Amazing shots, as always

What do you use on top of your monopod :

Very nice.

I think that I probably agree about trying a tighter crop on No. 2

Stick to colour - that is what flowers are all about

I hope that you are not 'pandering' to Gwyn by showing us some flowers rather than insects

No. 2 for me as well - most unusual.

You must have really steady hands unless the K100 is appreciably lighter than the K10D

I would still give Southampton a miss, perhaps I am biased because I work there

I agree with the suggestion for the Lymington to Yarmouth ferry.

Whilst on the Isle of Wight I would also visit Bembridge, where there are some good coastal walks.

I would give Southampton a miss and go straight to Beaulieu as per my earlier post.

I would also definitely visit Dartmouth.

In return, I promise to place some photos here on the forum.
Not sure of your definition of 'not too expensive' but try the Montague Arms in Beaulieu.

Whilst in Beaulieu, have a look at the classic cars for sale in the local garage and visit the world famous Motor Museum (go early, as soon as it opens to miss the crowds).

Also take the walk along the river to Bucklers Hard and amongst other things, visit the Maritime Museum.

Between Beaulieu and Bucklers Hard, you should fill up a few SD cards

You are spot on

It rained on Sunday and the forecast for this week is dry and sunny.

There might be the odd shower, but I am bound to be in a meeting when they occur

I agree - it is a really nice site

Some other forums (whatever the subject matter) can be somewhat 'less than civilised'

Pete,

Any EXIF available for these :

Peter,

Very nice photos, particularly No.2.

Reminds me that I must try out my new lens.

The Wey Navigation Canal has changed a lot from when I last saw it (at one time I lived between West Byfleet and Pyrford).
