trying to enter fortnightly contest but confused about where pic goes !?
can't find any 'How to' or instructions anywhere !?

tried using image tags, but no luck. I see there's a set place for weekly contest.

I don't think it's snobbery, it's just that Pentax only holds just under 3% of the market share so by law of averages you'll see far fewer Pentax photos than you will Canon and Nikon. Nothing to stop you entering next year and bucking the trend.
I should be so lucky not that good ! (yet !!)

Just been browsing the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the year book (portfolio 14). Dozens of beautiful images and NOT ONE taken on a Pentax SLR !! (digital OR film !) I was surprised ! I thought there would be a few !? No need to say what they were taken with, is there !? Only mention of Pentax was for the '645' (2 pics). Is it ALL snobbery or is there really a big difference, or maybe just a good sales job !?

A K10D is what I'm after (if and when I can afford it) as it has some of the better features found on my old *ist D, namely 'Exposure' selection from dial (not menu) and 'Hyper' mode, which I quite liked. It also had coninuous focus by switch, another nice touch.

In the mean time I'm trying to get the best/most out of my K100D

Only 4 flash choices that I see using the Fn button ; Auto or Manual, with or without 'Red eye' !!

Saw a post that said K10 could do it, just wondered about K100 !?

would I be right in thinking that the flash on a K100D fires at the start of the exposure period and can't be set to fire at the end (with the trailing shutter/curtain) ??

can't find any custom option to let me change this !?
(need to buy that K10 perhaps ??)
