If there's any members left by then!

Indeed it is a good tip. Only just about 90 minutes away for me, too.

To be fair, the OP opened with the word "Cheating" so it's no wonder others have answered directly.

I, personally don't mind what others do with their pictures, but I can still have an opinion.

"Cheating" as a word is a bit strong. I manipulate every single image I take, so do I think manipulation is wrong? Of course not. As long as it's done in a thought out and successful manner and it's not too outrageous (unless it's meant to be).

So, if there was a different sky, perhaps as others have suggested, a fantasy style of sky, this might work well. As it stands, it's obviously very manipulated and, for me, doesn't work.

David,

I play all music on my PC through my hi-fi system. No problem!

Strangely, I didn't know you were a fan of The Pixies, dr. They are my favourite band of all time.

Music doesn't distract me at all, quite the opposite, actually. I even used to play music whilst revising for exams. I find it helps.

Currently, whilst editing photos, I've been listening to Buke and Gass.

At the moment, though not editing photos, I'm watching Man City thrash Wigan.

No doubt that's true, Lemmy.

But the items that John said were all in Jessops, Trafford Centre, Manchester, were being offered (or at least some of them were) at reduced prices at Mathers just up the road in Bolton.

Hi and welcome.

I love Skye. One of my regrets is that I didn't visit it more often before moving to France. But now you are here you can provide us with views from the great photo opportunities that the landscape offers.

Cheers,

ds

I somehow doubt it.......but if I can I will. Plenty of time to think about a theme. Not much else to do.

I know where mine is, it's in hospital!

I just meant that, perhaps, the Jessop's prices were well above what you could get the items at elsewhere. Simply put, the places where they sold out were the cheapest, maybe?
