I hope Tony is reading this Algi. He'll find it as funny as I did

Yes, thanks Barrie. I didn't, but a friend of Mrs Snap had told her so we booked it. The site also gave a list of reasons why she may not see them too, but as I said Fingers Crossed

I've just noticed I've had over 1500 posts and I always thought I was a person of few words

Last time I was there was in the mid fifties ( the years not my age) and I have a vague memory of being disappointed Mrs Snap has never been and hopes to see the pandas. Fingers crossed for that

We are visiting Edinburgh Zoo 26th September. Any one know if there are any restrictions on photography. I wouldn't be using a flash.

Like the "expression" in number 3 but all nice images

Still a young pup then

I had a spectrum or two and the bits and bobs that went with it, interface 1, microdrives etc. This was all superceded by a Victor 286 with a 10 mb hard drive and 640 kb of ram. Also had an Interak Z80 based, a modular system which was built up a board at a time. Happy Days

Think this should be in the pointless thread

My first Dslr camera was a used ist*DL2 and after using it a few times and enjoying the advatages of digital I short listed three DSLR cameras (D90 a Canon and the K7) all of a similar price but at the end the day the fact I had some old sigma pentax k fit lenses swung the deal for me. Bought the K7 and now have a K5 as well and a few more lenses. Of course I'd like to try other brands but am perfectly happy with what I have, and to change now and replace everything would be too expensive anyway.

Every one of them really super and I can't choose between them as to which I like most. The detail you have caught is incredible.

Wow Alan, you must have got a lot closer in the afternoon. All excellent and Cuckoo and Snack is my favourite

ps. more convinced than ever now
