    Greenwich Tall-Ships Regatta......

    Back again folks :) The light was horrendous, dismal grey cloud with occasional wet stuff dropping out.... The reason the rigging-shot is fuzzy, is likely due to the distance at the time, 'twas hand-held after all ;)

    The worst photo I've ever taken!

    It's a pity about that floodlight, but I suspect that getting closer to the rig to lose the glare would then barrel-distort the trailer. A good piccie though, all the same :) These are the first pics I took with my then-new Nikon P610, waaay back in Sept. 2015. I'd been sat drumming my...

    B*stards!

    Sadly it's another example of why stocks and/or the pillory should be brought back as a punishment, I'd get great pleasure from pelting dross like them with rotting stuff, not necessarily rotting fruit or veg either :bat:

    English Electric Lightning.

    I can well believe it with the sub-sonics from the back end of a Lightning, it could be hard to breathe sometimes just from the pressure-waves from those engines :D

    English Electric Lightning.

    Yep, the Lightning often flew at the early Biggin Hill displays, it's usual trick was to sneak in quietly just (a faint whistling sound) as the previous planes left the area, then when about halfway along the crowd-line perform the fastest 90 degree vertical climb I've ever seen, while...

    Which PC / laptop / Mac?

    I'm using the PC I built myself 3ish years ago, based on an AMD Piledriver 3.8GHz quad-core processor and an NVidia GTX-950, along with 8Gb RAM, all lovingly hand-crafted in a 'Corsair Silent' case .... :D I cannot stand Apple, but each to his/her own ;)

    Have you ever taken a photo and cannot understand why you like it?

    One of the things I discovered when I joined my local photo-club a couple o' years ago, is just how subjective photos are. After entering piccies in the various competitions held through the year and having them examined by outside 'professional' judges, a pic I entered into 2 competitions came...

    The pain of photography

    35~40 years of cycling in/around London has now left me with COPD and, thanks to countless mash-offs, arthritis in my left limbs (so much for saving the planet! :LOL:) - No way could I carry my old bag full of gear (2 camera bodies, 3 lenses, motor-film-winder plus umpteen filters) so a decent...

    Are DSLRs too complex for beginners

    It was to a certain point, but it gave me a good grounding in dial-twiddling, along with which scene-settings were useless (i.e. 'Sunset' completely over-saturates the colours) :LOL:

    What will be your next photography related purchase? Or what photography gear do you lust after?

    The only thing I'm lusting for is some warm sunny weather to photograph in, rather than this dismally dull, flat sky with mizzling rain.... Unless of course Nikon or someone develops a new camera with a 40Mpx sensor and a lens that can range from 25mm to 1800mm at f2.8 throughout, ohh and...
