Tried to photograph my daughter whilst riding in an indoor riding school.
Didn't want to use flash in case it spooked the horses.

The only way I got any useable shots was to up the ISO and use my 50mm f1.7 prime.
Everything I tried with kit lens was useless, shutter speed was too long and got motion blur no matter what I tried.

Well, I might as well make my first wedding shoot count, so I'll go with Wills and Kate

In reality, Ray Mears, on location in Canada. Then I could pick his brains as well.

The Lottery is nothing but a "Tax on Stupidity"
Yep, my friends mother was stupid.
She wasted a couple of hundred pounds on the lottery, before she won £1.25 million.

MMmm....I wonder if she'd get me a K5 for Christmas

Well that's going to be a pretty small payout if we all use those numbers
Asl ong as it will buy me a K-5 and a new kitchen (there's no way Mrs Ted will let me have a new camera before she gets the kitchen! )

Utterly astonishing!
Utterly disgraceful!

Thing is Gareth, it's that bad that we don't need to mention which nation. Everyone will know I mean the UK.

It's more a case of not bothering if it is dull and grey as I can't make the flat light work for me..maybe I should try harder.

I took the carpet up in our back room this weekend, as I am decorating. Under the underlay was some old newspaper, dating to 1990.
There was a photo competition and one of the runners up was of two children playing in the sea: wearng nothing but arm bands and sun hats. The shot was taken from behind and the children are standing up in the water.

Now, these days to even take that shot would be dicing with death, let alone a national paper publishing it!

Ah the joys of the Goth Festival, I'm sure there are more Togs than Goths
It seemed like that.

I do like the expression on the by in blue....as if that was the strangest thing he'd seen!
