Ref the lack of strong sun in the UK, I heard a rather bizarre story recently about someone renting a sunbed for three hours and cranking it up to max to get rid of fungus on two lenses he's bought, and apparently it worked....might be worth a try

Great winning image, and yes, the blue was sky, the picture was taken with a polariser. Thanks for the comments!

I really like these, especially No.4.

Lovely set, especially Found Items and Lamp and Cobwebs.

Wedding shots can look very formulaic, so its great to see someone with a different approach. I really like them.

I've just got to nine, so a way to go to catch up!!

I have just got back from a few days back home in the UK, to find I've just had my 9th picture accepted by PPG, which I know is nowhere near the number some of you have, but I am pleased none the less! Also Schmap asked to use one of my pics of the Lowry Theatre, and best of all a UK-based company that supplies images that are a mix of computer graphics and photographs for architects has asked me if I am interested in doing some work for them here in Qatar. So a good home-coming to Doha!!!Great to see the cats too!!!

Anyway, here's the PPG pic, another of the Chrysler building in Manhattan.




Taken looking straight up from the middle of Lexington Avenue with the Sigma 10-20.

I use Flickr and my own website, which runs on Gallery3

I really like the first two, a lot better thn my first crude attempts with the same lens!!

Nice shots, especially the first two. It's great to see it flying again!
