I think this is really difficult this week. I just can't find anything "Ugly".
I've got a couple of ideas, but if they don't turn out..I'm stuck!
Might be the self portrait yet
Even Epithet Man managed to get a portrait of George from somewhere
HE HE i owed you that

When i first saw it i suspected it had something to do with the Protestant Catholic divide as you put it, but couldn't make the connection between you being a Scot and Nth Ireland, so i wasn't sure what to make of its meaning.
I have my own views which i won't go into, and as John says let the judges do the judging. Good luck

two words; the second one is 'off'
Since when was it acceptable for posters to snipe before the judge has made a decision. I'll find out where you live and... fill the rest in yourself
I thought the same thing as Chris when i saw your entry Gartmore but decided to keep my thoughts to myself. Unlike Chris who let his thoughts be known.
I learnt at a young age that you should never discuss religion or politics, even amongst friends less you want to get into heated arguments
Gartmore: Now it has been raised perhaps you would like to clear the air as to its meaning : It may be just a simple misunderstanding.

Clarky: For a moment I thought you would leave us without a chance, by entering your "self portrait " again. Lucky for us, you only went for something "mild ugly"

The 180mm is a great lens and definately worth the wait
There doesn't appear to be too many around, well in Aust anyway.

I think all the Pentax stuff is worth keeping if you want it and worth selling if you want to move it on. The exception might be the MV which will probably fetch a derisory amount.
The Vivitar lens leaves me a bit indifferent, but it might sell for £20 or so on eBay.
What would you use that thing on the end for :

Its just begging to have a couple of speech bubbles added.
My rendition would go like this.
Woman: Hey look what i found next to that grave stone, It looks like someones finger.
Man: Get that thing away from me woman

Just noticed a problem with my Tamron 90mm Macro, i'm getting a bright spot in the centre of the frame. This is not really noticable until I stop down further than f8, its barely visible at f9-10 but becomes more pronounced the smaller I go, and at f32 theres a definate "spot".
This is obvious aperture related as the circle gets smaller as the aperture decreases, looking through the lens at the aperture blades they dont seem to be closing down evenly but not really having another to compare it to I dont know what they should look like, I do know its not as even as my Pentax lenses and they have less blades?.
Any suggestions?
I hope you haven't killed it
Not sure if it will be a viable candidate for repair though. But i hope so
