Hi Owen and welcome to here

Congratulations Korky, 'tis a beautiful and worthy photo

Back at you Tina, I hope it's been a good'un for you

Red Arrows, Biggin Hill 75th Aniversary of the Battle of Britain.....

Merry Christmas folks

I 'extremely disliked' school assembly at secondary-school too, mainly because any kid who was considered good enough was press-ganged into the school-opera.... It was a different opera each year but always Gilbert-&-Sullivan (), I was a pirate in the Pirates of Penzance for the 1st year, then I 'lost' my voice from there on.

Primary school was a bit more enjoyable, we didn't have morning assemblies, but we did have singing-classes, mostly hymns as it was a convent-school (Catholic) but the nuns also taught us folk-songs too if we behaved.

I've always enjoyed singing though, but I found it really difficult to sing and play guitar (or keyboards) simultaneously.  Unfortunately COPD has now stopped me, I just haven't got the wind for it any more.

Beautiful, just beautiful

If you get better access to areas from working with these folks, then I'd seriously consider the idea.  You'd also need to consider things like copyright on the pics (are they yours or theirs), but it will be excellent practice for taking your skills to the next level, especially with a better camera.  It could also be a good 'jump-off' point for getting your photos to a wider audience.

I do hope they use a grammar and spell-checker though, when doing the write-ups for publication

I'd say you got a good bargain with that lens BP, a great shot

Now that is absolutely brilliant!  I could hear the Lancashire/Yorkshire accent as I was reading it, Mrs WereBo (a Rotherham lass) loved it too - All you need now is to set it to music and it'lll be a reet good'un

Congratulations Brian

Back home with a bump indeed, that's the only thing I eeeaaally dislike about holidays, coming back to this corner of London.... - Glad you got home safe Korky

Yep, if they can't live within 'Society', then they need to be removed from society's presence, in such a way that they can never cause harm to society again.

Good one Fuji

@CoIinb - I suspect you could make a few bob selling them to the aircrew, evem more if used for publicity

............. it is a very easy place to get the bird pictures, because they seem to 'take advantage' of visiting campers and caravanners.............

That seems fair enough, in today's political and social 'climate', why shoudn't they get paid for posing?

A beautiful set of memories Kobione, there's a lot of wall-hangers there

I like her ending comment

Who decides what’s hackneyed and what’s original? And what if it’s original but we simply don’t like it? It doesn’t move us, it’s gratuitous - different for difference’s sake…

Everything about 'Autumnal mists' in 1 piccie.... A superb photo Terry, I'm officially envious now

From one newbie to the next, welcome AnnieMarie you've found a great place to pick up ideas....

Decay=life=decay....

I noticed this baby mushroom this morning, whilst checking over my balcony's planters and boxes.....

An old scan of an early 90's photo, taken on my Practika BX20 - It was my 1st serious 'expedition' with the new camera (I'd just upgraded from the Practika BMS)  at 'The Hawk Conservancy' just outside Andover.  I got through 6 rolls (36) colour and 6 rolls (36) B+W.......

Another 6" left and I can get 'im, right up his nose.....

It's all a plot by the power generation companies. what the turbines are really doing is making wind by sucking out electricity from the grid. 

There's a far easier way to make wind, just fit exhaust-pipes to the houses parliament.....
