So do I now you've said "Fuckkkkk! I live near there......".

I am firmly of the opinion that quoting a whole series of images for no apparent reason is cretinous.

Keep the camera.

Looks fine to me.

Oooh APS - I remember getting one of them - and it was so much easier than 35mm. Changed days, I prob wouldn't even know how to work an APS one now

Well, the ''delay'' is all to do with the exposure really. If you are taking a photo in very dark conditions then your camera will try to compensate for that, resulting in anything up to a few seconds between pressing the button and capturing a photo. If you're taking it in bright sunlight then the delay should be significantly less apparent.

You really don't want to be taking photos in dark conditions without a flash, without using a tripod.

Mine lets me manually adjust focus/exposure/aperture, etc, rather than leave it on auto pilot so it can decide what it thinks looks best for itself. If you look back to the photos on p.1 by the lake, they were all taken within 30 seconds of each other, just on different exposure rates, so they all look like different times in the evening.

As for ''poor quality when zoomed close up'', are you sure that's not because you've got digital zoom turned on? If so, turn the damn thing off, it does nothing more than zooming in on a computer would - worsen the image quality. Leave it to the optical zoom to get closer.

That comment reveals to us all why YOU are not in a relationship.

Is yours locked in the cellar just in case she looks at another bloke?

You have missed the point. There is a difference between looking at another person and making an effort to communicate with them in a specific way.

All Miss Hellfire seems to do is exchange smutty banter with Troutie, I can only assume she isn't getting enough affection at home.

I have a real issue with this picture.

It's happening all over the country.

Councils putting giant flower boxes on railings next to pedestrian crossings, obscuring the view of on-coming traffic, so you actually have to bend into the road to see if there is anything coming.

Why, I ask you?

Well, what do a few road deaths or serious injuries matter if the local council can make it into the final of Britain in Bloom?

Erm, why don't you step back from the road, instead of forward?

Because there are normally about 5 or more people crossing the road, and if they're standing behind you waiting they're likely to feel somewhat put out by someone standing on their leg.

And it doesn't make any difference. The plants are such that they are entirely along the railings, so even stepping backwards just results in yet more flora.

Plus, it is a lot easier to lean forward than it is to lean backwards.

I have never noticed that there!
