Did anyone else manage anything? It's been thoroughly rubbish here in North Wales the past two days!

Well, it was either sunny, or biblical, with a little 'fine rain that wets you through' somewhere in between. Today was worse. Once i've dried the camera out, i'll see if I got anything worthwhile today....

Zokes are you using a mirror lens? The bokeh in the third picture looks a bit odd

Redthunfder - any idea the name of the road - is that at the end of Line Wall Road just after you go past the Bristol Hotel, it's on the right?

After posting for some advice on a dslr recently, I bought a Canon 40D. Weather wasn't too bad on Saturday so went down to the Mumbles where there was a kite surfing competition on. The wind was very strong with squally showers, didn't get a good opportunity to take any impressive shots. Went down to the Mumbles pier where I took some landscape photos.

Pretty new to this, but they look ok for a first effort (in my opinion).

Ok I know where that is but i think it's closed to mere civilians such as myself. Will have to get up there, maybe tomorrow night which will be the last night I have my bike before it gets taken apart ready for transit

I've taken pictures at 3 fell races this weekend.

Nick Craig ran two of them finishing a creditable 2nd and 3rd overall. Not bad for a 40 year old mountain biker 😉

3 of my favorite pics.

Ah, you soft get! You have to show them who's boss. One looked at me a bit funny, but told it to behave. It knew the score...
