I've got that 'been hanging around for a delivery all day and it's not arrived' feeling .

Off to the Isle of Arran with the family on Saturday (yipee). Looking forward to trying out some seascapes, and Dr Orloff's fine long exposure posts this week inspired me to get a 10 stopper and give it a whirl. But Teamwork Digital were supposed to deliver today and haven't. Hope it turns up tomorrow. I suppose if not it'll be galling, but lots else to photograph on Arran . I just don't think trying out the stopper the following week on the local duck pond will be quite as gripping...

A frighteningly good set - on first pass through these the portraits in particular are absolutely amazing. Although I thought Bill Bailey was a prog-rock fan, not a punk (#16)

Welcome. You've found a good place for 'very amateurs' like ourselves to learn loads . Enjoy the forum.

Funny thing is, it really does smell like insect repellant. How anyone would choose to use it as a normal beauty product escapes me... but it sure does help keep the midgies off.

Dumfries and Galloway is one of my favourite areas and people zap by it heading north up the M74.
Weirdly, I was about to say exactly the same . And the benefit of it being closer to the 'southlands' is less time driving and more time for photography / fun

Oh the landscapes have got to been well out of the way from any people at all.
I've walked in the Galloway Hills all day sometimes, and not seen a soul...

I'm off to Arran on Saturday for half-term week, so also looking forward to some Scottish landscapes

I'd seen the amazing goal on U-tube... but I think this reaction is even better !

I love the statue (Simpson). Must catch up properly with the story...

Colour for me. I like the contrasts.
