I'm suffering the same 'photo malaise' at the mo, so nice to see 'affirmative action' from a fellow sufferer - and hats off for taking on this (in)famous building.

Really interesting set - #4 is particularly striking. Something here about the contrast between the old background buildings and modern concrete shapes, with the long exposure sky adding an air of unreality, which I really really like.

Hopefully Scotchland will be able to avoid these sorts of public investment fiascos after winning Independence

Just catching up with this after a long work-induced sabbatical from PU

Hope the meet goes really well Stuey et al ... although I was dead keen on a Snowdonia meet I can't now make, but really look forward to seeing the photos

Gnashing of teeth. I won't be able to make the 6th 7th April.

It's right at the end of a week away with the family in a cottage in the Ystwyth Valley, a combined walking break and revision boot camp for the 16 year old's GCSEs

But sounds like it's a good weekend for 'tothers, so I'd definitely plough on with this Stuey. I'm sure they'll be another time

I think I remember the exception 'Drew

Nevertheless, I completely agree about the overwhelmingly positive nature of the forum for buying and selling. They'll always be the odd rogue, so 'buyer beware', but this has been a great place to trade

Welcome Rob

#1 is a terrific version of this already spectacular image of yours, mark. - the darker tones on the island really enhance the composition.

#2 ain't half bad either!

Good to see you back on here. I can sympathise with 'ailing parent syndrome'

Just to second Dr O and Darkskies... Thanks David for taking the time to post these examples and crops. Extremely helpful comparisons

Top stuff Stan.

Have you posted the 'three' on here? Be great to see them!
