!!!GOOD MORNING DURHAM!!! Newbiggin weather Nay points at aall

Cue the "Goodnight Mom Pop Grandpa etc" scene from the Waltons

Fast? What does that mean?

It's blowing a gale here, sky is various shades of grey with patches of white and blue.

That would be great. There seems to be so many settings for this printer and I'm not sure which is best. I usually print using the "Printer" in photoshop or save the image then print it direct using the printer's software. As I said the colour is usually ok but the B&W is more often than not "Oh FFFFFFfffiddlesticks"

In my dreams, 16-50mm, 50-135mm would cover my snapping. Have the Pentax 18-135mm WR, I'd say my most used lens. A Tamron 10-24mm with which I've had some good shots (luck), the Pentax 17-70mm which I should take out more I'm sure, and the 55-300mm which hardly sees daylight but is in my bag just in case (it's light enough not to be a burden). Sold the Sigma 150-500mm it wasn't worth lugging about for the results I got with it so have given up "wildlife" ambitions, although in the right hands seems a cracking lens.

When printing B&W with the ix6550, (and using canon ink) did you have any problems with a magenta cast at all. I'm seriously thinking of binning the ix6550, it's expensive to run but the colour prints don't seem too bad. Haven't had the confidence to send prints away to be printed.

I like these images David with "Pillars and Arches" being my favourite. They do have a look of HDR about them but without the overcooked look.

I like both of these Andrew and had a feeling of deja vu as they look similar to one from a Yorkshire by me visit
