Congrats, Stuart!.. As regards "pitfalls", probably the card company want to buy the images from you outright, but if you think there's a chance that this could "snowball", negotiate with them that you are given accreditation for your work by way of a link to a website and/or email address. If you choose the email address route, it's probably best to set up a disposable email address specifically for that purpose, or if you have a specific email address where family/friends/business associates contact you, eg, btinternet.com then set up an account with another site such as hotmail.com which you then use as your "disposable" email address.

Andrew - if you have any to hand, use ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL on a moist, lint-free cloth. Failing that, try VODKA!!

Gareth - if it's a Li-ion battery, I can guarantee you that leaking and bursting are the least of your worries! Chances are that the battery will spontaneously combust, and if it's still inside your camera body when this happens, you'll be looking at a shiny-new camera!

When I done my IATA/ICAO Dangerous Goods by Air refresher recently, the tutor showed us a short video of a laptop with a Li-ion battery explode, hence the warning labels on your nice new laptop's box. It'll only be a matter of time before cameras receive the same treatment, handling-wise.

Smeggy - of course, I did mean capacity but at time of writing, I didn't make myself clear as my brain was fried at that point, having just finished a 14-hour shift - and I'm not even a junior doctor!!

True - but the capacity is what really counts.

The important thing to look out for is the charge rate. For example, the Li-109 (for the Kr) is rated at 1050 mAh (Pentax own brand). Similar batteries may not hold the same charge, so if I were to buy an unbranded battery, I'd be looking for another 1050 mAh, or above - perhaps a 1080 mAh battery.

I took the Kr into Knightsbridge today, to watch the cycle race passing by Harrods on the Brompton Road. Camera set to Moving Object Mode, and shooting at (stretched) arm's length, I fired off numerous shots. With more patience, I reckon that more than a few will get through PP. These shots I've added here were simply cropped using WLPG, so the edits are very basic. C & C welcome!

David - if you do decide to try getting pics of the cycle race tomorrow, AVOID the Piccadilly Line at Knightsbridge Station, particularly the station exit at the corner of Brompton Road/Sloane Street!! The race is bypassing this area, and the roads will be getting closed around 3pm, I believe. I'd suggest parking yourself at Hyde Park Corner around the Station entrance and the walkway (next to the Piccadilly underpass) - there's a "high(ish)" vantage point there.

Poor dog!! All that food, and nothing to wash it down with!!... Maybe doggy would appreciate a nice cold beer from your fridge in this warm weather, Smeggy!!

Algi - I looked at that... I think you have to have 4.31 installed first, as 4.35 only performs an update.
