Thanks Andrew, also a cost consideration, seemed the best value for money.

Well we have had 5 days of rain and drizzle here in Yorkshire. So thought I would take out the new P&S compact, Ricoh CX4. Now bought this for it's compactness, reasonable spec's and to be able to slip it into a pocket when traveling. Only used it a couple of times but seems OK there are little quirks to get used to, shutter lag ect. but am fairly pleased with the results. Anyway the rain was quite heavy and I was walking past these shop windows and it made me think of the contrast between the summer and now.

Sent this shot to Calendar, the regional news program and they showed it on the evening weather forecast. It is the second image of mine they have used on the show.

Second image is super.

A case of always read the smallprint then.

OMG man give em some privacy.

Gareth the first link is wrong, should belink this.

The key word in all of this is "suspicion", this gives any person in authority the reason to enforce whatever rules they have. But this is subjective to each individual, we as the general public may not see the significance in an inocent incident, however because of the over zelous, although many would argue they are not, security, then they challenge everything. Suppose it justifies there jobs.

I suggest people have a read of this.

I was stopped outside a local centre and told by security I couldn't take shot's on there land as it was privately owned by them, of course for security reasons...............this country has become a joke.

A fine choice of camera, look forward to seeing some of your work. Welcome to the forums.
