A few years ago I had a load of 1960s Super 8 films copied onto DVD by a commercial firm. I've just had a look at the DVD and the company was called 'ontodvd.com'. I can't remember how much it cost, but recall that I thought it reasonable at the time. The process worked smoothly and easily - I just sent off the films and then got them back complete with packaged DVD.

Dear All

The subject for the next weekly competition is 'Blue'. Please use your imagination to interpret this as widely as possible - it could be the colour or it could be the mood/emotion, it's up to you. The closing date is 26th June.

I look forward to your contributions.

A few more from the fabulous poppy field just outside West Clandon in Surrey. Nos. 1 & 2 were taken with the Tamron 70-200 F2.8; all the rest with the Pentax DA* 16-50 F2.8.

What a superb set - congratulations!!

IMHO they are all really good and exhibit different things of interest. I don't want to pick a favourite(s), because they cover such a wide range of the aspects of Iceland.

My (probably similarly ancient - late 70s vintage) Vivitar 2x worked on my K-r only in Manual mode, but I haven't tried in on the K-5iis.

That's a really great set. I like them all in different ways, particularly 3 & 7, but I'm not sure about No.4 - there seems to be a bit of a halo around the buildings which isn't obvious in any of others. Worth giving it another go in post processing?

I don't know about 'Hugin' - but I presume so. You have to download ICE

I don't do a lot of panoramas, but when I do I tend to use Microsoft's Image Composite Editor. It's pretty easy to use and it's free - see
