They're Lithium aren't they? I don't know how reliable this source is, but http://www.mpoweruk.com/lithiumS.htm claims ... "No liquid electrolyte means they are immune from leaking." So leaky third party batteries is another made up internet "fact" ;) Over a similar timeframe, I've had...

I love my Desire. I chose it over the Galaxy simply on price though. The Galaxy has a slightly bigger and possibly slightly better screen, plus a lot more built in memory. The Desire is built better and of course has that lovely Sense UI. The only issue I have is that I run out of internal...

Again, I'm really not bothered about getting paid here ... which makes it worse really! The whole issue started from an email in which I simply asked for credit. Adding my name below the photo would have taken care of it, but it seems that was too much to ask. I resize my images to 604 on...

That's where the trouble started ... I sent a friend request - she accepted, stole my photo, then deleted me ... lol!

I really don't like watermarks - I think they ruin my work. Again, I'm not the one doing wrong so why should I have to suffer? I'm not interested in getting any money out of her either. All I want is credit for my work. I'm just really pee'd off at her response to my request for credit. I...

I put my stuff on FB to share with my friends. I shouldn't have to stop doing that for any reason - I'm not the one breaking the law.

Well, it finally happened to me. A photo of Sir Stirling Moss I took at Outon Park has been lifted from my Facebook page and used on Ruth's Racy Adventures. I sent a message asking for credit and received a rather rude response telling me to "save your drama for somebody who knows who you...

I use a 50/50 mix of suet & lard, add a load of peanut butter and then as much seed as the mix will take. They disappear a lot faster than any pre-made ones I've ever tried :)

Ooh I really like those, thanks for picking them out. Somebody dropped a comment about there being no such thing as artistic mis-focus. I deliberately mis-focus all the time. Maybe that makes me crazy but at least now I know I'm not alone :)

Sorry, didn't realise there was a deadline! ;) What with going back to work on Tuesday, and making sure all my backups are up to date due to one of my disks starting to show signs of failure, I've barely started sorting out the keepers. If you're (un?)lucky I might get something posted before...

Well done! I love The Big Picture. Always top quality photography on there and I was pleasantly surprised to see Liverpool mentioned. Even better that it's Pete.

Metering will work fine on a Canon body.

Sorry Matt, not been online much today. Have sent some instructions to help you get started uploading files with ftp, and how to install Gallery. Sounds scary but it's all pretty straightforward.

Good luck Matt and Jake. Really hope this takes off for you.

Not that old manual glass is likely to be a selling point, but ... Canon cameras don't work with old manual focus Canon lenses (there is an adapter available but it isn't cheap and adds another piece of glass to the equation to achieve infinity focus, so I wouldn't bother). Canon cameras...
