aviemoron - that's brilliant! Although he does look like he's about to pop!

Not great quality as it was a bit hazy. Week before last. Best single day I've ever done, and the two best descents I've ever done

Spacehopper - v.g. I seem to always take "action" shots, the kids, etc, etc, but I never seem to take landscapes or "things". The missus says I've got a cr*p eye for composition........
Captain Manwaring - where is that? West Coast of Scotland somewhere?
spacehopper - bit good at this eh? 😛
@ Captain Manwaring.
Ooh, ooh - Torridon in the sunshine. (Panting like a dog).
Jammy git.
i'm alright at composition (well probably rubbish but my girlfriend reckons it's reasonable!) but i can never seem to get the sort of clarity and sharpness of image as demonstrated in hopper's lovely shots. 🙁
Cheers Ti29er! Always nice when one comes out that captures the feel of when you took it.
Spacehopper - I love your pics, esp the last couple
I'm new to this photography lark and still learning the settings on my camera. On a weekend away with the in-laws (in a caravan in Cleethorpes) I sat on the beach and played around.

Right, I'm selling my SLR and getting one of those then! So much for my new hobby!
stick with the SLR! youll get better results in the long run 🙂
the lack of manual focus is the only bit that drives me a bit mad sometimes with compacts..
but i guess thats the price you pay for being able to put your camera in your pocket!
The F30's and F31d's hold their value well. Be prepared to pay a reasonable whack if you manage to find one on eBay. Have a reputation as a bit of a classic. I have the F31d.
My favourite this month

grumm:is it not taken from near Striding Edge looking over towards Swirral Edge?
theginjaninja your pic should have won the 1 a day monthly comp.
Where was that taken?nightbikeman
Leftboy, it is coming off Dodd Fell, North Yorkshire, going towards Hawes. To be precise...

grumm, yup its Torridon, about 2/3rds the way down the 8km descent from Bealach na Lice to Annat.
scuttler, yeah it was perfect. Was up there for 8 days just a couple of weeks ago so was able to pick the best day.

Cheers nightbikeman looks just like a trail I know in mid-wales

In short: There are many prestigious international photographic awards each year. One being PX3.
This is an important showcase competition attracting many top named celebrity photographers, and others. In the many varied categories you will not know whose is whose pictures. This is a good thing.
I have succeeded in being shortlisted into quite a number of diverse categories (quite a few to do with mountain biking) , a few of which you’d maybe not associate me with. Automotive advertising anyone?
Art Abstract?
I have spent 18 months on some projects leading up to this event so the competition is not taken lightly. This link became live and active at 16:00hrs on 14 May 2009.
The link to their main site is:

I can provide most of the links to my images, but sufficed to say most of my work is on the last page of the various categories.
Many will simply enjoy the photographic showcase.
I hope you enjoy the photographs.

Capt Spaulding - My missus wants to know what bike it is your little'n is on, mostly because its pink i think.
