Thanks for the comments guys

Stefan - Whats it about then? Perhaps that means my shots dont really tell the story as they should do for this kind of photography, but the event is the memorial parade of the 2nd battalion Mercian regiment. Presumably for all fallen comrades in all wars the regiment has ever been in.

Dave - Nice idea I shall track down the regiment contact details.

Oggy yes i know it works, I mean to say that IE8 keeps flashing up a block to scripts and I have to accept it for each session which is both annoying and has lead to the above error I experienced.

Curious. The BB code used on most of the forums I use would accept Steve's original post and translate it as a link. This one does not.

Paradoxically, if you leave the link code out altogether and simply paste the URL into the post, it does interpret it as a link
Originally I used the Link button and pasted in the url, that wouldnt work for some odd reason so I typed the link brackets in and recopied and pasted the url, still no joy. It may have had something to do with IE trying to block a script I have no idea how to stop it doing that, most annoying.

This was shot today and my first attempt at this kind of photography, not quite sure what you would call it. Anyway here are a few of the best shots.

Thats a great shot with the sigma DG EX 100-300mm f4. I have this lens and not really used it much yet. I have the 1.4 TC but how do you find the x2, is it still pretty sharp?

Yes I dont know why the link wouldnt work I tried all sorts, both using the link button and also typing it in?

Still as you say great image and what a location, I would love to go there, have you seen his other images from the same place, absolutely stunning.

I may be wrong but I believe the K10d is discontinued. Plenty of second hand examples around though, some get posted here on the classifieds forum. The K20d is also discontinued being replaced by the K7 though you may still get a new one if you are quick.

Another option is the new Kx though i know little of it but it does have good reports, though not up to K20d standards.

For Steam enthusiasts....

Just came across this flickr image of an amazing place to see steam engines still in use. I felt obliged to pass on this image link

if you insist on Pentax original batteries, I'd buy one sharpish. If you're happy to use a 3rd party alternative, I doubt it will become a problem for some years to come.
Thanks
