Thankyou Stefan.

If we do it as you suggest it is still possible to see who took the photo by looking at the link.

I'll come up with a subject and we'll do it the same way as this one was run for now, until we can decide on the anonymous factor and the timeline, if that's OK with everyone?

I'll look in again later to see what others have to say before starting the new competition.

If we are going the anonymous route then I'd be grateful if you could do the overseeing role Stefan, I may be away for a few days in the next couple of weeks.

They have them on offer here too. €4.99.

Along with lots of "English" food and Hobgoblin beer. I am going to go, if only for the beer, but at that price I might get the lamp too.

Yes it will work with the K 10D - it is battery powered and sits on the hot shoe, but doesn't use it.

I agree. Number one is terrific.

maybe if you crop off the bottom and left side of number two, so the plane is off centre, it would work better?

Did any of you actually meet up at Farnborough?

Maybe an idea for a trip next time?

Rain here too and only 19C today . I hope it doesn't mean summer is over. The long term forecast is not looking good though.

Wish I could get rid of the dogs for a week - I could go to Marseilles with my husband next week then. Three kids and not one can/will dog sit. Terrible.

It is straw, and therefore bedding or building material. If it were hay the fields would be green, not gold.

Good set of photos though. I like #2 the most.

I loved the three patch line .

Looks like a lot of late Sunday nights for me .

It is incredibly difficult to find someone to countersign my photos here. We don't have any British friends here, and most of our Dutch friends are not considered suitable to countersign the photos. Our neighbour is a policeman, but he doesn't speak English so won't countersign them.
My husband's former boss was a personal friend and so he signed them last time, but he was "let go" during a merger, and we've lost touch since he moved to France with his golden handshake (more like a platinum one actually :shock.

I have no idea who'll do it next time - maybe I'll put them in the post to Flossie .

On the other hand if my husband sold my camera gear he could buy another guitar .

Well I stayed up and watched it. Didn't mean to but I ended up enjoying it and reluctant to head for bed.
I thought it was good any way. Good to see Una Stubbs back on the box too.

Interestingly the rules for passport photos for passports renewed abroad are slightly different to those for the UK. I can't remember all the differences now, but it is to allow for foreign passport photo rules too.


I used to be able to send my passport off to Amsterdam for renewal and get it back in a week. Now, sooperdooper new streamlined system, I have to send it to Paris , by courier, hand over a kings ransom in fees and another €48 for the return courier, and wait a minimum of four weeks for one.

Luckily it doesn't need renewing for a while.

At least they don't want fingerprints yet like they do for Dutch passports. Would I have to travel to Paris to do that??
