Profile information changed by someone, not me.
Has anyone else experienced some of their profile information magically being changed? Earlier on today, I found that my 'location' which has been set as 'Victory Mansions' for some time now, had been changed to 'robbie_d'. I had not performed this change. I have since changed it back. Weir...

where are the birds
My resident blackbirds and sparrows disappeared with the heavy rain a few weeks back. Only seen pigeons and magpies plus a few blue and long tail tits since. Hopefully they have moved to where the weather is better.

Vintage 80s: Life on the streets
The reason I thought the article interesting is precisely on the historical value rather on the photographic merit Dangermouse's film analogy is very apt. I started scanning my old film negs from the 80s BEFORE I got into digital photography. I often found some interesting shots at the beginning...

You really can't win
Its not the weekend warriors charging free or £50 that's the problem. I have seen WW's around my way shooting for £1750 for just a disc full of out of camera images shot on a D40 with kit lens. The images haven't even been selected through for out of focus etc... just literally copied the card conte...

You really can't win
I would never want to shoot weddings professionally simply due to the stress. While you can take every reasonable precaution in terms of kit, venue, etc there's always Murphy's Law waiting to trip you up, only this time it'll ruin the record of what remains one of the biggest days of anyone's life. ...

You really can't win
I think my parents had two black and white shots done for their wedding, one family group and a bride and groom only standing on the church steps, bring back the good old days :) I've been pressganged into shooting weddings three times (free for friends) and I'll not shoot another, I agree with t...

warehouse express are strange....
Amazon can be very odd on occasion. Items drop vertically in price for a week or so then pop back up again. I always suspect that they take the attitude of "It's been in the warehouse for too long, drop the price to just above cost and shift it".

Sell your camera, buy a paintbrush
I just checked that one out again. She has actually painted a receding area on the ground which is gradually and subtley out ot focus. Incredible.

Sell your camera, buy a paintbrush
From way back I have an old calendar of Airbrushed art. Some of the stuff is so realistic that you could not tell it from a photograph. The nearest I can find is at the link below. It took him 140Hrs to complete!! http://adcook.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=240&Itemid=94

Sell your camera, buy a paintbrush
Love the stuff Tim linked in the OP and the further stuff on mymodernmet that Smeggy linked. My favourite in the photo/painting cross-over field (though the focus is very different) is Liu Bolin: Saw an exhibition of his work (in which he is life-size) a couple of years ago in Chicago, it...

Tim?
This isn't the place to discuss this, but Tim won't be around for 7 days. After that, hopefully he will be back and all will be well again.

Tim?
hopefully he will be back. Err, no, he won't.

Tim?
I suppose this is an appropriate time to say that your 7 day ban has become permanent. I really think you should settle down and stop doing this Tim. This is not the way to discuss something. Why not look at it again in the morning and put things back into perspective? I'm more than happy to ...

Tim?
It is very sad indeed to ban a long standing member of this forum on the drop of a hat. I would be very interested to hear your side of the story, John, as it is highly relevant for my decision to stay or go (not that it makes a big difference to the forum at large). I have very fond memories of ...

Tim?
From what I can gather was posted I find it very strange that Tim was banned. In instances like this we have to take the mods word. However, given Tim's character - as demonstrated by his many constructive contributions to PUF over the past few years - I can't help feeling that the action taken in t...

A curious thread indeed. Do not care to go into the rights and wrongs of specific cases, but it does seem odd, and sad that established forum members end up being banned. Clearly things must have gotten quite heated to end up in this manner, why I ask myself? For most people this is a friendly r...

I had two choices for entertainment this evening, sit and read this forum or go watch X Men The Last Stand, I chose the latter as I though it would be more exciting. Obviously I was wrong:shock: I too find it incredulous that Tim could get himself banned, I dont know the reason and dont know if...

I can assure you there was little thought in the post, but that's another issue. Unfortunately this couldn't be moved like that, but it's all water under the bridge now anyway. I'm sure if you find one of your members stepping over the line Smeggy you will do something about it. An afterthough...

Fair enough comments crossed-up, it must seem very strange. Also confusing and just a bit repetitive now. We don't normally discuss moderation in public, and we can see why. Still, I was trying to be fair, but there we go. Robbie had a long history of warnings, even a previous 7 day ban and th...
