You can post as many as you like, I have no problem with anyone having a laugh at my expense, laughter is good for the soul so every little helps, much better than Ice apparently

That shot is quite funny if your made aware that the guy is know as "Blade of Whitby"

He'd just bought the knife at a table top sale and the lady (Lynn) was having a quick shuftie when she held it to his neck for the camera, the shot was cropped a lot to hide the blue plastic carrier bag that the knife was in.

It's not often I post anything sensible but this find on Facebook recently got me a little worried about the health of certain people on this forum, so here's a few facts and some good advice:

Vodka and Ice will ruin your kidneys
Rum and Ice will ruin your Liver
Whisky and Ice will ruin your Heart
Gin and Ice will ruin your Brain
Pepsi and Ice will ruin your Teeth

So for gods sake PLEASE stop using Ice, the stuff is deadly, and if you want proof just look what it did to the Titanic!

Right first time although working that out couldn't have been all that difficult. The beard (in case some of you are wondering) was grown specially for the occasion, now my wife has decided she likes it it may stay on a little while longer, I did worry I may look a little too much like a famous purveyor of fried chicken but the attire seemed to be well accepted and no comment was made other than "are you Wild Bill Hickock"

@ Dave, you should have given one of us a call to find out where we were, and yes I was carrying a gun as I thought there would be a lot of others carrying Cannons as it happens I can't recall seeing anyone else with a DSLR (other than Daveholmes, HG and Honesty)

Just realised, I know 5 Dave/Davids that own a Pentax, 4 of them on this forum

Nice shots, I can't really pick a favorite so I'll just say number 6 isn't top of my list, I think the rest come joint 1st

I can't remember the last time I posted any pics on here, in fact this is the first time I've done any "serious" photography since the Whitby Goth Weekend last November

I really must make the effort to get out more.

Oh, and one of these wasn't taken by me.











Can anyone guess who this is




Or even this one

I dunno Barrie, BBC Weather says white cloud for most of day with light rain around 1pm, perfect portrait lighting and it's raining while your having lunch

Having said that I don't think I'd make the trek especially as weather forecasts are not the most reliable.

Only a couple probably all hiding in the pub

Before buying a new printer see whats available by way of re-filable cartridge systems for any given model, something like these link

I seriously wish I'd found these before shelling out for a Continuous Ink System.

Sorry Stuey, I would hazard a guess and say you've now trashed it beyond economical recovery by trying paint thinners

The chemistry of paint thinners (assuming you mean White Spirit or Turpentine AKA HydroCarbons) is not compatible with that of printer inks which are Alcohol Based, Methylated Spirit may have been a wiser choice

If you seriously think this is likely to happen to any future printers then perhaps your idea to buy one with heads included in the cartridge is a good idea, either way you should be running a test sheet through a printer at least once a week, alternatively if the printer software supports nozzle checks then run one of those weekly.

PS: as fo printer brands as I've only ever used Canon, Lexmark and Epson, the latter has produced the best photo's for me.
