Elvis? She hasn't a good memory.

Which pub was it, by the way? I used to go on a few curry and beer trips to Bradford in me yoof.

Here's where you can chat about the subject.

If you want to, of course!

Cheers,

Hopefully, nothing called Barriers has ever been a subject for the fortnightly assignment.

I would like to see photos which have a Barrier, or Barriers, in any sense of the word, as the main, or very important, subject of the composition.

Shots are to be taken from now until 6 pm bst 20/7/11 Pentax cameras or Samsung clones only please.

EXIF data to be provided.

Good luck!

Oh bugger! I didn't expect that to happen.

Thanks very much, Geordie.

I did expect loads and loads of entries so it was a surprise to me too that there were so few.

I particularly like Dr O's fly, and I must have a try at that myself. The D-FA 100 macro is brilliant, but I'm a novice with it as yet. Must keep practising.

I'll have a think, look through previous subjects, and try to think of a subject for the next comp by tonight.

Cheers,

We're just having a laugh, John, as the theme is France. We don't talk in French all the time, as you've probably noticed.

Anyway, I'll translate my reply......

"People eat a lot of frog's legs in the Vienne department. Not I, you understand, but French people in the restaurants. I think that it is different in each department."

There. I'm sure that will generate a lot of replies.

Bonjour Benôit,

On mange beaucoup de cuisses de grenouille dans le département de la Vienne. Pas moi, vous comprenez, mais les français, dans des restaurants. Je pense que c'est different dans chaque département.

Cordialement,

darkskies
