  1. hi Hanne

    dunno mate probaly so if you,ve got the right gear etc

    last i heard over on the popastro forums present calcs gives it a miss by about 21000Km,but hey ya never know

    talking of which grabbed this from accuweather

    The asteroid headed for Mars has been big news recently. Did you know that another asteroid, dubbed 2007 TU24, will make a "close" pass to Earth the day before 2007 WD5 is predicted to either pass near or strike Mars? No need to worry, TU24 isn't on a collision course with Earth, but the asteroid will be close enough for some photo opportunities as it passes through the constellation Cassiopeia at around magnitude 10. TU24 is one of the "PHA's" (Potentially Hazardous Asteroids"), of which there are currently more than 900. On January 29th, TU24 will come about 1.4 Lunar distances from Earth. A lunar distance is just how it sounds, its the distance between the earth and the moon (238,866.78 miles). Multiply that by 1.4 to figure out how far TU24 will be from us on January 29th.

    this a doozy of a site one of my favs

    Thanks blackdown...I agree great site!

  2. Exactly :good:

    But don't get me wrong.. I do enhance some photo's but in an abstract ie black and white with a tad of the original colour...

    post-164-1198955716_thumb.jpg

    I love stuff like that .We get the kids school photos done in b/w or even sepia.Photos seem more thought provoking and dramatic when colour isn't the issue.Maybe that's because I have a poor eye for blue/green shades and therefore prefer stong red and purple images on the colour snaps and is probably also where my liking for the enhanced ones began.

  3. But that is the challenge Phil, tis like fishing for Carp, Would be much easier to go to an over stocked lake with fair to middling sized fish, yes you will catch and you will catch lots but there isnt that challenge not like going to an old estate lake where there is a couple of huge fish, that you have sit and wait for, weeks at a time.... but when you do catch that fish its the best buzz ever and its the same with photography for me.. when I do get that shot I want its the best feeling!!

    I Get you!For me being a keen gardener I prefer to grow my annuals from seed and am chuffed when I grow a nice specimen as opposed to going to the garden centre and buying off the shelf type of thing.

  4. Yes it does, can't deny that, but it doesn't even represent what I saw with the naked eye

    Yeah I get what you mean but isn't enhancement a large part of even pro photography? as you can wait an awful long time for that perfect shot.Fashion photos seem to be complete enhancement as they rarely bear any resemblance to the actual person who was snapped.

  5. Here are two pictures, post-164-1198878145_thumb.jpgpost-164-1198878173_thumb.jpg

    The first one unedited other than cropping the second the brightness adjusted on it..

    Yes the second one looks far more dramatic, but I have to say there was no challenge or satisfaction in producing the second one, it also looks nothing like the cloud did to the eye.

    Enhancing pics is great fun I can't deny that, its nice to see what you could have got, but to me the real enjoyment of photography is seeing something you think would look good, and getting that shot. As I did with my lasses picture, she was just sat there looking all moody and grumpy because I wasn't taking any notice as I was mucking about with the camera, thought that would make a great shot, snap :D very happy louby!

    No'2 stills looks great though Lou :good:

  6. I just think that the word 'Ow'l is very funny in it's own right....Owl...it just has an amusing ring about it. Say it over and over again and you can't help but smile. Owl owl owly owly owl. :lol: Right that's me cheered up!

    Edit - actually a friend of a friend got attacked by an Eagle Owl about a month ago, that cheered me up too!

    So It pays your be your pal? :):)

  7. Don`t bother releasing wolf back to the wild ,try releasing something that tastes goood and dosn`t need hours of plucking!!!!!!!

    ohhh wild boar for starters !!!

    Serious note !!!

    To all of you who keep blaming farmers for protecting thier lively hoods then think how you would feel if all what you worked for gets distroyed every night , and it will take you a year to get that stock back again !!!!

    Bet you would try to control what is ruining your income to!!!!!

    leave country folk in the country and put the concrete clingons in the towns

    Aye but STOXS it can be a moneyspinner too.Lord Bath keeps wolves and Lions and he's managing.I expect he's got the odd sheep also.From a 'Grandson of a farmer and rural type.'

  8. I suppose they were here up untill very recently and without human persecution would've still been a naturalised species.I do feel however it would require constant monitoring more for wolfies sake than the local sheep.Anything that restores the natural balances of the UK countryside can't be a bad thing.It could be argued that creatures so high in the foodchain are a vital component of any balanced environment. But why stop there,following on from that the thought occurs would bears be sustainable?
