If you can remember the hyperlink to your photostream, I think it "bypasses" your requirement to login. That being the case, click on YOU (thelittle dropdown arrow), YOUR ACCOUNT, then there may be clues as to what email account you used to register. Once you see your login email address, try logging in as normal by inserting what you think is the registered password, and if that doesn't work, click to request a password reminder/reset password.

Your hyperlink will look something like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/(your name)

Jeez!!.. How many aerosols of Febreze did you go through on that shoot, Alan??

I'd never have thought of that as a subject though, so well done mate!!

Flickr is a Yahoo-owned site. Try your Yahoo email address. If you are a BT Internet customer, you might be able to acces it with your btinternet.com address.

#13 is Southend-On-Sea (I think!)...

5 (London Eye at night), and 8 (LCY airport looking east towards Thames Estuary) are probably the best shots.

Chunky - if you paid attention in school, you'd know that during the Highland Clearances, Pentax owners were despatched to all 4 corners of the New World, hence the influx of foreign breeds contaminating good old Scottish soil!!

Adam - I also seem to recollect that there was a club (I think) in the Woodley area, and also think there was a small gathering in/around Pangbourne, if that's a bit more useful. I seem to recall that at the Maidenhead club there was a guy who was with TV Police, so there's also a (remote) possibility that your local cop-shop knows of a club... Long shot, I know - but, you'd be surprised!

Depends which part of Berkshire. I used to live in Maidenhead, and there used to be a club there - dunno if there still is though. If there's a camera shop called FOCAL POINT in Queen Street (opp. York Road), they might be able to point you in their direction. If not, try someone at Jessops in the Main Street, or at Snappy Snaps on the corner of Market Street (assuming they are both still there, of course!).

Hi Jason, and welcome to a great site! Good choice of camera too!..

Personally, I think the best thing about digital slr's are that all the info relating to shutter speed, aperture, etc are all embedded into the photograph (exif data) - this allows you to later cast a critical eye over the overall image quality (lighting, shadows/highlights, etc) and make some sort of sense of how it all correlates to the exif data.

With film photography, you pretty much had to catalogue each roll of film, and hand-write the exif data into a wee notepad - that's before you finally developed the film! You then had to dodge and burn in-lab to achieve the result you wanted. Digital allows that to take place pretty much "in-camera", with the further ability to "post-process" with a program such as those offered by Adobe and the like.

What I tend to do (until I become intimate with the functions of my Kr) is to experiment with the other functions (Tv, Av, Night mode, etc) by taking photos that I know will have no real end purpose, other than allowing me to learn what each function has to offer, then when I want to take shots I'm likely to keep, I select auto-picture mode (unless I feel confident that a function I've successfully experimented with would be better).

You will know how best to learn how your camera functions - just go out and enjoy your new toy. I think you will be extremely pleasantly surprised with it!

Sounds as though a connector's loose somewhere in the guts of the cam, or the pcb is fried. Send it back to Pentax, quoting the Sale of Goods Act, specifically the part about "being fit for purpose". Should fetch you a brand-new camera at the very least. Consider any additional freebies a definite bonus.

What's to debug? If I have a desktop, laptop, or notebook pc and the debug tells me my hard-drive's fried, or that my ram's knackered, I buy a new H/D or a stick of ram. My CCD gets fried in my Kr, do Curry's have a replacement p'n'p CCD for it?.. I didn't think so!

Heron Drive, Langley, Slough's just the other side of Heathrow for me, so I guess I'll be heading over in that direction should my camera decide to die on me! Thanks, but no thanks!!
