Sorry but I like things spelt out in words of one syllable and I always RTFM when I buy some new toy - which most men don't. That's why I get so annoyed with Richard, after three years he still doesn't know how to do the most basic things on his posh camera - total waste of money if you ask me.

I have to admit....I only refer to the manual when there is something I either don't know how to do...or have done so infrequently, that I have forgotten.
It is much more fun to fly by the seat of your pants......I have heard it called 'errorful learning'...you learn by your mistakes.

Anyway, the manual is so long winded!

Hey Mick, I'd like to enter the competition, but I can't find a link to my cameras shutter button.

Sorry Mick no offence meant, I was having an off day yesterday. I knew the previous comps were in the gallery, my brain just wouldn't go any further.

Anyway thanks for setting it up, hope it's a success.

Just fill in the boxes on the screen that appears after you click upload photos, that's the easy bit, finding that screen was what I found difficult (see my earlier posts ). Then click the button to upload the photo from your computer. Unlike posting in threads it appears you don't have to worry about file size when posting your pic which makes a nice change.
Good luck!

It may be an idea to ask for photos outside of the photo section as not everyone contributes or knows about this section.
I cant do this myself as it would look like I was touting for votes.

I also noticed that the number voting was small although the number of times a photo has been viewed can be high, as a new contributer I don't know if this is the "norm".

[Margaret Pilkington]

I think that maybe some people wait until the date for uploads passes before making a vote.......thinking someone might upload something they like better...you can change your vote at any time...but maybe they don't realise this.

How about a voucher for Jessops?

Soon there are going to be no dedicated camera shops....we'll have to deal with the lumpen dullards who staff Currys and PC World.
