I must say that it makes the forum much more personal. There is less hiding behind your internet identity so to say.

Will upload a photo of me when I've a good one, will ask my brother although he has never used a (D)SLR so don't expect much

Well, I think that I prefer the original avatars and in many ways they tell us more about the person than a 'mugshot'

Just an Australian hat to keep the sun at bay.

Well it was nice seeing everybody but the avatar will be reverting, as mentioned earlier, in the morning.

Quite so.

You can tell that I'm a slippery character who loves a good fish supper, and of course I am always ready to show my appreciation of a fine picture or a well-crafted post by granting my seal of approval.

I've tried to take pictures of myself but my arms simply aren't long enough.... I've got plenty of the ground and my left foot mind.... maybe this should be a future competition theme..... self portrait avatars

Just added mine, my other half took this at our recent trip to the air show at Biggin Hill in June. I don't normally wear hats like this but it was a hot day and my Pentax baseball cap just didn't offer that much protection

Unfortunately ( or so my wife would say ), I always wear hats like that, especially the one in my pic, it's hardly ever off my head
Getting there! Thanks to you guys
