Hi all..

I've recently moved again, this time though we're staying put for a long time until we can buy..., it's a lovely old 120 year old building, use to be used for the production of mead... don't know much more else at the moment. Got some great wildlife out here, seen some Owls, Deers, silly amounts of birds I've not seen much before etc..

This is from a walk on Sunday, about the only time I've had free as we only handed the keys over today, along with work and moving it's been a busy 5-6 days..

The drive..

Hoping to get out very soon and go out looking for some wildlife...and also waiting for a clear night to get a night shot of the building + stars

Oooh looks lovely there - away from everyone - bliss!

A quick one from me from this evening walk with the dog.

That's lovely Dom - super bluebell pic.

Bit random... but can anyone suggest a lovely 'coffee table' type photographic book, themed on the sea... seascapes etc.
We're going to a wedding soon, both bride and groom are sea-faring folk, and have requested books as their wedding presents.

Thanks for the comments, here she is on the outside... need to work on getting that light turned off!

Then I want another clear night for ISS...

Thanks Penel, I don't know how much you want to spend but these look like quite good books.

Morning all. I hope your well, as it's incredibly quiet at the
Moment.

I sadly lost a friend and Colleague last year as he had a heart attack at the age of 50. A very fit and healthy looking bloke who took on training the local youth team when no-one else had the time. Next week we are having a charity match in his memory and I have been asked by work to take photos during the day. I need some more storage for the 5d so does anyone have any links to good priced ones at the moment please?

Alternatively if you have any spare you no longer need I will happily buy them from you.

Thanks for those - we've gone with a book about places to visit before they disappear or something like that... husband chose it in the end!

so sorry to hear that Wayne, how very sad.
Do you mean memory cards - I just get mine off Amazon.

Hi Penel, I think i got the last one from Amazon, but just wondered if anyone had any particularly good deals at the moment.

Sorry to hear about your friend Wayne I'd go with Amazon they are usually the cheapest around.

Was planning lots of photos this weekend and the few days off, ended up Bank Holiday Monday photographing old trains, the rest of my days off sorting the garden shed out!!!

More lovely trains there Richard. Where is the location?

Dom, i wish they were SD as they are cheaper than chips now. CF are holding their price. I did find 7 Day Shop were doing 2 8GB for £40 which seems good. Not sure whether to go to a 16gb.

It's the Gloucester and Worcester Railway http://www.gwsr.com/ , first, forth & fifth photos are at Toddington Stn the second & third are at Cheltenham Race Course Stn

Hi Wayne

Likewise, sorry to hear about your friend

Re memory ~ I have used both Picstop and MyMemory with the last time used MyMemory and CF were a good price especially I think for SD class 10 Sandisk ?

@ Penel ~ did you get your boxes sorted out AOK?
