I let them tell me what to do, then I invest some kind of "unusual" occurence, like "Oh my!!... I've never seen that happen before! - do you think I have a virus?". Of course, I'm just randomly typing on my keyboard! I then invest several other scenarios, basically to p**s them off!!

- dunno about you, Will - but I found that marrying a Thai lady was immensely helpful on that score!!

If you use the following link: link there is a facility to add an image, just below the description box.

Number 2 was shot using a fish-eye/wide-angle??.. It looks as though the nose cone's been bent towards the left!

The final pic would have looked more dramatic if you'd caught the shot with the afterburners switched on in the engines, I think.

My fave?.. Number 1!!... A bright, colourful image.

Welcome!!.. As for choosing a Pentax DSLR, I think it really comes down to your budget, and how you see yourself using the camera. I own a Kr, which must be a relatively simple camera to operate, as it is currently in Thailand with my wife who is a total novice at photography. She still refers to slr's as "big cameras", such is her lack of experience with such equipment. So far, she has taught herself DOF, and taking candids of our 3-year old neice and her 7-year old cousin, and you know how difficult it can be to photograph kids!

An article aimed directly at the "hard of thinking", methinks!! The next edition will probably go with a world-exclusive such as: DSLR LENSES ALSO WORK ON 35MM CAMERAS!!

What made me suspect something "untoward" was that some of the less-bright stars were still visible through the Aurora. I'd have thought that the Northern Lights would have scattered the light they were emitting, or been more powerful, so as to "eliminate" their luminance altogether.

Great shots, but I couldn't help but notice that the white specks in each photo are in the same place. Is this perhaps a sign of dust/impurities on your lens?

Don't worry - as she gets much older, she'll go from having purple hair to having a blue rinse!!

Great shot, though!!

Why was the Queen waving at the firemen? Hasn't she seen the tv ads for uniformdating.com?

Try cloning out the out-of-focus intrusion on this shot of Mrs Windsor and you'll have a great photo!
