That would have been fantastic!

Cheese-maker warned over hill roll competition: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22664900

The only mandatory fields should be: new email address password If there are more than that, it's not a solution as such. In fact I make a point of never using the same password on more than a...

That's very odd. I've changed mine several times in the past, but it looks like its no longer possible. I suggest sending a message via the "Feedback" link at the bottom of the page.

Geographically it is. That little bit of water separating us from the other countries is a trivial matter, up until a few thousand years ago it was possible to walk all the way, and what is now the...

Although there may be photographs taken without any particular thought, it's also possible that much thought was give to the composition, but it happens not to correspond with someone else's...

I don't think that's what is being said. A lens hood can offer substantial protection against mechanical knocks and bumps. Just as motor-cars are designed with a crumple-zone which is designed to...

I actually didn't see or hear her performance. But up against an attractive 20 year old it may nave been hard to compete regardless of the song itself.

Echoes of a plot from "Father Ted" here. :)

The way to look at this is a practical one. The filter is good protection against certain hazards, these include spray from the sea or other airborne substances The second is protection against...

In Britain we tend to regard it as a bunch of silliness, not to be taken seriously. However, in some of the other countries, particularly those who have more recently been embraced as part of...

I think it can be argued that when digital zoom is used, the camera will focus and expose based upon the area within the frame. That could give slightly different results than the focus and...

O Pretty much useless? This part I don't understand. Some time ago I created a gallery of shots which had all been edited with PSP 7 (which doesn't preserve EXIF) to show some examples of the...

For some topics it can be a good starting point. For example, the coverage of the subject of diffraction (which is of interest in photography) is reasonable. But in other areas there are articles...

That's a positive sign. It shows the other forums are being used for the correct purpose, and irrelevant stuff is mostly contained within the OT forum. From DPR business point of view, the forums...

Why? Because the quota is not the amount of disk space used. It's the amount of bandwidth consumed during the upload process. The latter figure can never go down, once you used it, it stays used. ...

What bugs me is when someone goes to the trouble of typing a different subject in the heading box, but precedes it with re: That has me scanning all the previous posts to see what it's a reply to....

Well, it's not just a matter of "correct". There are idiomatic usages in English which can be incomprehensible to a foreigner. For example the term "cold shoulder". But there are others where the...
