Is that any worse than the English wanting fish and chips everywhere they go?

Isn't it great how this thread has gone off topic and then even gone off the new topic

If people do not understand your English, just use the same method as most English tourists. Raise your voice! and if they still do not understand then SHOUT.
It's true that slow, loud English can be understood by anyone on the planet...or it would appear that way having watched a number of Brits abroad.
On my one and only trip abroad (so far) I was embarrassed by the volume of fellow English who still take that attitude. I thought that was something out of 1970's comedies.

Is this cheating?
It is (technically) a lens

Congratulations Tony.

I wasn't able to get any photos in the past two weeks. I had intended to photo a friend of mine (been talking about it since Christmas), but she is at the stage of pregnancy when she just feels fat and wasn't up for photos. Shame, she'll be an interesting model.
However: I promise to try for the next subject.

Just relax and have fun: you're taking photos, not splitting the atom or performing a lobotomy. It's supposed to be a hobby...

That's very good advice.
Maybe when you have a few minutes spare, put your camera on manual and play with it. Photograph the dog, the computer, an apple...whatever is to hand.
It's what I did / do.
