True, Peter. There were never ending talks on the same topic as everyone is trying to be a triumph in the area of "I mentioned this first" mentality.

Seriously, looking through people's photographs give inspiration. I love the idea of browsing through images looking for ideas.

That is what codiac2000 loves to do. He is coming up with new ideas everyday and I really envy that spirit.

These days, joining the discussion about hot pixel is just simply futile. Doom sayers will make up whatever they want to believe anyway and a few hot pixels is really not a problem for most photographers.

p.s. I am the longest surviving member that could still participate the SLR lens forum from time to time. Most of the people who joined the forum at the beginning of pentaxforums are already hibernating and lurking in dark!

Thanks James. Hey it's a team effort. I just sometimes get a little tired of the BF/FF/AF/High ISO/Dead pixels whatever talk. Those threads are getting too much sometimes and I'd rather see the great shots most of us are taking. I notice that's what you comment on most of the time as well.

Peter, great to see a few of mini-events coming to live. You initiated many of the activities in this forum. Without you pulling strings, this would not have happened!
