IT'S SNOWING.. YAY!!!

Well said, Mr Gumba, Sir.

You bordering on being a Scot, have you the faintest idea what the stupid little prat is trying to say?

[Pete]

Sadly Nick he's not talking scots so I can't translate.

If anyone else on here speaks utter shit however they may be able to help.

Unlikely.

We might have to pop over to Digital Spy for a translator.

Even they talk less bollocks than this person

Off topic a little, what camera did you use to take those photos with, Lobster?

the camera i use must be 2 and a half years old now, it's a pentax optio 550.

the great thing about this camera which i'll definately be looking for when i eventually upgrade within the next year is the number of manual options and how close you can get to the lense in macro mode.

the trailing light effect you can see on the photo you highlighted was really simply done on a 5 second exposure.

it's funny to see how many drivers slow down when they see a bloke in black with a tripod pointing it along the road!

Thanks for the info. I bet you paid alot for it when it first came out - it's a 5Mp jobbie from the information I can glean from Google.

The current Sony camera I have has horrible problems with colour alignment on parts of the image - I sometimes get an effect you see when you look at a newspaper when the colour separations have slid out of alignment. And despite being on its highest quality setting, the JPEG compressions is a bit obvious.

However on its plus side it has a manual and macro mode, which, like you say is useful.

I tried the streaky traffic effect on a 2 second exposure and here's what I got. I don't have a tripod, so I used the next best thing - stuck my camera on a crash barrier, which you can just see out of shot in the 1st image. Although I'd love to have a tripod, it's not exactly portable or discreet, and you can't stick it in your pocket. Plus this area is fairly chav ridden too.

Had a pitiful amount of snow at home. Although rumours of more tonight...





Went for a walk today starting in a nearby village, where they film The Vicar of Dibley incidentally. Not much snow here either although there was a few days back.

Is your daddy a millionaire as well as a knight of the realm?

Recently acquired a few extra achers, complete with marauding sheep.

You should come round sometime.

May I also refer to Dusty's first reply and my response here

Being hit in the crotch by marauding sheep would certainly give you a couple of achers.

I think you meant acres - but now you own land you needn't worry about spelling.

[rts]

Can't believe I mispolt that. We haven't really bought land And if we had I wouldn't brag about it on here.

Unfortunately sheep is the only thing I can think of when it comes to Jamez! Who incidentally has a rather nice pad himself IIRC?
