Thanks Stevie. I don’t think such exposures would result in enough heat to actually damage the sensor, otherwise digital cameras would be entirely unfit for purpose.

I got it wrong actually. I found the arcticle and the concerns where fog and battery drain.

I’ll just have to try it and see.

Particularly like the second one, Steve.

Do long exposures on a digital camera damage the sensor, though? I was reading on another forum that the sensor overheats after a while (and I can’t remember where I read it – might have ben on the Flikr Nikon Goup)

Always a pleasure to look at your portaits, Simon.

But where are the other 8?

I think the RPS class landscapes as Visual Art

As an add on to my last post (and I don’t want to seem contentious – it’s my age!), but to me the Olympus always seems to be synonymous with David Bailey. I remember the adverts in Amateur Photographer as a kid – David Bailey and his Olympus Trip, although I bet he really used an Olympus OM1.
A lot later I got an OM10 – and it is good. Lots of good lenses and accessories at a good price, and to be honest I feel I have a lot more control over photographs with the film camera than the D40.
But I do like the immediacy with digital.
But I ramble and digress! Sorry

In those days – Canon was for the hobbyist.

I’ve got one! (An OM10) There’s a PDF manual online somewhere. I’ll post a link if I ever find it again!

Thanks for the help and advice.

To answer my second question – no – Olympus lenses don’t fit and can’t be adapted to fit a D40.
So Q3. – Can Nikon SLR lenses be adapted for use on a D40?

Thanks again for all the advice. I ordered a card reader from http://www.memorybits.co.uk – it’ll read sdhc cards, too, so I hope it’s what I needed.

Thanks a lot for the input.
I haven’t actually connected my camera to the computer yet – just in case, but it sounds as if the wizard will do everything I want it to do.
I agree with what you’re saying about the imaging software included as a package can be a bit rubbish sometimes. I had one with a scanner, and one with the Fuji camera I used to have – I just want to move the images from the camera to the computer, but the manual makes it sound as if you HAVE to use the software.
The scanner still annoys me – I can use the wizard to scan prints on XP, but have to connect it to my older PC (windows 98 ) if I want to scan slides or negs.
Thanks again for everyone’s help.

Mark Boyle did a piece in the Seventies, called ‘Journey to the Surface of the Earth’.

This is the intent.

Here’s some images.

Basically he wanted to document the earth’s surface by making metre square castings of parts of the earth.
I quite like Pete’s photograph, as it reminds me so much of this.

it could be a good photographic project.
