It has the look of a rabbit caught in a headlight. A bit odd for me.

the third shot looks odd because the eye is very good at picking up even slight discrepancies. While the Verticals are close to parallel and the measurements in the horizontal at each floor level are also equal. our eyes easily pick out that the length of each floor along the angle is mot but...

I wonder if the draw is entirely by chance, or if it is biased to give an even spread of numbers as winners. Chance is almost always "lumpy"

My March win was £600 this month only£75 it all averages out over the year. Really big wins are the rare exception that most of us never experience. Had two blank months last year.

Bits cut off at the edges of images delineate a natural frame or window, which we take for granted in the real world. Impressionist artists used it all the time.

What a dystopian set of images this thread has come up with. Environment without life is just sad.

Phones are now far more effective at taking family snaps for social media and sharing than an other sort of camera. However high quality cameras are still needed for evey field of specialised photography. Whether amateur or professional. If all you want is something to record your memories...

I always buy batteries at least by the dozen. Then the prices are really low. I buy over 90% of everything on line these days.

If they do that then it is illegal. However I have never experienced that myself. No doubt that if they were caught, they would lose the goods and be prosecuted. As grey importers are operating to countries all over the world and at an industrial scale. It would hardly be worth the risk...

The real world experience suggests that any advantages that shops might have, has long since been overtaken by the advantages of online sales. There is no possibility that this situation will be reversed. That horse has already left the stable. However online sales procedures must improve both...

Retail trading has been going through a COMPLETE transition. Most "STUFF" can be bought on line at a cheaper price and with next day delivery. HAIRCUTS can not be bought on line. Highstreet outlets need to have a high degree of personal service and hands on elements to be able to thrive. This...

Most Victorian church interiors are very much the same and not that interesting. However the exceptions can be high Victorian "medieval"monstroucitis... Which exude bad taste, but can be very interesting.

A very typical Victorian church. A vast number of which are now being added to the redundant list. There is no way that the tiny congregations can continue to fund their up keep, which is staggeringly expensive.

At the very least old fim cameras can be a valuable source of spare parts. However many point and shoots are not worth the cost of repairing. Which is also true of most low end SLR's. They are simply not worth the repairers time and effort.
