:lol: awww, well if you like you can always ask me and I will do it for you hun

[Yorkshire And Lincolnshire]

Ooo I see you went up the notorious Steep Hill, I have heard about that many a time, you got some good shots there Jake!

[Coast Guard Helicopter]

You get some great views round your way don't you! I love watching ships come in when I am down at the Coast

Thanks for sharing Cookie, nice to see you are still out with your camera.

Any chance you can reduce them down next time you post to 1200 x 800 ish, they will load quicker

[Today's Weather And General Chat]

Yet another glorious start to the day, albeit chilly with temps currently at 6c, very still with the tiniest of breezes and not a cloud in the sky.

[What kit do you use?]

Just had a quick scoot through and came across 'Lady orchid flower detail, Oxfordshire, 2009' Love it! simpley love it.

I have done a bit of floral macro which as you said kills the back, so I tend to use the live view on the canon or buy some flowers and take the pics at the table.

If you don't mind will have a look through all your work

[What kit do you use?]

Would be interested to see your Macro work!

I think my next purchase will be a macro slide, will stop all the back and forth of the camera or tripod business, also would love alittle light box.

Cookie will post his pics as soon as he has sorted them

[British Wildlife Centre]

I forgot to say, I did capture a picture of the lesser spotted camera frog, but don't think I should post the picture without her permission, but needless to say the lesser spotted camera frog is a very very rare breed, one of a kind, and can only be found at the BW centre on a sunday every now and then

[Today's Weather And General Chat]

What a difference a day makes eh?

Glorious sunshine, temp currently 14c, just a whisper of a breeze

[Today's Weather And General Chat]

Dull boring windless dry, although did get a bit muggy around dinner time. Top temp was 19c

[British Wildlife Centre]

Frog and I decided to take a visit here....

If you are ever down this way pop in there, it's not a big place but great all the same

great little place and a great chance to get some pics that you wouldn't normally get chance to take.

[Your Random Photographs]

They look like water droplets on a CDR to me.... Great idea too. Awesome shots..

They are gives you a great effect!

[Netweather Storm Chase BBQ 2010]

Well I shall make sure I don't break my foot next year! I might be brave enough to come and annoy you all

[Australia Red Dust Storms (Merged Thread)]

The footage on tv this morning was awesome, must have been really scarey to wake up to though. Would have given Joe's right testical to have been there with my camera.

[Riat 18/7/09]

Second one is my favourite, great shots all round

[Storm Reports July 09']

Passed through a couple of storms today both around Swindon, first one around 11.30 torrential rain some nice lightning, and pretty much the same as we left for home, just out side Swindon about 12.30.

[Thursday / Friday Storm Discussion]

[Storm Reports July 09']

Storm quickly approaching from the south west, booming thunder.

[Bugging Me]

Oooooo Well done Flaggywoo :lol: so Froggy didn't find a new and exotic bug then *sigh*

You're most welcome Lulu. I have seen many such 'things' before...Unfortunately, mate - I've no idea what it is! laugh.gif

Just as well Flaggy isn't as unhelpful as you :lol:

may-be a new pet im thinking...

I shall hug him and squeeze him and name him George

[Bugging Me]

Well thanks Pete, how very helpful of you. Have you ever seen a 'Thing' before?

[Storm Reports July 09']

yet another few flash bangs with a heafty shower dropping 5mm so far.

[Bugging Me]

can't say I have either, it really is a weird little chappy, stuck to the leaf, rather alien looking

[Bugging Me]

Frog found this and we wondered what it is, any ideas?

[Storm Reports July 09']

another few rumbles here at the mo, not seen any lightning though.

[Storm Reports July 09']
