    Has anyone actually photographed a ghosty

    Did you use flash? I have seen flash do that sort of thing when it reflects back off somthing floating in the air. Wind blow seed or insec ts even.

    Swan photo! Taken today.

    Nice photograph. Like the way you caught the curve on the wing tips. Nice and sharp too. Should be easy to remove the marks using a photo editing package.

    Disabled Perching sticker wanted!

    Nice shots. We had a one legged tit come to our feeder about a year ago. He was small and scruffy but he could fight his corner. In fact he looked exactly like this one.

    Can anyone recommend a template for a photo website?

    If your ISP gives you MySQL on your site, try Coppermine. It is free, but takes a little setting up, but once it is up and running uploading images is easy Get it here

    Photographing the police and the public, is it allowed?

    I got stopped from taking photographs in an "exclusive" precinct in Edinburgh by an over zealous security guard. I apologised and put my camera away and that was that. IMHO that is the best thing to do - be polite and stop, don't argue. There is always another day.

    Why is there a Nikon/Canon debate?

    A lot of it comes down to feel. When I started with Nikon, it was film and the reason I chose it was that it felt more comfortable in my hand. The grip on the side of the camera was wider and I felt I had a better grip. That was a Nikon F90. Didn't get a Nikon digital but instead got the...
