BBC1 tonight at 11.05 - Vivian Maier street photography. This looks interesting. I presume it will be on the iplayer afterwards.

My wife's latest joke...

have you heard about the new drug craze where you inject the into your gum?

- its called ebygum!!

You can see why I did not claim is as my joke.

I am not sure if it is legal to ban people in their own private gardens....or on the public footpath. As for noise control it would have to contravene a certain level.

By the way many businesses lost thousands when the Tour de France came through Yorkshire. Only a few in hospitality made money.

Still I went to the lakes as I did not fancy 2 days of major road closures

Here is a review link

I have hardly used it so I would say it is in mint condition. I am asking for £85 including postage within the UK.

Any questions please send me a pm.

Dave

Barry if you had asked I would have held the camera for you!

me jealous?

Why are they known as the L pod? How close were you? What lens?

Dave

Hello Pawel you have a pm

Dave

Now that's different thinking. I think that first has a Japanese feel to it.

The last time I went up it was a lovely golden lit evening sun with some cloud for a brief few minutes. The scene in front of me was wide and the foreground had a lot of well defined shadow. I could not get what I wanted

There was another guy there who by the time he had set up his tripod and camera he had missed the moment! He said it was his third time in as many weeks trying to get a golden hour shot.

I am escaping the TDF for the Lake District at the weekend.

I will be camping a short walk away from the Castlerigg stone circle and the weather might be interesting in the evening. Any suggestions for getting away from the cliché images.
