It would be a good idea to e-mail the admin office with results so they can see what 'enthusiast Photographers' actually TAKE in shopping malls-- I bet they think anyone with a camera is stealing 'copyright designs' of shops or taking photos of children.

YES -- RAMC ( Rob All My Comrades) 23250788 Corporal Elgar, Pathology Laboratory in Military Hospitals.

YES -- that is ME giving my 'Benny Hill' salute !! Proud about Wifey getting Front Page -- I got an extra cup of tea and cuddle !

I attended the annual Brentwood Remembrance Sunday Parade in my 'Veteran's Gear' ( Best Boots and all that ) and I took the photos in the Church and my Wife took a set outdoors and got Front Page of the Brentwood Yellow Advertiser and they didn't use any of MINE !! Then 11th of 11th Month is 'Armistice Day'so I went back to the War Memorial with my K10D using ISO 400 and 'RAW' files and shot a few as there was a large crowd this year of even more Youngsters from Schools around the Borough so I show a couple == by the way -- hope you don't mind but have included one of ME with the Mayor taken by Wife that was used inside the YA on Page 3 with others of hers.

Hi Stewart : well long time no see !! Now NO MORE WORK given out to Freelancers by the Gazette -- the Staff Photographers have to do it all and are run off their feet ---- even Chief Photographer Mike Rose was made redundant and lost his job together with long time Reporter Pete ( What's 'is Name -- ) -- I did over 90,000 miles on that Capri rushing around on Press Jobs -- all over Billericay as well as Brentwood ! Then I got a Diesel Ford Escort then Renault Scenic and finally a Toyota Corolla. I still do 'Darkroom Work' and get lots of camera gear GIVEN to me -- saved lots form the council DUMP !!

Out testing my Home-Made 'Microphen' film developer formula -- cut and processed 11 frames on this set -- I was in Brentwood High Street, the Beckett Chapel Ruins with my lovely 'Gift' 1975 Asahi Pentax Spotmatic F loaded with 03/2005 Ilford FP4+ I processed in 1+1 dilution for 9.5 mins at 21oC .
'Back Lighting is No Probs for the 50mm f1.4 SMC Takumar !!


Busker moved behind Old Couple and got him with 150mm f4 SMC takumar,


Girl came and sat on seat by Busker -- got her 'On the Move' with 24mm f3.5 SMC Takumar @ 1/500th

thought I had scanned this before but evidently NOT so here it is now ! I was experimenting with Still-Life on shiny paper used for presents, Camera was 6x7 Mk II, lens was 135mm f4 SMC Macro-Takumar, lighting was [bMultiblitz Profilites][/b], Film was Outdated Kodak Ektachrome EPP 100 that I got for 10 pence for FIVE at Jessops Basildon as the girl there didn't know what it was !!
