Sorry about your lost weekend Kobione The absolute joys of owning a Land Rover product eh?  

I know from first hand experience, I have had five of them

Superb image, 'nuff said

The next town south of you Pete ,and very impressive portfolio of work you have. One that I am unable to match thats for sure!

Hello Pete,

I'm very close to you location wise, welcome to the forum

If possible I would like to attend, and most likely will do if the chosen date is convenient.

I'm away in  Normandy 3-9th  October, we are booking a mini cruise in June or July, apart from that, if i can I will be there.

Simply superb, well done

I had Gimp but really struggled to use it.... yes I am quite thick I couldnt understood even a fraction of the terminology, let alone use it.  

I will stick to making just small corrections in Paint.net and FastStone.

A shock to the system? no JohnP, a tonic for the heart and mind!

Well deserved and a very well caught image..congrats

A brilliant photograph NF, congratulations, its a stunner!

I see fires in the country park near Werribee and Hoppers crossing. Thats where the wifes sister and family are. But as she has not phoned, then all is OK.

Glad my Daughter moved back to the UK last year!

Hello & welcome, a rank amateur here, but looking forward to seeing your images!

First class choice for a first class photograph, congrats again Mr B :yes

:respect:

Well deserved Lee,

I've missed many posts this week due to other things going on, this amongst them!

I was 9 years old in 1963, and we lived in a small tied cottage In north Hertfordshire We woke up one morning to a drift that reached to the window sill....of the upstairs windows. I remember dad having to dig a tunnel from the back door up to the outhouse where the toilet was, taking the dug snow through the house to the front door, as it was only four foot deep out the front!

I also remember seeing my first Helicopter that landed in the village. This had airlifted in milk and bread after three days as we were cut off. The remnants of the drifted snow hung around until early May against sheltered walls and hedgerows. I do remember the bitter cold and the shortage of everything.

I much prefer an ambient temperature of about 20º for my summer warmth. I too dislike very hot days, and couldnt think of having to live in temperatures at present in Australia, but can tolerate the cold quite easily.

I can always keep warm in winter, but never keep cool enough for summer. The secret of winter weather is to dress for it, nothing pleases me more than walking in the snow or rain. No one else about to get in your way! I was out walking yesterday afternoon when the snow was coming sideways across the fields. I shall be going out for a three to five mile walk in about ten minutes too...luvverly :)

Congrats Lee!

Unfortunately, I spend all my time wondering what is around the corner. My current job being connected to the construction industry. Mrs Chronikon has had her job downgraded four times now, and is on just half the money she earned previously. Staring 60 in the face with an endowment mortgage that failed, does not give you any great outlook on prospects!

I really do hope something can be salvaged from your predicament BP, I will wish you well, along with the rest of the board.

Crap.....I have just read the BBC news webpage, So sorry BP

Ta chaps!

Good luck mate,

We had a power failure here for a few hours on the 29th Dec, being without the internet for just those hours was...harrowing! Good grief, I didnt realise just how much I rely on being connected, or comes to that having basic electricity!

If water gets in BT's equipment, surely thats their fault!

Can someone please tell me if this is suitable for my D3000?

I'm getting confused by the several different types of 50mm lenses available, one of these is up for sale locally and is quite cheap considering!

Best wishes, keep safe.

Liked it when It was first posted, love it now!

Well done!

A fascinating set of articles for which i for one thank you.

I am 'in the market' for either a secondhand 35 0r 50mm prime lens for my D3000, I understand there are one or two different ones to obtain.Although, I am quite happy with my 18-55 kit lens for the Nikon, being this is my first dslr type camera, it will probably have to do me for quite a few years as cash is tight all round. I would like a 50mm for general work though,and the bonus of it being a tad faster,
