... no drama please, this is about photos.

The air intake is at the top of the grill, but if there's too much water in the engine bay then the steering pump will pop and that would take around 2 feet.

I'm looking for 6"-8" of water, MAX, to be driven at a reasonable speed. "watersplash" is, I think, a better name. And I'm going to ask someone to take a look at the location before we go.

I will sort a rope and a towcar, too.

Another one that's come up is Shell ford - http://www.wetroads.co.uk/worcestershire.htm.

If you've got a location for Clee Hill, it would be great to have it.

Thanks!

aaah, this one in pillerton hersey looks good. Will have to check some sunset times, but that should work. Now to find an A2 driver...

Bret

No, not one with a blue oval, but a stream to drive through.
Preferably somewhere round Coventry / Rugby / down to Watford way (I'll probably be making the trek to SRS) for a photo-op.
The German A2 club's Calender theme for 2011 is "Action". We have some cars hurtling round a track and over some hills; I want some real action if I can get it.

Any other thoughts for photos? I have the rig (Manfrotto 241s + extension), the superstand is being ordered ASAP for the church and the "overview" of a junction filled with A2s, and I have some drives lined up for the annual meet which mean hairpins.

Ideas gratefully received

18k / year at the moment, I think I hit 48k recently and it's three years and two months old.

ha, here the fog was prettty bad (by our standards at least) and it's been above freezing for 24 hours. To go with the clock changes, I think we're probably actually hitting spring! wow.

Bret

yeah, spring is coming - the seagulls are back.

Tomorrow should be a big kiting event on the small lake (around the size of windermere), probably 200 kiters. I need a 300mm+ and a monopod, I really do...

Bret

... what's this strange liquid stuff falling from the sky? It's like snow but sort of runny?!

Haven't seen it since November. Damn, what was the name again?

(benefit of living up north: wet weather is *extremely* rare)
Bret

... glass bottles with different inks in would look fantastic lit from behind...

I would personally probably focus differently, using f2.8 and a 100 to drop the focus point down to a word "marriage" or "ceremony" in some incidental shots. I also don't like the lack of focus on the shells in the last one, I'd go up to f/16 with a 35 or 50 macro.

I'd also emphasise the reality of the paper somewhere, the 2.8 idea would do that, too.

Bret

yes, that should be fine for most cases. I personally use EasyList+EasyList Deutschland because i surf a lot of German sites.

IE8 is very, very standards-adherent. However, security can be debated until the ends of the earth; FF has had more bugs found recently, which again means nothing. If it doesn't promote secure behaviour on the part of the user, it's worse than sloppy programming.
