Yes, I plan to get my camera in for a full sensor clean when I'm back in the UK, I don't believe it's ever been done.

Thanks, it was indeed a beautiful day. I did think about taking the mast out, but I'm not a fan of overly changing photos.

A couple from this morning at El Moncayo. I've only recently started going full manual but it helped getting this shot. Love the early morning light in Spain, this was not long after sunrise.

Took my restored CBR600 for its MOT today, needless to say it passed. Going out for breakfast tomorrow but can't decide between my Ducati 900ss and Benelli Tornado TRE900 [emoji16] hard life eh?

I was on a very wide aperture as it was very dark in there, I guess I could have bumped the ISO up..

Thanks, I really wanted to capture the strong colours of the scene, exactly what I was hoping for.

Interested to hear people's thoughts on a couple of shots I took on Clacton pier last week. They aren't especially complex shots, but it was quiet and fairly dark on the pier, and I'm trying to develop my skills using a flash. I love the way the flash reflects off the horses nose.

Yah, they aren't for everyone! I'm a biker so everyone is used to seeing me in leather (though normally a one piece suit) Interestingly if you spend proper money to get good quality (my pair was £100 nearly 10 years ago) and go to an expert to get a proper fit for your body type they look a...

I know what you mean, but there is an easy way. I have four bikes and a car, so I have to keep quite organised with insurance. I use the Yahoo mail app on my phone which makes it super easy to set up folders. I have a folder called 'insurance documents' which is where all of my email...

The public insurance database is not updated as quickly as the one the PO use for tax - that one is instantaneous where as the public accessible one can take up to ten days - sometimes more.

About 10 years ago I bought some leather jeans from a shop in Camden. Carefully chosen they do not look odd (don't go too tight / loose or too shiny) and are extremely comfortable. I haven't worn them in ages but they were awesome in winter when worn with a chunky jumper, would be ideal for...

Yikes, get well soon. [emoji15][emoji53]

My first proper camera was my Canon 400D which is my current DSLR. My first camera capable of taking a semi reasonable shot was a Haminex 35mm compact when I was about 12.. Of course back then there were no mobile phones or any other way of taking a photo, but it seemed like a step up from...

Couple of recent ones from me, black and white shot on a Zenit TTL using Kodak T-Max 100, and the colour is Colorama 200 expired 2003 in a Zenit B. In both cases it was shot with a Helios 44.

It was a tongue in cheek reference to their complete lack of grip [emoji12] Gotta love Chinese ditch finders!
