I can get to .com but not the .co.uk

Thanks John - I agree about best quality. There is a suggestion on the blurb web-site that they may soon be offering books with up to 300 pages so I will wait

Hi John

Do you have any experience with the standard paper in a a blurb book as I was creating my first book and it's around 200 pages (and there is a limit of 160 pages with premium paper). I'm not sure if I should trim the book down or go for standard printing? Appreciate the benefit of your experience here

Apologies for the off topic hijacking but as the blurb topic had come up I thought I should ask here

Apologies if this is a pearoast but as the title says the new latest firmware is now available for the Samsung GX20. I'm sure a few of you have spotted this already.

Think it's the same as the K20D firmware update from a few months back.

I haven't had a chance to install it yet as I'm at work but you can find it here

Thanks for all the comments guys

Hi Pentaxbabe

Thanks for the comments. The giraffe image just seemed to 'come out like that' and I quite liked it so didn't do much tweaking. The lion image was taken in the Lower Zambezi NP and like most of the lions we saw he was just lazing around in the shade!

On the whole I am pleased with the images I got but always welcome suggestions

We stayed in several lodges in each park but I would recommend Lion Camp in South Luangwa as one of the guides there, Patrick Bentley is a professional photographer who does run his own photo safari's. Some of his images are amazing

I would also recommend Kaingo camp, again several of the staff there are photographers which meant they were quite accommodating and they have several temporary hides setup nearby which allows you to get close up to some of the animals.

Both of these camps are close to each other so I would suggest one or the other and then maybe another camp elsewhere in the park (South Luangwa NP is big!).

Hi everyone.

I've been back from Zambia for around 6 weeks now (feels like 6 months!) but I've not had much of a chance to post some images for your perusal.

We were lucky enough to spend 3 days near Victoria Falls, Livingstone before traveling to South Luangwa National Park and then on to the Lower Zambezi National Park.

Hope you like ...

Hi Yves - I'm sorry to hear about your loss, animals are so much more than just pets for many of us and I hope you can take some comfort in knowing that you gave your dog a good and happy life.

Best wishes

GX30 = K7

My GX20 feels 'chunkier' in design than my K10D so hopefully the GX30 will be 'chunker' than the K7. I'm sure that's just wishful thinking though ....

Cloudhunter - your sign in your signature is claiming I'm using Firefox I'm on IE7!

My NAS drive is a Synology DS106. It's just a single hard disk formatted as NTFS (though I believe it does run a Linux OS, though I'm not sure what). It does actually have a Recycle Bin feature that I hadn't enabled. It's the first time I've owned a NAS drive at home and I got this one cheap off ebay, next time I would get the twin HDD version for RAID1.

Active Delete was great and worked 100%, though it's the first and hopefully last time I ever use it. I recommend it as it's straightforward to use and someone who may not be computer literate wouldn't have any problems with it.

I use my NAS as my main source of data as it's shared between my desktop and laptop, I then keep a backup on a second hard disk within the desktop itself. I also have an off-site backup. As I work in IT I get a bit paranoid about losing data as I've come a cropper myself in the past
