ive bought and sold a fair bit on ebay, but it has changed over the years for the better

now if there is a dispute, ebay refund your money and then chase a refund from the seller. Good news

just recently bought a new pentax DA 50-200 lens for £89 - quite happy

can a moderator please delete my entry - did not realise you had a 14 day rule

sorry - didnt realise that shot had to be taken within 14 days

hay ho

sorry, me bad!

Taken with a Pentax K20D, f4, 1/750 sec, ISO 400, focal length 21mm digital / 31mm film

Thanks for your kind comment - scottering is very much alive and well in Europe and elsewhere still.

Any bank holiday weekend, there will be a local or national scooter rally somewhere - and plenty of beautifully bright and decorated examples just like this to catch a photographers eye

Lambretta, the italian legend

the black and white one is smaller, making it...









... the lesser of two weevils

ok, I'll get my coat

the ill informed PCSO isnt the only one around

apologies as this pertains to the use of a nikon, and not a pentax!



These two PCSO's came up during the Fareham East District Scout's St. George's Day Parade. Having seen I was using two pro-dslr's I was approached by the older (more cynical and bitter?) one and asked "are you a child photographing pervert?". Further discussions seemed to indicate that part of their training included "most perverts use professional camera's"...So there you have it, perverts use pro gear, not cell phones and other small cameras! The younger one on the left just smiled, she had a lovely smile too, and didn't make any comment at all...And yes I was wearing my Scout "One World, One Promise" Necker!
NONE of the other photographers present, with lesser gear, got any attention

Just to add to your woe Father Ted

A little idyllic village close by called South Dalton,

well chuffed with the amount and level of snow in Uk at the mo,

so lets see those snow shots folks - I know youve all got them


taken with K20D and kit 18-55mm lens

this was taken on Sun 20 Dec 09 on the Westwood Pasture, 'the common' if you like, in Beverley, East Yorkshire

i like it - has a sepia effect added with a touch of colour

wonderful shot
