Just to go off on a slightly different tack.

Has anyone ever taken in the Hill-climb at Harewood?
http://www.harewoodhill.co.uk/

I went a couple of times last year and it's a very entertaining day-out. The track-side is very close to the spectators in many places, there's loads of room for photography and you can get up-close and personal in the paddock area.

Lots of opportunities for photography and events are held regularly. I think it was around £10 for the day.

Sounds good to me
with the exception of this coming Sunday I'm OK with any of those dates listed on the website (unless of course the wife decides we should book a holiday)

Good idea Ewan, I didn't even know it existed.

Dan, saturday 2nd? Tropical World might be a bit hectic, flower gardens at Temple Newsom might be a better bet if you want to stick local to Leeds City.

Dave, are you around? is the 2nd OK?

Week after (the 9th) is better for me but I can do 2nd no problem.

It was probably Benjikan posting some enticing tid bits about upcoming Pentax releases.

He doesn't do that anymore since Pentax dropped him... er I mean since he decided he didn't want to be sponsored by the company he claimed made the best equipment for his work... allegedly!

Have you read the interview with Ben in the latest Pentax User? Ben has makes it perfectly clear that he still loves the Pentax brand despite the loss of the sponsorship, I wonder if Pentax are looking for someone else to sponser, I could do with some new lenses and maybe a shiny new K20D...or two

OK chaps, as the last suggested date never got off the ground due to some old girl reaching 80 (good on her, and may she have many more) and no doubt the lure of a party been too much for Dan (Tyr) to resist, how about a meet on ANY saturday in August?

Suggestions on a postcard please

Alternatively send me £250,000 and three packet tops and I'll send you a slogan of not more than 25 words

Well that made ME laugh at least.

The only problem is I cant find out which of the 7 I am

Cracking shot Clarky, but everyones talking rubbish your original post needs cropping on the left your second posting leaves to much space above the subject, plus it looks like youve left a dirty mark from the sensor showing

PS; how on earth do you get jumping spiders to stay still? I can only ever find them on boring brick or concrete walls and they leg it as soon as I get anywhere near

why on earth do you want to sell a Pentax 80-320?

I have this lens and I think it produces better images than my Sigma 50-500 which cost me 7X more.

(its not a black finish version by any chance?)

I only have one photograph of an Egret and until I can take a better one, I shall keep it.

I think we ALL do that, even Malo if he's honest Keeping older "not so good" shots does help to improve your work over time. It also gives you an immense feeling of achievement when you compare them.
