Dr O's recent post on photos that matter really struck a chord. I've not generally posted family type photos on here, sticking to the nice anonymous landscape stuff, but many of my most treasured images are (of course) family snaps. This one is of my boys, a couple of years ago on vacation, having a blast whilst about to 'tube' behind a speedboat. Makes me very happy. And the 55-300 really did it's stuff

The building for the National Graphene Centre at the University of Manchester is rising higher all the time - I walk past the building site every day - and to give them their due the UK government are investing in developing the technology for wider roll-out. Still, given the potential of graphene it would have been quite appalling not to... gift horse and all that.

Nice set, sir

Liking the first two and #9 in particular, and you really caught the autumn colours here.

Just got back from a (work) weekend up there.. but p****s it down the whole time so got nothing

All top stuff as always, Gary. But #4 (B&W) is absolutely top drawer. The lead gives a rally unusual framing, and (dare I say it) his expression hardly looks like Brett Anderson... so a really great and unusual catch of him.

#s 3 and 4 are absolute typical classic poses of him, caught beautifully.

Just catching up with this, late as ever

BIG congrats Bill. Totally deserved given the inspiring stuff you have produced and shown here over the last year +.

Keep the faith 'Drew... I'm sure you'll be able to find a date when enough folk can make it... even if it's another winter warmer

Welcome back Emma

Hope the terrible life stuff has settled down for you - real life has this unfortunate habit of intervening in photo fun

Look forward to seeing your re-entry stuff
