Sounds like a nice flash Don. I received my Sony HVL-F20AM flash from Hong Kong yesterday, as I expected excellent speedy delivery. Can I ask who you used? Was it chrisman2882? Did you get stung for the import tax or did they mis-value the package to avoid it?! Yes Paul, that was the place and no i...

Don, I must say I agree with you on your list of bad ideas. Let's just hope Sony wake up soon.

Sounds like a nice flash Don. I received my Sony HVL-F20AM flash from Hong Kong yesterday, as I expected excellent speedy delivery. Flash comes with a little drawstring bag to keep it in, though it is so small it could go in a pocket in the camera bag or shirt. Triggers my old Minolta 3600HS-D flash...

I have ordered the HVL-F20AM from Hong Kong on eBay. Hopefully here by end of next week, usually HK is as fast as some UK suppliers! (and it was £85).

Not seriously, only on the EeePC for checking that I have backed up my files to the portable HD when away from home. I hope to replace that with an Apple MacBook Pro 13" soon however, then I can run Aperture.

I have also been in touch with the council and the farmer about these giant hogweed plants - unfortunately they don't seem that concerned. I have sprayed them in the past but they keep coming back and are spreading. The farmer just cut them down, spreading the seeds about. The council did spray them...

Sorry to hear about that David, hope you will make a full recovery soon.

We have giant hogweed in the field beside us and I know how dangerous that can be, it sensitises the skin to sunlight and causes burns.

I will look up Euphorbia and make sure we don't have any just in case.

Any news when the 20AM will be available in the UK?

Welcome back David - it seems hotter here than it was in the Middle East in May

David, maybe after you get home and have a chance to review your Venice photos some more you may find that you like some of them a lot more than when you saw them the first time. When I get home from a trip and start reviewing mine I always have such a feeling of disappointment in my shots. Then la...

The conditions are like that shot generally. Of course, it would be no use as a stock pic, which is our purpose when shooting generally - the gondola is empty. He's not got any tourists on board. Therefore, not usable for mags, guide books, or anything much! I got a good one today, can't post it (n...

I don't have a scanner at the moment, but in amongst them is a self-portrait I don't remember taking which was pretty good for a 15-year-old, using a large piece of mirror or maybe glass (could be greenhouse glazing) in an outdoor scene to frame me shooting the pic as a mini-photo in the view. Davi...

Hi Yildiz, The tourist policeman at first said he would show us the best place to take photos and then started to take us to 2 other nearby Mosques, despite us saying that we only had 2 minutes before the bus left. I then realised that he was after some small compensation, and I didn't have any mone...

I really like the galleries David, especially Petra and the flower pictures. The tonality and the micro-detail in the shots give a 3D feel to many (I'd almost convinced myself I didn't need an A900 - now I'm not so sure) Please let us know when you have some more images up. Paul Thanks Paul. I gues...

it's interesting the story about people hiding from the A900. I've been hearing a lot of this sort of thing recently on the forums and about other restrictions, maybe there is somethig to this "smaller is better " push. I Really liked going through your gallery. is there more to come from...
