I went to the opening of the Brentwood Museum Photography 'themed' show and took a few snaps on my K10D -- I still USE a lot of the gear on show -- it made me feel a 'Bit Old' ----

Thanks -- I don' t increase the 'Saturation# either just check the 'Levels' but I usually get the exposure RIGHT after many years of taking Slide Snaps starting in late 1950's with 'Ferraniacolor'
By the way -- a member of Brentwood Photographic Club who is trying to get work as a 'Freelance' got there BEFORE me and when I got back from picking Wife up from Church and started uploading HE had already got a photo on 'Flickr' AND on the 'Breaking News' of the Brentwood Gazette Web-site -- I was amazed as I thought all the Gazette Staff were at Church for Easter Sunday but then I got a message from him saying the Gazette had used it without his permission and cropped out his Copyright Logo !! They must have seen it on his Agency site .They have just made ALL their STAFF Photographers redundant and want to rely of FREE photos from readers and suchlike and us struggling Freelancers are all out of work.

Officers arrested a 25-year-old man from Brentwood on suspicion of robbery following an incident shortly before 5am this Easter Sunday.

A man was robbed of his mobile phone on William Hunter Way and police closed the road whilst they investigated.

There WAS damage to a Police car --that was the unmarked one in Pic .

I did take MORE of course but thought the KFC one was a bit funny -- see what you mean about about the Clergyman -- probably wants to be seen as 'Street Cred' with his jeans .

this year the Annual WALK OF WITNESS in BRENTWOOD started from the Catholic Cathedral. Here it looks as if they are going into the KFC for a 'quick snack' but after a Service in the Beckett Chapel Ruins the walkers processed to the United Reform Church for Refreshments
