LOL 90% of my shots are done in a deserted/derelict/abandoned building of one sort or another............it aint easy trust me........dodgy floors, glass everywhere, lots of the time have a full face breathing mask on, security and patrol dogs to dodge.......thats once your inside the fence
You normally have to negotiate something like this........before you can even think about getting the camera out.......

Thats 9ft tall by the way :confused:.............thats sink shot was taken just behind this..........!!
If there was a prize of how difficult it was to get your shot I would be right up there :lol::D;)
just wish I had some places like that to photograph around here... keep them coming...

Zany works, almost. It's not a noun though!
Where are Gail and Roy, our international arbitrators on such weighty matters? :confused: :D
I queried 'Zany' when it was used a few days ago, but I got shot down in flames!

You mean there IS another life? Maybe I should become a Zirconium miner...then I'd only have to worry about X's.
Anyway, where's Beeb? I thought he was going to take care of Z with pics of his grandson Zack!

Wouldn't Zack be a proper Noun? Who would verify it is really his name? Trust but verify!

I believe Flo means Quercus (she forgot the 'c'), which is the botanical name for Oak.

Okay, how about The Yeomen Of The Guard?
This is in fact taken with a Canon film camera, back in 1998. It was scanned from 35mm film on a Canon FS-4000US scanner, for which I specially bought a SCSI adapter. That was no longer supported on 64 bit Vista, so I gave up and sold the scanner. Well, I had scanned all my films, so what was the point of keeping it?
