Thanks all. K.

The copipod is great because it is small and light. You do need a firm surface to put it on, and make sure you use a remote and the delay. I've happily copied A4 pages that way.

The copystand approach would be less fiddly as it would be sturdier, and if you get a good one would have lights too (mine does). BUT, it takes up an awful lot of room.

There are smaller copystands that fold into a box. I have a Pentax one, probably from the 1960s, but they are hard to find.

With all three approaches the best thing to do is to sort your images into sizes. Set-up for one size, photograph the lot quickly, set-up for the next and so on. Zooming in and out for every image will slow you down no end.

Good luck, Kris.

Some stunning images there. I think No. 4 is my favourite as it has a slightly unusual composition and I love the colour palette. I'd probably pick another one tomorrow...

I remember visiting the area when I was an undergraduate over thirty years ago, but have never had the chance since. I ought to get back!

Cheers, Kris.

Euromillions would be nice. I could finally get that A*1200 I really don't need...

Funnily enough, my wife said the exact same thing...

Definitely not pointless but this seemed the best thread to mention it in. Yes, very chuffed. Selfie might have to wait a few months until it is released!

I was just feeling pleased that my "rooty fisheye" image was doing well in the photo competition. Nice to see a monochrome film image standing-up well.

Thanks all. Now back to work...

Luton Airport... (said in the appropriate accent).

Once you remember to treat the Q-S1 as you would a bigger camera, it can deliver some nice images. My mistake earlier on was turning off my tog brain and forgetting to check settings etc.

I'm a bit speechless... I've just won a copy of the new dSLR (when it comes out) in the US Fora's Grand Raffle. I can safely say that this is the first time I have won something in a raffle that is really worth having.

Yay! K.

Most probably.
