OK, I'm a bit thick, but I reread the thread but can not figure out the assignment for this week.

I don't know that anything was officially decided, but I'm pretty sure we're going with night shots this week.

Found it! I have an old Pentax A3000. Anyone know where I can "acquire" a manual?

I wish I could buy a digital back for my 35mm cameras; pop it in place, shoot a bunch, pull it out and plug in the ol' USB...

Pappy cleaned up the Fujo S602 and charged some batteries for me, so now I have two cameras with which to take rubbish shots! Smile

I just wish Olypus hadn't been and changed all the fittings so you can't use the SLR lenses on DSLRs. Then my dad would have bought an Olympus DSLR and I would have millions of shiny toys for taking pictures.

You are a Leprechaun. I'm not even sure what you are. Whiskey-soaked reports from your baffling Isle of Ire raise more questions than they answer. Are you a dwarf? Where's your pickax? If you're an elf, why don't you cobble? You'd think with all your gold, you could invest in some land, perhaps a title, and improve your station. Instead, you hide it in meteorologically-determined locations. You're getting killed on inflation, little friend!

That's doubtful. Nikon is notorious for changing their lens mount designs frequently.

I decided to see whether my OM-10 is really as dead as I've been considering it of late -- I really ought to send it off to have it cleaned up - it's a hurting unit right now from neglect, but I used to love the thing.

I ordered a bunch of film from amazon and started a snapfish account; we'll see what comes back from my first roll or two.

Ok, as punk and Domi know, the view out the back is not actually attractive. But you can make it look impressively fairytale in the dark:





Also you can do fun things with doors:




There are many more interesting views to be had out on the main road, but my SLR tripod in 'brace from shoulder' mode looks alarmingly like a rifle stock and I live beside a police station. I would totally get arrested.

Also, click the picture for the (huge) original size.

I argued myself into going out and trying one more time.





I think the "fairy footsteps" in the street are just lens flare from my UV filter.
