Until a few moments ago my access to SRS was still being blocked by Bullguard. I entered Bullguard's own site to report wrongful blocks, filled in a report form and said SRS was a highly regarded and legitimate business and its blockage was damaging to the business and annoying thousands of customers. Within seconds I was redirected by Bullguard to SRS without any further discussion.

Quality set Barrie.

Looking forward to a visit to Durham Photographic Society on Thursday from Alan Wennington (Blythman) - the Birdman of Blyth.
Alan is giving a talk to the North East's biggest camera club on his favourite themes: 'Wildlife and a bit of everything else.'
Alan will go down well at Durham where we have a wide range of talents among our 100+ members, many of them keen wildlife photographers.
Any member of PUF living within striking distance of Durham is welcome to come along - and check us out to see if they would like to join DPS.
Meetings are on Thursdays at 7.30pm in the St Oswald's Church Institute, Church Street, Durham, DH1 3DQ.
Check out our club website: http://www.durhamps.co.uk/

My zoom lenses are all constant aperture John, namely f2.8 but I'm not sure if that's relevant.

Thanks JAK. My non-technical brain vaguely grasps this but I won't lose any sleep worrying about it.
David.

I have a question on a related subject to go4IT's original post: In the PUF EXIF what is the difference between 'f stop and 'aperture value' ? These two headings show different settings.

Great creative stuff this. The colours look fabulous in these impressionist images. I was annoyed on Monday when I sat right through a recording of the live coverage of the third and final stage on TV and a couple of miles from the finish in Sheffield the recording came to and end so I never got to see the cliff hanger finish.

# 2, 7, 11, and 13 are the standouts for me - particularly #11 which has great beauty. Surely this one would be a contender for a future POTW except I think only Gallery pictures can be selected for that.

It was good to meet you again Gary, and later I met up with Alan Chapman (Fatspider) and Mrs Chapman.
Gary what a super selection - how have you found time to process them so quickly?
JAK, I like your street scene.
I'd better start working on my Goths images soon although I'm not very excited by any I took yesterday.
I think I got better results from the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
David

A rich and closely observed and very satisfying selection of images.
