Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your helpful suggestion re downsizing. I will try your method with my 885. Yes, it is a nice camera but I am hoping to get a digital SLR this year (hopefully) to give me a bit more scope. Anyway I am just off on a quick trip up to London with my 885 tomorrow - hope the weather
is good for some travel shots around Kensington.
The magazine is called 'Digital Photo' - out monthly. I can recommend it.

Hello Sylvia. Hmmm... I was just wondering if that same bird will have to carry a torch (or even two in the style of aeroplane navigation lights) when you go back at twilight. :)))
I have the earlier 880 version of the camera you used. I try to take pictures at the highest quality it allows (I bought a 128Mb card that permits 13 shots instead of the 1 shot obtainable with 16Mb card that the camera came with. Files are saved as RAW files and I find that they can then be sampled in PS to the size needed without losing detail. After that they are saved as .jpg with medium to high compression quality (I usually select from7~9).
A magazine? Impressive! :) I hope they publish it. Which one so I can look out for it?
Cheers!
Jeff

Thanks for your comment, jeff. I don't know if the lights are gas or electric but I will make an effort to go there one evening and try for a twilight shot. yes, the judges would like the bird but I have to admit that I added it later to cover a piece of blank sky. Sorry about the small size - I am having some difficulty in sizing down and still keeping the pixels. I find that at 200kbs my pics lose clarity - never used to have this problem with negative and slide pics - only with my digitals. I am working on it!!
When you see it full size the detail is amazing. I have just sent this one off to a magazine.

Hello Sylvia. I love monochrome images and I dearly wanted to make this image larger in order to see it better. Could you repost it at a larger size. :)))
It is a lovely composition and the bird fortuitously occupies the empty space. Camera club judges would love that touch. I really wanted to see the detail of the stuff in the water and the people(?) on the mill. Do you know if the lamps contain gas mantles or are they electric lights? This picture is begging to be taken at dusk to my mind. I liked the reflections that are broken up by stuff in the water too. Nice work!
Cheers!
Jeff
