Sorry to hear of your encounter. At least they "only" took your camera equipment. With knives, it could have been much worse. I don't know if you're aware of the Stolen Camera Finder website (link below), but if you drag one of your saved (digital) photos onto the site, it searches the web...

Very nice. Reminds me of this... http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/view/206699/

My order (Tokina 11-16mm) went ok. Delivery a little slow (checking delivery status on the DHL tracking website seemed to show my parcel being sat in Hong Kong for over a week), but otherwise no major problems. I'd ordered before I read reviews suckered in by the great price (foolish, and...

This is Bruno, a rescue dog from Yorkshire Rose Dog Rescue who I've had since 1st May 2011 after I lost my previous dog (Boz) in April to a liver tumour. These shots were taken on holiday in Cornwall. This classic portrait is Bruno on a walk doing his best "look how handsome I am" face...

A couple of the better shots taken during the flying display at "World of Wings" bird of prey centre at Cumbernauld in Scotland. A lot of the photos I took had wings cropped off at the edge of frame or missed focussing on the bird resulting in a lovely landscape shot with a brown blur in the...

Some quite dramatic clouds over Skipton this evening. Original image has been manipulated using monochromia for the iphone. It's maybe a little overdone (blown highlights), but what can I say - I just love contrasty B&W images. embiggen

Excellent idea. Count me in please. Now... subject matter... It's going to have to be a landscape, and I'm 99% confident that it will involve trees (or possibly a dry stone wall). Here's hoping that the weather will be better than I had for the meets at Kirkby Lonsdale & Ingleton :)

Excellent spoof news article... http://newsarse.com/2010/08/06/terrorists-sick-of-being-treated-like-photographers/

nice little photography freebie: Vint B&W. Creates "vintage" B&W shots. No controls to fiddle with (which is both good and bad), just take a photo and convert it to B&W. For games, I can also recommend Cat Physics and also Doodle God

That's sorted it. Thanks for the assistance. Off to play with it now...

I've got an old A460 and have obtained and installed CHDK. I can access all the new funky menus, but how do you do the "intervalometer" thing? I can't figure it out!

I'd taken my iPhone out to take a photo (which turned out to be rubbish when I eventually got round to taking it), but I accidentally pressed the button and took a photo of the ground with my foot just encroaching from the bottom of the frame as I was walking along. It's odd, but I like it...

Thanks for everyone for arranging another fun day out. Shame about the weather which did give me a little bit of a "sense of humour failure" part way round, but at least the 'falls were nice and full. Anyway, here's a quick selection of some of my shots from the day (the ones that weren't...
