One of the first shots i tried on my "previous" best camera.
Plonked on the floor, using the flip out lcd screen to frame the shot.

possibly the only good thing about winter is the brief period around the solstice when the sun sets low and weak behind the reedbeds at the london wetland centre. you can shoot straight into the light without burning your retinas (too much) or blowing out the shot. the glow through the reed heads is lovely.

great shots.

This photo is nothing special in terms of content, technical ability.

It only came into my possession a few weeks ago, until then I did'nt even know it existed. Taken just over 32 years ago in Catterick Garrison. It's is one of a few photos that were taken at the time, and as I said, I had no idea they were taken. But this is my favourite of the bunch:

Slide show of some of my collages. Had to lower the quality so my video card could cope, without it becoming too jerky.

Full of character! (and lard, by the look of it.)

Bread soaked in water, or sometimes raisens soaked in water ... it keeps the young blackbirds occupied while i snap away!!

I wish i'd switched over to manual control, maybe even 5 x bracketed shots to create an hdr of this one.
Nice bit of sun hitting the reeds.

here's a reed shot from december 2010... probably a week too early, but it snowed for most of the month after this!

and there is this one from a few years ago

This was near Delamere Forest last month. I've got some digital treatments going on, obviously.

I'd not noticed there was a photography forum as well… mind you, I'm going to stay away from it I think. I've 'lost' two days of my life on here already! Plus someone in the Flickr group I watch has been the victim of some fairly heavy duty stalking, personal abuse and even DDOS attacks on her professional photography website just because she said that the Fuji X10 was quite a good little camera on the wrong forum. Not sure if it was to do with the forum having a commercial interest in a rival brand or just pompous 'gear-heads' being insecure about their cam choice, but either way it took a little bit of the fun out of my new camera when I read all that.

Have you got an X10? I'm lusting after one at the moment. It reminds me of my first ever camera which was a Russian thing called a FED.
