The watermark on the image suggests that this is an online store, rather than an individual. With such high positive feedback, plus the added security of being able to buy using Paypal suggests that if it's what you want, they are a fairly reliable source. My own feeling is that you can buy with confidence from this seller.

It was when I was a spotty teenager!!.. Oh, sorry!!.. We're discussing cameras here??!!

For as long as we have people with more money than brains that think nothing of splashing out £2,000+ for designer bags from the likes of Louis Vuitton, Yves St Laurent, etc, believe me... These camera bags will sell!

Whatever happened to the good old days, when "designer" labels bore the name "George @ ASDA", "Keynote" from Littlewoods, or "St Michael" from Marks & Spencer??

Have a read at the above link to see if it answers your question, AG. TBH, I think the shutter lag on any digital camera is going to seriously hinder what you're trying to achieve, although not entirely impossible. I think it's a case of "more luck than judgement" though.

AG - I think the reason the background looks OOF is due to the fact that the air was damp, or as Stan pointed out, before it rained, hence the "blurring". I like your idea of making it a bit more panoramic though!!

Looks good, Stan.. However - maybe a starburst effect would have brought a bit more impact to the shot with the artificial lights over in the background?

come to think of it.. The lady wearing the hat looks familiar, but for the life of me, I can't think why!!

Bernard - where are you making those live changes?..

If you connect your camera to the lappy via the supplied mini-usb cable that came with your camera, your camera, in effect, becomes a MASS STORAGE DEVICE. To access your pictures, click on START / MY COMPUTER, and hopefully you should see your MSD either labelled as the name of your camera (PENTAX K5, or similar), or it will be assigned a drive letter (I would guess anything from E: onwards through the alphabet). Open up the relevant folder, then browse to the photo(s) you require. If you are intending to demo/tutor as a Photoshop course, then open the folder where the photos are, in the same way as you would access the ones in the MY PHOTOS folder. Use PS/PSE/CS6 or whatever as your editing suite as normal, and once you have done, simply save the amended photo(s) back to your MSD, remembering to rename the file! That way, you have the original, as well as the edit!

I hope this way the kind of thing you were hoping to achieve!

Must be Sean Connery then!!

Nope, sorry!!... I don't recognise the bald gent at all!!.. Who is he??
