My Guess. The wicket keepers eyes are still on the ball and looking straight ahead. If the ball had been hit then his eyes would be foloowing the ball on its way to the boundry. Might indicate bowled or stumped.

George. When I see a Lakeland picture, having never had the opportunity to see them, my response is. My God! How great thou art.

I am willing to accept your response but to make the claim that the 'only' response it produces is your version has me imagining you on a very tall soapbox with a broad smile on your face just teasing us all.

Just a bit of fun, George. Nice to have you at your very best.

Smeggy. I know you enjoy a zany sense of humour, as I do.
I once took a picture of a traffic warden having a right bargy with a motorist. Immediately above their heads was a roadside notice. 'CROSS HERE'.

I think ninety percent of those who have seen that picture just did not get it. Most muttered Bl....y traffic wardens! One suggested I could be done for taking the picture. It simply shows that we all see a picture in our own way

Smeggy. Club comps has to be about one judge. It works in its own way.
What we also do is to leave the comp pictures on a table and then discuss between the members and sometimes the judge gets involved the various pictures and comments.
This at least gives the picture owners a chance to explain why and how the picture was taken. Constructive comment face to face is so valuable for understanding how others actually see your work
It is the only situation where I would put forward my take on a picture.

As my father taught me...there is something beautiful and interesting in everything you see...you just have to look for it.

That is how I view other people's pictures..but I don't need to tell them what and how I saw it.

There is nothing more destructive to my creativity and imagination than to hear a club judge completely miss the point of my picture.

Algi. If you can sell one of these on to me, I would be grateful. It looks promising.

Perhaps it is my need to hold the camera tight to my eye to compensate for shaky hands that is my undoing, plus a skin that is naturally oily.
The refconverter does not help in this situation.
The Pentax finder magnifier would certainly help if I could find one.
The Nikon model is an extended viewfinder, similar to the Pentax magnifier M that keeps the eye away from the camera. Cannot establish if this will fit the K5.

Forever getting smears on my screen from my nose, I was wondering if there was an extender piece similar to the Nikon one that fits the K5.
It must be a familiar problem. My nose is not oversize. Any suggestions for overcoming this problem? please!

Regards Thoramay.
