When I turned on the TV that night I had found it had turned all the colours around and people were green. This Picture was shot on a much slower shutter speed and lower ISO with a longer shutter speed; you can see the movement in the clouds. f/4.5 ISO 200 with a 30 second exposure time. It was travelling at quite a pace too. The settings I used for the longer distance shots were f/7.1, ISO200 on a 30 second exposure time. Another setting to try is a good one for dark nights and lots of storm... f/8 ISO 125 and an exposure time of 6 seconds. This is especially good for shots over water as it shows light on the water too. At the end of the day capturing lightning is far easier than people think; all you really need to do is just count. This shot was taken again on a different setting due to it being closer f/36, ISO 6400, Exposure time of 4 seconds. Just play with settings and you can get the results as long as you can count. Be safe and enjoy trying this method. It is a wonderful thing when you get to capture probably the most wild and unpredictable creature in nature. There is always counting to tame the beast for you to capture on camera Paul Welch Reviews of Older Equipment We often see reviews on new equipment which is all very nice if that is what you are buying. But how many do you see in retrospect on the equipment you actually buy? Many of us buy second hand, so wouldn't it be good to see reviews written on things that people have been using and can advise you on things like reliability in different climates and over extended usage, rather than just those bench test reviews on the new items. It is not hard to do, just tell us what the equipment is and how easy or otherwise it is to use. Add a few pictures of the item, or taken with the camera. We can do the rest. If you have managed to read this far then you will have already seen the one completed for the Pentax K10D. It may not be perfect but I have no doubt that these reviews will improve. Fact is that while I know how to use the camera for my purposes, I am not always that good at writing it down. Enter the teachers comments, “Must Try Harder”.

Cycling in Cuba Tina Andreasson Tina is also an artist and her Artworks can be found on her website at www.gallerytina.com As the leaves slowly start falling off the trees and the wind has gained the chill of autumn, I am yet again filled with a wanderlust stronger than R Kelly's belief that he can fly. From the album "Monochrome Misery" Knowing myself, I decided to book in a trip to look forward to a long time ago already, and so made plans to fly over to Cuba to explore the island by cycling. With the 2.5 months ahead I was planning to get really fit for this challenge, but ended up really ill with pleurisy, a busted rib through coughing, and THEN I got a cold... So for TWO whole MONTHS I was unable to voluntarily break a sweat by any sort of physical activity other than by trying to cough out a lung, possibly followed by a liver, a kidney or two, perhaps even a gluteus maximus finally topped off with a calf muscle. Let's just hope it's not too hilly... Besides cycling, I intend to take some amazing photos, drink some mojitos, puff on the odd cigar, and swing my hips to some hot salsa rhythms! I'm leaving on my own but am sure I'll meet lots of cool people along the way, and if I don't it doesn't matter as long as I don't meet jerks... So with a suitcase containing (amongst other things) a helmet, cycling gloves, pretty dresses and padded-ass-pants, I am ready for Cuba! Having spent endless hours on flights I've learned a thing or two that I'd like to share... 1 - If you need to bend over to pick something up for any reason, try to keep in mind where your butt ends up. For example, if you're a tall person bending over in the aisle in front of a short person, what may be used as a possibly good neck rest will be shoved too close for comfort on the wrong side of the head of the short person, leaving him or her cross-eyed... If you're looking for a rolling little sod of a battery (taking for ever), shorties eyes just may get stuck. 2 - Please be careful using the touch screen, especially for games requiring repetitive pressing, especially if you're a giant muscled man who frequently ends up crushing every kitten you simply mean to hug, then end up sucking all its fur off as you catch your breath in shock, as the realisation of your unintentional deed hits you... 3 - When you get up to go somewhere, please be careful if you use the seat in front of you to pull yourself up. If too much force is used you may end up catapulting that passenger all the way to your destination with an arrival time far better than your own! I was pretty lucky on this flight, none of the above, and my surrounding passengers were a big group of deaf people. I've never sleapt so well on a plane before despite them all "chattering" away... I've just finished breakfast at the roof-top of the hotel as the sun started rising over Havana. Now I'm ready to go out and play! As the first rays of light started colouring in the bright and cheerful buildings of Havana, and the city's colorful and friendly inhabitants started getting about their usual business, I set off to lose myself in the many streets and alleys with my camera.
