Some great images here, Matt!!... Number 3 looks like you photoshopped the canoe in, it's so well balanced on the edge!

Not quite the threepenny bits I expected to see!! The coins are "out of shape" though, because of the angle this shot was taken at, but interesting nonetheless.

I saw that after I'd posted, Steve.. I guess it also fits one of those Russian camcorders that Del-boy was punting in an episode of Only Fools And Horses!! )

Given that it's duty/vat paid, plus customs clearance fees would also have been charged, so my best guess is that the original cost of this lens in not more than £40 to buy from South Korea (the brand name suggests it's Korean, at least!).

If you're interested, I sell a lovely range of barge-poles, so that you can touch this item with it!!

Nice pic, looks grainy so I'm guessing it was taken on a mobile. Shame it wasn't straightened before being published though.
I think when you are perched a couple of hundred feet up, with freezing cold winds swirling about you, and an icy-cold bath awaiting some distance below you, your mind tends to focus less on straight angles, or whether your mobile phone's good enough for the shot, and the mind would tend to focus a wee bit more on the prevailing conditions - unless you intent taking part in the annual Loony Dook!!

The program itself will be set up in such a way as to automatically direct you to the activation screen, but I would imagine that there is a "back-door" via their website. Try going to their website, and look for a site map. If they have one, simply look for the activation screen from there.

Any chance that it's partly caused by light pollution? Maybe there's a plug-in available to fix this for you.

I don't know if DSLR's have internal batteries similar to the battery that sits on your computer's mobo. The battery in your pc primarily controls the on-board clock, so that when you switch on, your pc's clock is pretty much accurate. If that's the case with a DSLR, I think you are in need of a new internal battery. Try contacting Pentax for further advice.

Nick - stick with the books. Film cersus digital is kinda like cassette versus compact disc - it is just a digitised form of what's already there, if you catch my drift. Digital cameras still function by the use of ISO settings, apertures, shutter speeds, etc. Let the books open your mind to the world of colour and light, and when you feel confident enough, go out and fire off some shots! Just enjoy, and learn from any mistakes you feel you have made.
