Err, Sneaton Castle Fri,Sat,Sun. £70 per night (that's for two) we would have stayed four nights but I still need the boots and I don't think they're going to be cheap.

£50 sounds a lot for Scarbs though.

Incidently, if anyone is looking for accomodation they still had another room at that price and one at a lot more, don't know if you'd get away with a one night stay though.

Well I will definitely be going to Whitby come pain or shine

Just booked the B&B, can you believe I found somewhere in Whitby, 1 mile from Town Centre

Attire is almost complete but still need those boots.

I agree with John

Photographic courses can help people with the technical stuff and making you study other photographers work can also help improve your own.

I also recommend camera clubs.

Looks like you had a smashing time


Sorry couldn't resist that

I find that last shot intriguing David, can you explain what it is?

Reviews should only be taken as a guideline, lens tests with a pinch of salt, and anything written on the internet ignored

If your happy with your lenses then use them, it doesn't matter what Joe Bloggs says or believes, it's what comes out of your camera that matters.

Pork Loin Steaks for tea, grilled with a sprinkling of Celery Salt, served with mashed spuds, Cauliflower and mixed veg, followed by three bottles of Maplemoon beer

Some people either love milky water effects or hate them, personally I don't mind either in the right setting, but I don't think this is the right setting
In trying to achieve the surreal look you've taken out the only interesting detail in the image, the running water

The first two could be used as examples for why you should expose and process film as quickly as possible

10/10 for trying something different though, I think many of us could learn from your example and push the boundaries a lot more than we do.

Never mind Barrie, it'll be more aged when you come to open it

But if we follow in his footsteps won't that turn us into what were shooting

I have Four 50mm Lenses, a Pentax M f2, a Super Takumar M42 f1.8 and an Auto Chinon M42 f1.4
The last one I shouldn't really mention.....OK go on then, a Zuiko Auto S f1.8 which for some strange reason only fits one of my camera bodies

Spider is in cripple mode at present I thought it was a flare up with the the Arthritis but now thinking my Spondolitis may be getting worse as the problems seem to be mostly with my back, walking stick has had lots of use on and off over the last few months I blame all that beer that YOU forced down my neck

As for the Steampunk gear I need some cowboy boots and I can't find any wide enough to fit my fat arthritic feet
