Gosh, just goes to show that huge numbers of megapixels are not everything... The Fuji S3 I started with (as a DSLR) only boasts 6 mp x2 because it has two lots of pixels, one for shadows, one for highlights. Even with this I rarely used the camera on maximum pixel recording because it just...

Good point! It's a while since I updated the S3s or S5, so I checked but they're actually still up to date. The wife's 20D isn't though, so I shall be updating it forthwith. Thanks for the reminder

Incidentally, a long lens gives reduced depth of field. Wide angle lenses have enormous depth of field and long telephotos virtually none, so with a zoom, if you want depth of field use the short end of the range and if you want 'differential focus' to pick out a flower or person against a...

Exposure is produced by a combination of shutter speed and aperture at a given ISO setting. Shutter speed governs how long the sensor is exposed to light and aperture governs how much light it is exposed to during that period. Traditionally, both are graduated in 'stops' and a stop gives half...

There's more than an element of truth in the article but I do think it's a little misleading. Anywhere between (in 35mm terms) 85 and 120mm is suitable for portraits because if you frame in a normal way, with a tight headshot or head and shoulders, you will get a natural, pleasing, flattering...

The guy I thought was Pete Sinclair is Nick Blandford 3rd in top right is Roger James

The guy I thought was Pete Sinclair is actually Nick Blandford, so that's ony one missing name now!

Sorry to be awkward but I think 'Pete Sinclair' is actually Nick Blandford, which would tie in with the sports teams - Pete Sinclair was more brainy than sporty and went into medicine.

If John Pollard is to be believed, that's Dave Kitchen top right...

Roger James next to Mike Green...

Peter Millar between Roger Matthews and Alan Reynolds

Really? I lived there for a short while myself after my Father re-married and before we all moved to Mousehole (Me, Father, step-mother and step-brother Martyn Guest).

Extreme left is Nicky Ridge. 2nd from left is Dave Barnes. 3rd from left is Henry Preston. 4th from left is John Goody. 5th from left must be, I think, Jeremy Ridge, Digby's look-alike younger brother, as I'm pretty sure Digby would have left by then. Between Alan Reynolds and Malcolm Woolcock...
