Hooray! Seems as though the clouds will break a bit next week.

Brian, keep that camera with you - Metcheck says you might have a bit of snow tomorrow!

All looks like we're in for some 'photographic' weather, in the UK at least.

well it can't get a lot LESS photographic than we've been having.

I feel I should appologise, it's probably my fault for buying a K10D

or perhaps it is all of our collective murphy related bad luck?

Ach, head to the coast, and shoot the sea breaking over Beachy Head.

Change in the weather??? In my dreams... had to drive down to Newquay yesterday for work early this morning - I was going to fly but that seemed like a bad idea given the 100mph gusts - anyway driving gave me the chance to load the camera in the car hoping for some nice weather this morning...

NOT A CHANCE!!! 'Orrible sea fog all the way up the coast - I gave up at midday headed east-bound!!!

I was working in the Ft. William area of Scotland this week, weather was miserable, low cloud, rain, wind and mist, ( later snow ), suddenly the sun came out, took a pic or two.

They're cracking shots Galoot. We'll definitely have to go up there again this year. IIRC, if you go across the ferry, and drive left, a bit further down, there's an island in the middle that had seals sitting on it. I took some, but the longest lens I had was a 70-210 on an ME Super, so they were a bit small. Should be easily in reach for me now.

Brian,

you have to go down the pub, it's heresy not to. I'm just off out myself, as it happens. I'll have one for you..

Cheers

Liam Liam Liam, you are forgetting about animals 6th sense for camera field of view. Surely by now you must have noticed by now that the closest they ever come to you is 1.5x the effective range of your longest lens.

getting better gear just means the animals stay further away!

Eeeerrrmmmm . . . here in Murcia we have had clear blue skies and 20 degree plus daytime temperatures . . . since Christmas. Zero rain, no breeze, let alone wind to speak of (sips Gin & Tonic on a sun drenched terrace) and . . it looks like being the same for a while yet. The heating doesn't even come on any more . . . .

Cheers guys (more factor 8 please),
