Well, I didn't really, these are growing outside my house.
After spending the day working on my car, I spotted the light on these was nice, so I grabbed my camera for a few shots.

Thats just one of the good things about this place - helpful pointers freely given Anyway it's full moon time with the usual 10/10 cloud cover
To be honest, full moon is never very interseting, so you're not missing much with the clouds. Everything just flattens out. Crescent moon is great, the mountains really stand out.

I know exactly how you feel. I've not picked my camera up "properly" since before Christmas really.
Every time I want to, something gets in the way.

I must get out this weekend...but will I ?

Remember:

The 7/7 bombers took no photographs and showed no interest in trains beyond that of a normal tourist during their recce, which we have seen CCTV footage of. Maybe they should arrest everyone who carries a backpack, stops to read timetables, or indeed uses public transport in London? There's more evidence of those as suspicious behaviour than there is of carrying a camera being such!
Too many laws were passed based on suspicions and raising the public perception of danger.
Section 44 would never have prevented 7/7, but the law was sold on its ability to prevent such a situation.
CRB checks were sold after Soham, but these checks would never have prevented that, either.
What did happen, though, was public perception was pushed towards a situation were trust was lost and people watched "strangers" with distrust.

But I'd best get off my paranoid soap box now

There is some talk that the Government's current legislation to reduce the background check requirement for people who occasionally work with children has other measures, some of which may be relevant to Police treatment of photographers.
Yep, the "Freedom Bill" which, I uderstand, aims to give us back some of the freedoms removed by the previous government. Don't know the detail yet, but here's hoping.

Thing is with a lot of forums, peope only go there when there is a problem.
I see a lot of that on a car forum I moderate. To the casual observer you really wouldn't want that model as it is totally unreliable. It isn't, just the posts skew the perception!

I'm still in work, so haven't heard any news since 8am.
Still, only 5 mins to go before they release me

Are you referring to Australia, or did I miss something?

We have friends over in Queensland who were flooded a couple of weeks back. They are actually staying in Mexico at the moment and neighbours moved their stuff.
Now for the same areas to be hit with this cyclone...what next?
