Didn't see you go, but welcome back

I agree.
Moving on...........

I believe there was ... erm... a frank exchange of views

I have done nearly all of the above

A lovely crisp day last winter. Took my son for a walk around Llangollen. Some brilliant pics to be taken...no memory card. You'll all know of the image of Jacob with the rally driver where I'd left it on ISO 1600.
Half a dozen of my daughter yesterday at Liverpool Cathedral for a school mass....oops, left on manual focus. Then I realised that I had left my "proper" flash in the car ( well, not as bad as forgetting the camera) and the pop up flash just wasn't enough.


I need to have a pre-shot check list

Thinking about it, it is usually when the photo in some way involves my kids that these things happen. Anyone want a pair of well behaved ( sometimes ) children...free to a good home

Is number 3 Urquart castle? That used to be in our family ( Clan Chisholm ), shame it isn't anymore

It is fun isn't it? I didn't use a snoot ( but probably should have ) when I took the photos for last week's comp. but I did have the flash off camera and spent about an hour with different flash positions and exposures etc. I really enjoyed myself doing it, which I never expected.

BTW, the egg for me also

The clouds around here have been very liquid!!

Seriously though, lovely shot and amazing clouds!

Only if it's your own beer

Still do that with beer.
Beer mat over the top, turn it upside down on the bar, then slide mat out quickly.
Then stand back to watch which fool tries to put the glass upright. Someone always tries

Oo er missus
