Wow - more money than sense!
What do you get paid for running this website? - only joking

Kodak 250DC (I think), only basic, but very good results
Let me know if you want examples

You are all showing off now!!

How do you get a picture on the message board?

And even more spooky - how do you take a picture of your camera?

Coach: When you post a message there are a number of little buttons above the text box that allow you to format your message:

B - Bold text
I - Italics
U - Underline
etc.

There is also one called IMG. Click that and it allows you to enter the url of a picture on the web (which incidentally you can find if you look for the picture you want to include, right click on it and choose properties - it will show you the web location of the picture)

Prefer to use traditional 35mm. Have Canon EOS 100 and EOS 30 SLR's, Konica idiot camera and my nearly antique Rollei 35B (find a picture of that on the web). At the moment digital cameras are not up to the quality of traditional film and unless you have £2000 plus you have not got the flexibility of an SLR. You need to control exposure especially with swimming photos. :D

Hope you have all registered your cameras in the ASA Photographic Log!
