OK so i feel suitably guilty at being harsh.
We'll let you tell us about it BUT only in piccies….Taken of it and with it!
I hope by that you mean you used the F4 to take a suitable photograph, and you don't mean it was your subject?Tested the F4 and used it for pics for this months comp plus next month's decay...QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]I hope by that you mean you used the F4 to take a suitable photograph, and you don't mean it was your subject?
well the F4 could be the subject as in at least one thing it is of no use to me compared to a Canon T90 (and even a £8 camera I have off the bay)........h'mm this could start a Nikon\Canon war
It's one of the downsides when a thread goes a bit 'quiet': After the initial impetus, regular postings cease (in this case, probably in favour of posting the sort of photo that would have appeared on this thread on F&C 'meet-up/holiday' type threads instead?). No mugshots appear, or appear very sporadically, then one particular and possibly somewhat off topic (in this case, possibly depending on your definition of nutters with cameras) post occurs, and for some reason people have the urge to reply.Preferably NOT on this thread!!!
<grump>(The trouble with long, off topic diversions is that the thread refreshes, so looks interesting FOR ITS TOPIC. At least with a thread about shooting moonshots of canon/Nikon, those of us who don't care can easily ignore the thread. Sorry, but I have found this diversion profoundly annoying. In retrospect, I should have clicked "report" way back, but this is F&C and it seemed unsporting.)</grump>

Before you know it, the thread is off in a different direction. If you find this annoying then be prepared for a love-hate relationship with internet forums, as it happens on all of them. If some kind and benevolent force of administration (@Cobra @The Big Yin) were to take action and restore things by splitting this thread into two then I'm sure we'd all be very grateful. If not, then let it be, perhaps as a standing stone style monolith to nutters with cameras and their ramblings.
Short diversions are fine, AFAICS but 80-odd OT posts, as someone mentioned, is way OTT IMHO!
No apologies necessary from anyone, I'm as guilty as the other contributors. Just laying down a mark that I'd personally prefer we kept a bit more on topic. Short diversions are fine, AFAICS but 80-odd OT posts, as someone mentioned, is way OTT IMHO!
Don't worry Chris I have reported you for being too considerate.Preferably NOT on this thread!!!

I can see the join now! Anyway, perhaps it's in keeping with the sort of evidence allegedly presented by some 1970s detectives?It was even worse before I moved you closer to Dave
From the Edinburgh meet, many moons (sorry to mention moons again) ago:

@Andysnap and @steveo_mcg I believe?
Yeah I thought that was the "rarely-seen" @robhooley167 !Looks like @robhooley167 to me, carrying his "lethal weapon of choice!"
Apologies to @robhooley167 It as the BIG Mamiya that confused me.
Anyone seen or heard of @steveo_mcg I haven't seen him on the Forum for a while. Forum software says last seen in January....
Who just said 'Hey, four-eyes!" ?So, to get things very much back on track........

I'd be up for that as long as someone had a gas detector, I've seen video from those tanks (at least I think it was the same ones).I wasn't sure where to post this as they aren't members here, so please indulge me.
In spring last year I went on an LF day with Simon and Keith via Ffordes. I knew Simon from on eof my training courses, but not photographically. We did some shots that might be classed as Urbex, whereupon Simon told me about the local underground oil tanks and showed me a photo he had taken with multiple flashes with the camera shutter open. My claustrophobia wouldn't let me go with him, but he's been back with his pal Dave and they're on the BBC website today. I know that @sirch does caving, but I'm terrified just watching this 1 minute video.
