Thanks, I'll try that crop Tony.
And to think the wheelbarrow was a spur of the moment shot as we walked past it!
I had hoped that the parasol shot "told a story", but I see what you say about the empty chair!

The wheelbarrow shot is excellent.

#1 needs a bit of straightening, the roof line isn't quite horizontal.

Your sensor needs cleaning. There are a substantial number of blobs in the sky of #1.
I couldn't decide if it was straight or not as the line of the lake seems to go the other way

How did I miss a of those blobs? I have now cleaned the sensor.

Am I odd in that I actually don't want people in my photos?
Nope, sounds right to me. But then, I am misanthropic.
Not only do I not like people in my shots, I really don't like taking shots of people.

We went to Erddig country house on Bank Holiday.
I decided not to take my tripod...mistake. I got some shots which would have been fairly reasonable, if they didn't have shake on them.
Anyway, here are some I'm really happy with.

C&C sought, as always.

Lovely set David. I especially like the last one.

Sorry to hear about that!
Hopefully your insurers play ball and don't mess you around too much.

Ooo! A tough one, this!
I think it would have to be a profound invention. Maybe the steam locomotive. Possibly the race at Edge Hill when the Rocket won.

But, I reserve the right to change my mind

Still one of my favourite aircraft.
I like number 4, just as she lifts.
Well captured.

Go on then, let's see the pictures she took! Or are they better than yours?


She's got a lovely smile by the way

All CCTV does is allow the authorities to "maybe" find the responsible person, after the fact.
As someone who installs CCTV, I can safely say that I'm not aware of any case where it has prevented a crime. As Doug says, all it does is to record the crime. Something which I've had to tell our customers when they expect far more out of a system that it is capable of providing.
