My feet are killing me! Let me tell those who ever wondered what it is like to stand for 5 hours straight, -it's hard. I was dying to sit down and have a cup of coffee and a footbath. Had a ten minute break, that's all

It went just great! The first day was the worst actually, after that it was smooth sailing. But like mentioned earlier, it's tough to stand around and be polite for hours on end with only few breaks. But like Schlaggy said, try and sit down for a minute. You may not get up again:) Next month I'm there through 3 Oslo Horse shows, Slipknot/Slayer-concert, Anastacia, Nordic Music Awards I and II, and Sting. Hopefully something that makes it worth getting sore feet for!

And I would love to go to Roma, for whatever reason:)
I don't think my camera is so great on bulb-exposure (???) Yup that's right, I'm also reading manuals! I love night pics tho. Please post some links!

I can't recommend any special book, mainly because I never read any on Photoshop. I learned the natural way, by being given tasks, and finding solutions. Also I attended courses, which is a good way to learn, if you can afford it. I never paid for those myself, they were always sponsored by our employer, and specially designed for our work-group and our needs.
However, there's plenty about photoshop and picture-editing on the net. I'm forwarding some emails to you as I write, so you can go see for yourself.
Hope you find something interesting.

There will always be a certain amount of "feeling your way" through the process of photo-editing. If you give the same (bad) photo to 50 people and asked them to make the best possible result out of it, you would probably end up with 50 different results. It's always a matter of taste, and knowledge. And it also depends what you're using it for. Is it printed media, or the internet? Big pics, small pics? What kind of paper, and what media? With printed media, there are rules, of course, and also a great dependency on ICC-profiles, calibration of monitor etc. U need to get the colors as right as possible. I have used photoshop since the 3 version, and I think I will always keep learning. So you just start practicing, and you'll get the hang of it eventually. Play around, and find yourself some exercises to go through.
