Setting one looks great. Looks a very, very useful feature. What sort of interval between shots? Did movement of the vegetation show up?

Nice pictures. A shame to blur them out as these pics are not for corporate/commercial use.

I think Martin has done the best with this, by a long way, and his crops imrove the composition no end.... however - sorry lil Andy - I don't think manipulation can really disguise how the on-board flash creates unflattering results in this sort of scenario.

Ebay's monopoly: link

Quote:
If the market cannot break eBay’s monopoly there will need to be government intervention. Partly this is because a monopoly is not in the public interest. An equally important reason is that the internet, and eBay in particular, have been important in the development of new small businesses. A lot of people have started their own business on eBay and that needs to be encouraged. Governments have an interest in promoting entrepreneurship by encouraging free markets and auctions are a particularly good way for people to start in business. eBay should not be allowed to behave in such a way that it damages that process. If the US and UK governments are not willing to act it may be a matter for EU intervention.

Nasty. Notice how the older buildings and the bridge are built well clear of the flood level!

Thankfully the Avon isn't affected, although I have had my fair share of problems living on it, in my boat, over the past couple of years.

I hope not Mike, it's quite exciting when an auction takes off!

Every sold anything for a huge amount that's taken you by surprise?
And conversely, absolute bargains are possible with an auction. The new trend seems to be to list something for a huge BIN amount, and just keep relisting it until someone 'bites'. This isn't great news for buyers though.

I guess the problem is 'work-roundable', but it's annoying that yet again sensible people are being inconvenienced because of a gullible clueless minority who are too inept to take P&P charges into consideration when they bid!
