Just had a very frustrating experience with a Fedex delivery from JPServices.
Correct Tracking number was denied by their tracking site.
Head office helpful but left me to do all the phonework.
Told the driver would contact me shortly.
Sat by the phone for one and half hours and then had to ring again.
A disinterested female did eventually call the driver again.
Eventually a surly driver made the delivery.
Not the service I haave come to expect from Fedex.

Many similar effects can be produced using a car smoke rendered glass with a mirror underneath using flash or even sunlight. It's great fun but not universally accepted by club judges from my experience.

Jon. Thanks for the link. Very comprehensive and informative. Looking at the two Dell models 2211 and 2311. Not sure of the benefit of the bigger model.
Thanks, John. The 2209 is now updated. My experience of Dell has always been positive but just a little concerned of a posting that said that Dell has been known to change the panels in these models and there is no guarantee of a IPS panel.

John. This is really timely. Lagging behind my fellow club members on print comps, I am thinking of getting a monitor rather than using the laptop.
I think I can recall you reccommending a monitor, possibly a Dell. I was intending to ask your advice and also how it could be colour balanced ( I believe this is the correct term).
I suspect members have their own favourites. Suggestions would be welcome, please.

Thanks for the brilliant response. I can browse this version at my leasure and at a print size I can read comfortably. It takes me a while for the information to sink in. Having it quickly available on screen is a brilliant solution. Thanks again, guys. The Forum never fails me,

I am slowly discovering mostly how the K5 works but am frustrated with the manual. My hands cannot cope adequately with this stiff backed booklet.
There must be alternative manuals. Can a K5 user give reccommendations, please.

regards Thoramay.

Yuk!! I can't believe you have suggested this. I build a mental picture from the member's postings and would not want this compromised by reality.
I am happy to hide behind my picture from a local shop displaying model heads in various dressings. I am sure this is more acceptable than my weathered face.

Womble...you have it spot on..and if I were even twenty years younger I would be doing what you are doing. Film is fun and what I cut my teeth on, so to speak.

I have the Z1. I was given some film Fujicolour 200 ASA. It was fun and that healthy clunk of the shutter was a reassuring sound.

It is now only when I come to see the results that I find the technology to do so not only confusing but vastly expensive, and I regret that my energy levels simply cannot cope with the necessary changes.

Some of us look forward and embrace the new. Some of us in our old age look back and wonder how it has all changed and have regrets. It's where I am.

Lets see how the results turn out. Maybe I will get a surprise and will be tempted to follow some of the good advice on this Forum.

Thanks for all your comments. I had this idea that film would be simple and fun. Fun it is but no more than that. My fault for not checking it out first.
I am too well advanced in years to want to store photos for memories, memory being the worst of my health issues.
I now take photos to compete in the camera club. It is my motivation for being a photographer. If film leaves me at a disadvantage in competitions then it becomes pointless.
My K5 is a dream to use and just as much fun. Returning to the past can sometimes be rewarding and a reminder of how it used to be. Sadly, with film I am just remided on how it used to be. I'll leave it there, I think.
