I am a bit skint now after my holiday, but if these are still around in a month or so I think I'll give one a shot. what do you think?

nah not at all, I have not stopped togging, just stopped posting stuff online

sorry I have barely been on here lately, had a niggle in the back of my mind but it's not something someone had done here just generally not wanted to post anything.... then I had a holiday in Devon which was brilliant, even the rainy days . sadly I'm back to work tomorrow  

so I'll try and get beck into posting stuff here, I have some nice milky water to post  

HI

I hardly come on these days but HELLO!!

this looks like it could be fun....

they are brill.... click below to see mine in action!!

i have been to 2 clubs... I just don't get them, then again I was the youngest (39) by about 50 years.... seeing a man trying to use a 4/3rds canera with a monopod inside taking macro shots through the screen on the back was quite amusing.

then there was the "all the gear no idea" clan

then the" spray and prayers"  (they also cross over to the above.)

then the "I'll edit it so much you can no longer see what it is" group

then the "professionals" who look down there nose at all the other minions in the club room.

my only good experience was getting to use the studio lighting, i was thinking of joining just to use it for my own pleasure.....

I got a message today from my local track asking me to share my photo's, we got onto the subject of media access.

last year they point blank refused, this year I think they realise they need people like me as much as I need them, the only thing I need is £5M Public liability insurance.

as a NON professional can I get this?  and how much does it cost?

thanks, Leon

welcome

hello and welcome...... you say when I grow up?... how young are you?

​not my idea   I was told that was the ONLY place available, so I did what I could...

this young lady is 101 years old!!!   

not the one in the superwoman outfit

as for lighting ect.... a NON TTL flash and not much room made it difficult the backdrop/banner was in a doorway!, all images are generally going to be viewed on websites so they are happy with the results so far

couple of photo's for you all

they Raised £2000 for charity.... 

Tomorrow I'm off to be the Togger for a fund raising event for http://www.beechwoodcancercare.org.uk/ .

my friend works for a building company  who are funding the event, Manchester's largest radio station are sending a couple of reporters to check us all out too. 

so it will be a fun day I hope, plus my name will be passed round to plenty of people as I volunteered to work for free

he owes this to me... MY idea to go to the bridge!!!

tis a good shot though,,, suppose..

lovely set

he looks "dead happy" just "hanging around"

I sit most nights looking through Youtube.... just found this, the images are good (especially for the street toggers) but the music is really nice. putting my Sennheiser headphones to good use.

I took Ellis to watch the rally today, while we were there a friend setup for Ellis to have his picture taken in a Subaru Impreza, one of his favorite cars...

finally found my copy of Canon digital Photo Professional, updated it now it seems to work ok.  even converts the raw to Jpeg

I think I have sussed it.... cost me £1 for a lead http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271232387804?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

then there's a usb host app which reads everything??

suppose it's worth the risk for a quid...

​oops... i missed the "woman" bit
