Great shot and dito about the Wood Wasp

Thanks for all the effort everyone. I now intend to open a bottle of wine and contemplate your advice. I'm sure after the second glass something profound will lodge in my head.

This may be a daft question and it may look as though I've missed the point, I am still a relative newbie at this.
If a 300mm lens is attached to a K10D it becomes a 500mm lens because of the 1.5 times multiplier. My understanding is that I should set the speed to match the size of the lens, so a 300mm lens fully extended should be set to a minimum 1/300 and adjust the F stop / ISO accordingly to get a pin sharp image. Should I be setting this to 1/500 because of the multiplier?

Brings back memories of camping, staggering out of the tent with the smell of bacon in the air, happy days!!!!!!!!

The only benefit that I can see to this is that you can then save the file unmolested in a photoshop file format, giving you the option to output the file with watermark turned on or off without having two copies floating around on you hard drive.

I’m a Photoshop user but the principal should be the same.
Select “Full Edit” then create a new layer ( I believe the layers option is on the right hand side). Making sure the new layer is selected add your text. After you have completed this go to the “file” option and select “Save for Web”. This will allow you to output the file as a jpg with the layer information embedded.

I live in Amble, Northumberland. Plenty of good fish & chips if you’re up this way!!!! I'm a struggling Pentax K10D user still finding my feet, usually found wandering somewhere in the wilderness in the hope of eventually taking something passable.

Thanks for the pictures. The clarity is quite good I need to give this some consideration.
