I would - but I've had a hairy face for years :-) I shaved it off once and it grew back white - I was really impressed :-)

I've seen pics from car dealerships etc in the closed zone, brand new cars left in place in the showrooms when it was evacuated - 1974 Toyota Celicas spring to mind - really sad to think of all those lives uprooted

All my thoughts are with you, sending positive thoughts, hope your back up and running, so to speak, as quickly as possible. All you can do is trust in the medics and follow the instructions they give. If positive thoughts could guarantee the outcome then you'd be sorted :-)

Hello, welcome in

Excellent, well done. Sounds like a decent foot in the door

better than mine :-)

Welcome - look forward to seeing your shots - I lived in Leicester for 17 years, spent a lot of time out in the county on the motorbike, still go to see friends in Market Harborough regularly regularly

Hence I suspect I've misunderstood :-)

Ha, I've been out tonight having a first go with an IR filter. Shame I have no clue what I'm doing - hopefully I'll start learning :-) My first go -

Welcome and enjoy

fingers crossed its each other ;-)

I love shooting, but I hate shooting things for the "sport" If you're shooting to feed yourself fair enough, but not just to kill stuff - I think he's right, and I'd sign the petition, if there was one (I'll also say that the French will blast away at anything)

Welcome in - I'm fond of a landscape, look forward to seeing some of yours

Its the last Hurricane ever built, Tail number PZ865 - belongs to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight - http://www.raf.mod.uk/bbmf/theaircraft/hurricanepz865.cfm

Brilliant, it really is an incredible story - Would the publisher not like to get you all together in one place for a photo? ;-)

Hello and have fun

shall have a look, thanks Was going to start at about 60 seconds, shall double that as a starting point then

I use something similar - a right mess on but the camera stays dry

I've been computerless for about a week after the new desktop threw a wobbly and refused to start, have finally resorted to the old laptop! Whilst in exile I have "accidentally" acquired a Hoya R72 infrared filter, all I need to do now is learn how to use it and get the computer back so I can edit the raw files Has anyone had a play with this type of thing? I think there is going to be a fair amount of trial and error involved, but thats all part of the fun - probably! Shall post some if I get a result - or perhaps even if I dont :-)

and the shutter noise is lovely :-)

I bought a 40D a while back - I use it more than the 500D, like it a lot. lots of camera for the money, more weatherproof than the 1000d

Welcome, look forward to seeing your work

Welcome from the bleak north :-) look forward to seeing some pictures

frustrating, a friend of mine always replies that he could get the image with any camera (and he's proved it when challenged, which made me laugh)

A photo from my phone, just after the event. Happy to take it, sorry it happened, I ache like something not right and have some pretty spectacular bruises Rode the bike home though! Shame the helmet was new :-) Click image to view large
