I used to drink the cider when I was digging in Devon as a student. It cost half the price of beer and was twice as strong. I am glad to say my priorities have changed now...

That's the UK for you. Why do something properly when you can do it badly to save money?

I feel in need of a beer tonight. Should I pick up a bottle of Hobgoblin or a bottle of Crabbie's alcoholic ginger beer on the way home from the office? Oh decisions, decisions...

Congratulations on the new job, and I love the Kelvin-Helmholtz shot. I also love the chap that said:

good photo quality, as I believe it is taken through a window/cockpit. Good observation too.
No s... Sherlock! I never ceased to be amazed at the human ability to state the bleedin' obvious.

Best wishes, Kris.

Description from one of the PPG candidates I just voted on:

"An architecture building structure"

Very helpful.

Who would have thought the fisheye wasn't wide enough!

I agree with the two gentlemen above.

Oh yes, and the second image. With landscapes are you are at the mercy of the weather. If the light is flat and boring you are better off finding something else to do. Ansell Adams used to take his photos first thing and last thing, and then during the middle of the day would put his feet up and read a book. The problem with your second image is that the light is flat, and it is a little hazy.

Sadly, you cannot entirely get away without some PP even if it is just a little sharpening. Digital images are naturally a little soft and either you get the camera to do it "in body" so to speak, or for more control DIY.

I think everyone else has said it so far. The only thing I might add is that for good examples of the text (so that someone could choose a style for example) you might be better off scanning some. For arty attractive images clearly this is the way to go. I like the rose petals idea, helps with DOF a great deal.

I just found out that in Colorado you can get married without anyone officiating and without any witnesses. Ahhhh bliss

Plus the unique AF 35-70 which only works with the ME-F (highly unlikely you'll come across one of those and D-FA lenses which are "optimised" for digital but still cover full frame.
