Odds and ends

I just wanted to say that I’ve been seriously impressed by the caliber of photos submitted to our reader portfolio group on Flickr – there is some absolutely stunning work in there, so well done! Please keep up the good work everybody, and keep the contributions coming. If you haven’t already checked out the pool, I highly recommend a look – and with the objective of this site and its various tentacles being learning, please feel free to leave constructive comments and criticism on the images, too.

Secondly, my favorite cheap CSC appears to be on sale at Amazon – the Olympus E-PM1 Pen Mini with 14-42 kit lens is now US$399 in black and silver, as opposed to US$499 for the other colors. Click here for black and here for silver**.

Finally, a gentle reminder to enter the competition – there are plenty of great photos in the reader flickr pool that would qualify, but they’re not entered! (hint hint.)

**As usual, ordering via these referral links doesn’t cost you any more, but it does help support the site as Amazon sends a portion of your purchase back to me.
