My name being Edward, one of my friends shortened it to Ted when the TV comedy "Father Ted" came out.
Then we had our first child and he said "You really are Father Ted, now!". So it sort of stuck and has been my username on various forums.

I finally get it!
For years now ( has it really been that long? ), I've heard some of you guys waxing lyrical about certain lenses. I now understand it!

I have been trying to photograph my daughter at the riding school for a long time now, but the light is no good. I don't want to use a flash in case it startles the horses, so I've persevered with my kit lens, trying all sorts of settings ( though I usualy forget to up the ISO ).

Today I took my manual 50mm f1:1.7. Wow! What a lens.
Not many shots worked out, due to focussing prblems with a manual lens and moving object. But even with the blurred shots I could tell the difference with the lens.
And I now have a couple for the family album.

Me too. I might not make the journey if it is wet.

Just popped back to admire 2 and 3 again, and suddenly noticed the deer in 1 are slightly blue
Maybe it was cold that day

Like others have said, I love the light in number 3

I'd agree with the "just post a link to it" school of thought. Providing it isn't a Rickroll-style trap anyway!
But you shouldn't go badgering people with it

but I do also like No.2 as well, just wish that bottom left bit of the image wasn't there in that shot

One point: in my opinion, the red and white tape detracts from some of them and would be so easy to clone out.
Points taken on board and number two has had the bottom corner sorted and the tape removed. I put it in the gallery if you are interested

If, as I think you are, you are asking can you copy someone else's photograph to here, then probably not as it is copy righted. However, I can't see a problem with posting the link.

But maybe a moderator is best to advise

You are probably right there! I'll sort that. I suppose I was so used to seeing it at the stagte, I sort of blanked it out and it was less of an issue in the images. As you say, it should be easy to clone.
