I've used them a couple of times, you get great value over xmas & new year with extended hire and low charges - they're coming to present at our camera club next month and I'm sure will get lots of business :)

I think I've added a few poppy fields, one of them the lilac opium ones and a lavender field. Oh and a place for showdrops (I made the pushpin turquoise for now) :)

Hi yes, I drove to the same location today (in the pouring rain) to check they were still there. The original field doesn't have them, but on the other side of the road further up there is a HUGE field of flowering poppies, I'll be back tomorrow :)

Wow, these are stunning images. I went out in search of Lilac poppies near Pitt in Hampshire today, but it was so wet they were all looking a little worse for wear. Can't wait for the sun to shine so I can get back there. Where in Hampshire did you take yours ? Cheers Joan

Well, I found my dream field of poppies today and thought I'd share the location with you. Sadly they aren't flowering anymore, the flowers all dropped about 10 days ago. It is a HUGE field and is just off the A390 shortly after South Winchester golf club [SO22 5QW] on the opposite side of the...

Hi Stephen, you're right I saw this last year and didn't manage to see them. I spent about 3 hours late afternoon today driving aroung Hampshire (with a list of locations I've put together from various websites) looking for the lilac poppies produced for medicinal purposes as they are so pretty...

hi, can anyone point me in the direction of any poppy fields in Hampshire please ? Cheers Joan

You're a star ! The update thumbnail option worked and I can see them all again :) What does that actually do ? Take Care Joan

hi, I've just downloaded all my recent pictures and the Organiser is able to see the CR2 files fine BUT still can't see the ones already on my external picture drive, of which there are MANY :( Not sure how to access them now as it seems a little more confusing now. Cheers Joan

Hi Paul, it's in the Elements Oragniser that they are greyed out. Bizarre, as PSE is clearly able to recognize them as I can open them in PSE Editor. Ho Hum, just taken hundreds of 'big cat' shots today that I was hoping to load into PSE too :( Cheers Joan

oops I think I posted this in the wrong place initially :( hi, I've just installed PSE 7 on my new Windows 7 (64 bit) Dell and have replaced the ACR with 5.5 and can open all images, including my CR2 files from my Canon 50d. Although I can edit them with ACR from within PSE the thumbnails are...

hi, I've just installed PSE 7 on my new Windows 7 (64 bit) Dell and have replaced the ACR with 5.5 and can open all images, including my CR2 files from my Canon 50d. Although I can edit them with ACR from within PSE the thumbnails are all just greyed out images. Am I missing a vital piece of...

hiya, I was there today for several hours taking pictures of the bluebells. As well as the lovely wood on the right as you go along Northington Lane which are perfect as there's a slight incline, there are loads of them in the woods near the main car park. We took bikes so we could get to all...

I've finally decided on the Manfrotto 190XPROB with 804RC2 and have just ordered them from Morris Photographic along with lots of other bits n pieces, I can't wait for it all to arrive :) Joan

I think you're right I may have been comparing just the legs !!! The deal you mention is the one on offer at a shop I went to at the weekend and he almost convinced me. It was then I started to read about the PRO and thought perhaps I should go for that instead, ho hum, decisions decisions :)
