You can upload your photos directly to the forum from your computer, the same as you do in the gallery.

First time I have heard of that. Has there been a change? As somebody else pointed out, I too have occasionally posted a pic to the gallery because there was no way to upload directly.You don't need to join a photo hosting site, David.

Nice to see these pictures.
The boat-lift has recently been restored, which is why it is in such fine condition for something that was erected in 1875. Sadly I have never used it, though the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is another extraordinary piece of canal engineering, and I have done that a couple of times.
I am a bit surprised we don't see more canal pictures here. Anybody needing some inspiration could do worse than head for the nearest canal.
And if you are in Scotland, the Falkirk Wheel is the supreme example of British 20th C. engineering, bar none. It's a different take on the same problem.

David, I haven't resurrected anything; my post to you in the other thread was made at 16:20, the one here was made at 18:52.
For the record, your PM was prompted by my suggesting you refrain from offering erroneous legal advice. Prior to that you had told somebody that a third-rate lens was "excellent", and I felt obliged to correct that statement. Not exactly "incessant personal jibes".
I note that you have decided to post even more pictures to the Gallery because of this disagreement. It seems a poor reason.
Incidentally, I haven't met your mate, Puma, but from what I have seen he appears to be a very nice chap. I am therefore sure that you are too, when not waging war on the internet.
I also think your photography has improved considerably, and my comments on your two pictures were entirely sincere.
Cheers

Could I ask you, George, to cast your overbearing,irascible, opinionated,

For posterity, you understand.
Thankyou,

No George, please, think of the forum................Perhaps if I took a short break, say ten years, I might be able to come back with fresh eyes and hope in my heart......
In more ways than one, mutters Doug, sotto voce.

In almost every one, it's the light that makes the shot.

You have no idea of why I post on the Gallery and why I don't often post images in the Forum, so please don't indulge in pointless inaccurate speculation. Some of the members on here do actually know me personally and I would imagine they are currently howling with laughter at your feeble attempts at character assasination.
Thank you for your almost warm comments on two of my images.

If I recall correctly, David, the insults started in a PM you sent to me a while ago, in which you criticised my pictures, and implored me not to comment on yours.George Lazarette wrote:

George, I am not going to be drawn into your grubby little world of personal insults. I have asked you once before (privately) to refrain from this idiocy but you seem unable to do so.[quote:3496ace15f="davidstorm"]

You have explained why you posted in the Gallery, but I am afraid I didn't find your explanation very convincing.
Now, I am quite happy to discontinue this dialogue, and I hope you have a pleasant evening!

Interestingly though when Timbo posts a picture no one seems to notice the background, not sure why that is
That's because, in Timbo's pictures, the background forms an integral part of the image. Timbo goes to great lengths to get the background exactly right, and in most cases, the image would be nothing without the background.Interestingly though when Timbo posts a picture no one seems to notice the background, not sure why that is
That's his way, and it works (extremely well) for him.
