Heartland

Not sure if that is perhaps an advantage @Paterson? No Nosey Neighbours or Big Brother, eh?

Good work @mh & @EvilBastard, but watch your cameras looking directly into that sun thingy, eh? Contre-jour is fab, but risky to our equipment ...

Steady on kids ... perhaps this would be safer for now?

Pulled these from the archive for you Debs:~ http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3296/2415695816_04c658c2a6_o.jpg 'Scuse the quality if you will, the lighting was beyond my control you see - 'twas in a Catholic church as if you hadn't guessed, and Father was/is not always sympathetic to the requirements ...

On the subject of photography @obviousman, your perseverence with film intrigues me. This makes a lot of sense, but a good range is getting harder to find and afford for sure. Processing seems to be disappearing fast too - perhaps it will only be found in art schools and professional labs soon? Pati...

:eek: & :innocent: With reference to most of the above:~ Gave you something to talk about though, eh? ... I've heard (a lot) worse of course. "Old Hippy" - maybe, but "racist undercurrents" - no. I think you misunderstood, but hey @JB, I was enjoying your art school tales, wh...

I appreciate all you say @Blast , I really do, and I’m glad we can discuss this without it descending into insults – quite refreshing … I was ‘taught’ a load of guff at art school & uni that I have since largely ignored. I do think (for myself), and think they are a bunch of sycophanti...

Me neither ...

Far better than the hand IMO! Read your post with much interest. Can we keep this up in 'Photography Corner'? - If it doesn't annoy James too much? (I was always told not to be bitter, but I slip sometimes ...) Also, with reference to above, I take it you too use a tripod when you can? 'tis cumbers...

Thanks for all of that @Obviousman ! :notworthy: You and Mr Blast have just exposed me for the cheat I am! :urff: However, digital has many uses though, and is also fun of course! Let's meet up one day with our plate cameras when we have the time and our own processing lab, eh? :wink: Ciao 4 now.

Wow, is this a confession from you Sir Blast?
- Interesting read though! - I love pooters too, but cameras as well!

The network rail van had it's wing mirrors knocked off and the windscreen smashed but this is what the locals done to the police car.... :eek: :lol: I take it you were laughing so much it made the images go all wobbly? :wink: Bit like the fate of the North Wales Constabulary's HQ, eh? (pardon but I...

Reading The ToryGraph now your Quiffness? What is the world coming to? You'll be doing the Goose-step next ...

NO! We must not loose this! We saved the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie ...

Rule Britannia!

I knitted this Organic GM-free Aduki Bean & Tofu Stew just for my Heartland Peers! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3002/2406205318_7842461140_b.jpg I hope you enjoy it, and then we can sit around the campfire together with our guitars and tambourines, singing an acoustic version of Gimme Shelter!

Hi Folks! No cheating in Photoshop indeed, I stopped doing that since I switched to film. Not even cropping pictures! Think along with only film it's all just a matter of silly purism :lol: But to me, it's just so much more fun to get things right from the start rather than trying to make things loo...

Well I had to say that didn't I?

Plenty to see on my Flickr , there'll be some new ones uploaded the next couple of days too :D (still got a colour roll from Paris waiting for publication on my HDD) :eek: Thanks for that! - I especially liked 'Meringue', 'Boerentoren' and most of all 'Cathedral' - A stunner against that azure blue...

Could be your year ... Bought your final tickets yet?

More of the same then!

So, what were you listening to at that age Sinnie?
Just curious you understand - This is not some thinly veiled sarcasm ...

I'm a 90 minute bigot :wink: N' naw, wur team's pish! :( :eek: A bigot with a sense of humour is all right by me! Anyway, surely you'll be celebrating a return to the Champion's League next year as Champions too this time? :wink: Beat those Gooners too just to make my day in 2009, eh? :twisted:

That second photo of yours reactiv8 is absolutely stunning!

you really do knit your own museli, don't you? Pardon my daftness, but what exactly does that mean? You are not at all daft Sinnie! - It is a not so subtle slag of Hippies - e.g. making your own Muesli - Something that Hippies supposedly eat a lot of, although I never do! - Although I'm not sure if...
