David - it's openly accessible - no payment required

Silly suggestion - but you never know it might work.

I was away and had swapped lenses from the Tammy to the 40mmLtd since I wanted to play with it between the showers.

Switched it on and also found the flashing F , and wouldn't take any shots - had a real panic attack I can tell you and then decided to check that I had actually managed to get the lens tightly on - no it wasn't Re-seated lens and all was well.

It's worth a try - but I expect you have already thought of that one

With attitudes like this from a Council I can't help wondering just how long before they put wardens / jobsworths on the street to stop us taking pics just in case we happen to catch some folk unawares and they can't run screaming away.

Well - I'll certainly be writing to the local rag about this .

After all if you are focussing on wild flowers etc you are most unlikely to catch passing people in your shot - and also I find that if folk see you are trying to compose a reasonable picture they do try and wait or make sure that they don't intrude on what they think you are photographing.

That was my feeling David

I get the feeling this is going to cause a lot of bad publicity for South Lanarkshire Council [ yes it's where I live ]

Read and shudder

There is actually a piccie of him in the local rag - with his camera hanging round his neck = can't see the camera but the strap is a Pentax one and reputedly he worked for the BBC .

Of course the mistake was asking for permission , but in a way I can understand why he did so .

OOPS Gwyn - that's not nice Commiserations.

I have a friend going to Brussels for the weekend - and he's not terribly optimistic about good weather there either

Thanks Gwyn - spot on

I'm starting to play with PSE - but I can't seem to get the depth of colour that Mike is managing.

Actually I got a telling off later when it was spotted that I didn't have a CPL on - I was told it would help with the ghastly grey skies we had .

Once all these decorator men have gone I'll be able to sit down and deal with the pics and put them on my Gallery .

Here are the other 2 - straight from the camera

Urgh - well they really didn't the expert was diverted onto other stuff But I'm slowly starting to play with it

Mike - just what did you do to that ? I'd already edited it a bit - and the others still need to be done ?

I really couldn't believe my luck getting it - it was just looking at me and once the camera was up I didn't dare move .

As to the deer - I think it's a young one as the antlers are still a bit woolley / fluffy . I'd never have got it with the 18-55 - so this proves that the Tammy is my holiday lens for all trips in future
