Prison uniform appears to have changed a lot since the days of 'Porridge'...

Agree 100%.

Actually, Kris, you've used the 'rule of thirds' without realising it. Landscape and tree are the bottom third, ripples in the clouds are the middle third, plain sky is the top third. You've got to try very, very hard to break all the rules, there are so many that one is almost certain to catch you unawares...

'Gross' is certainly the right word to use to describe how I felt when I first saw it. But after the portrait shoot, I was starting to warm to the little thing...

About as far north of Heathrow as I lived south when a lad. Relatives in Hillingdon/Uxbridge so knew that EMI was there. Didn't venture north of the airport very often, though. I led a very sheltered life - all roads headed east, south or west, and not very far either. The North was a foreign country and it started at Heathrow Airport .

Photographing your meal is something I normally leave to generations younger than me who are wielding a smartphone. Today, however, a pear was part of my lunch. Or at least it was until, having eaten half of it, I noticed that something had grabbed it for lunch before me. The opportunity was too good to miss. So here it is. At least the entire other diner was present, not just half of it...

K3 + Irix 150mm macro + 1.4TC + codling moth larva. Hand held (the camera, not the subject :mrgreen.

Thoughts, comments etc. welcome as usual.

"What are you doing here?"

"Everybody's gotta be somewhere."

And if there's a glitch at their end while downloading to camera and the camera is bricked as a result? I bet their lawyers have worked out the implications...

But a 'recover from failed update' function that works with the current method should be possible, even if it couldn't cover all possible causes of failure.

You should be flattered - it means that they wanted to see a bit more of your handsome face.
