Iv been re-learning how to ride again.

Don't worry, it's just like riding a bike.

The English like standing in lines.

Don't they just. A couple of friends and I created a randon line one day at the Silverstone GP. We just stood near a burger van and were joined by a couple of others. They eventually wandered off when they ealised what we had done, very funny. Helped we were very drunk at the time.

How is riding a bike like sex?
Been a while since ive riden a bike. Last time I remember I had a sore butt due to the seat.

Seems many are happy with ISO 6400 on the new MK3. Havt seen much re live preview and its uses

If sex is like riding a bike, you are doing it wrong.

I thought it was " if you find sex a pain in the butt you are doing it the wrong way "

The mind boggles.

Moppie.. how old where you when your Mum said that?

Tony, I would recommend the Dell 24" Widescreen monitor

it's what I am using and I love it.

With regards to the landscapes having foreground objects, that is also something I have been trying to work on too. It does add depth to the image.
Here are 2 I took the other day where I was trying exactly that. I know the horizon goes through the middle. Which one do you like more? or are both crap?

the first one is better cos u get to see the stones getting progressively smaller into the middle distance. however the mountains really chop the image in half with their horizontal bases right across the back and kind of undo the effect made by the round stones. the foreground isnt really linked to the back of the image in any way - u get what i mean?

Ok, I was processing SI photos, honestly I was.
Then the bike showed up
Now I know how unfit I am, and realised just how long its been since I rode a bike.

Speaking of bikes, Here are a couple of shots of my boys.
On the second one I was experimenting with Longer shutter speed, a little under exposed, but with flash to bring the rider into the foreground & blur the background. I like this one as you see the face. I have better ones composition wise, but the face is hidden by an arm or something.

those are great shots

hahaha reminds me of that show in wellington where they picked a walking person in the town near a park and all lined up following him around, but every time he looked behind him suspiciously they all immediately dispersed in random directions, then reformed the line again when he carried on walking

Im after a nice wide LCD screen for my editing of photos. About 22"
Anyone got any reomendations. Ive used Philips for yrs.
I have 17" normal LCD at moment

Ask Pete -- his monitor made me drool. I think it was a Dell.

Gosh, those photos bring back good memories... and some painful ones too Taking a spill made me realise that I would rather have cuts than scrapes.
