I'm Scottish, so I'm saying nothing!!

Cheers, Gareth!! I know where you are! I used to drive past it on the way through to Markinch when I was a courier driver based in Edinburgh.

Where's your FC based, Gareth?

BTW: is there a huge demand for inflatable slides amongst Fife's centenarians??

I can't remember what I earned way back then. I do remember that when Pentax launched the ME Super I bought mine for about £150 from Dixons at the corner of Gordon Street, and Union Street in Glasgow. Since I worked a couple of doors along from there, I knoew the staff quite well, so I managed to get them to throw in 10 rolls of Kodak Colour 100ASA/ISO 24 exposure for free. Through time, I added lenses and stuff from other shops such as Elena Mae in Sauchiehall Street, or Lasky's in Buchanan Street (before they moved to West Nile Street - it's now the China Buffet King, I believe)....

Aaaaaah!!.. MEMORIES!!

John - as far as I understand it, the phrase "home cinema" is used to describe in layman's terms the speed by which the projector's circuitry can process the signals that ultimately become the projected moving image. The quality of the still image there for should (in theory, at least) be a high-definition (or pretty close to it) image projection. I think, therefore, that in the case of still images, you should be looking at the amount of colour bleed the projector has, and indeed the colour rendition.

As far as I can tell, Flickr Explore works in a similar way to Google Search, although Flickr's search tool is "in-house". I also think that there's an element of "tagging" done in the search too.

Great shot, Dave! I think the reason it's been "explored" is that it's a great abstract to use as a desktop backgroung on a pc. If the shot's CC'ed, then whoever's browsing will get in touch to request licensing - if they're interested enough.

If I get the opportunity, I'm gonna try to get a shot as each block bites the dust. There's another long block to come down, as well as anoth 5 single structures - it'll be a sort of "time-lapse" I think.

I've been looking at multi-monitor set-ups on the internet, and found a site that allows users to upload and download images for dual, triple, and quad-monitor setups. If anybody's interested in putting their work on the site, feel free to join. There's no money to be made by uploading to this site, but it may be another way to put your "name in the frame".

Since it's a "niche" market it's catering to, I don't think copyright theft is something to worry about, however, maybe any images you do post can be watermarked, with a link back to your email address so that if somebody wants the untouched image, you could possibly negotiate a fee.

I've uploaded one image to see how it goes in the meantime.

Good point, John!! The photo of the Red Road flats in my portfolio here took on a new significance yesterday when one of the multistorey blocks was blown up.
