier to ask for permission first explaining the purpose of the photograph? Also what is someone suppose to think if your taking photographs of children from outside the school grounds?

People will feel violated if they realised if they have been photographed without their permission. The best bet is to do it sneakily or pretend your part of the press.

Taking photographs on private grounds need permission to publicise but regardless if permission is gained or not, the copyright remains with the photographer. National trust, are you listening?

Any good recovery software that can pull delete files from a memory card?

Actually replace delete with format?

I presume i've lost everything!!

The most interesting camera I own is a 1924 medium format Kodak vest pocket model B.

My grandad give it to me and was very impressed when I loaded it up with film and took a few family snaps

But boy did it need cleaning out. The camera that is!!

I've done a search for SP Studio Systems and I came up with this

www.bkaphoto.com

All american thought, but it does contain flashes that look like portaflash. Looks like I have to invest towards Interfit, They've just bought out a new range called Venus

Can anyone tell me if Portaflash are still in business (or even if someone cares). I'm getting told two different stories that yes it's true, and no they still big (hmmm!!).

Do they have a web site!?

WHAT!? No K10D!!!!!

Very nice collection. I sold my MX a year ago. That was a BIG mistake as the replacement as the MZ-50. Didn't think I'll still use film when I upgraded (or downgraded, depending on your view) to digital
