Yeah, but you're only a repeat customer for so long (until you've got your ideal lens set), and probably not that regularly.

That's true enough. I haven't bought anything from him in ages, not that i don't want to mind.... Just always skint!

Haha I'm skint now too. I spent my final bit of pocket money on my new toy which is hopefully arriving tomorrow.

And what's the new toy?

It's black with a bit of red paint on it. Has a flappy bit in it, but it's not a wafter.

I'll let you know as soon as the tracking comes up and I can start tracing it

I have been at Jacobs today trying out lenses but the 100-400 they had was slower to focus than the sigma which was a surprise. I think it might just be that lens, Chris' was very quick and I tried another one in Jessops and that seemed fine. Only just back to look at the pics...

We told you it was a mistake to try mine didn't we?

Wooo, things might be looking up.

Just got another call, got another interview on thursday (this one by telephone).

Best of luck, Neal, you might even end up with two jobs

Hi All

With all these pages and great images I have done very little photographically the past many days but we did have a walk on the 19th April and I had seen this lovely bit of street art previously and took a very minor detour to stop and grab this shot - only toted the F700 so limited angles to fill the frame. FWIW they have improved the whole of the towpath along this stretch of the Wey Navigation @ Guildford and group called The Tree Pirates have also worked their wonders.

This is a height restrictor for a small P&D carpark and IMO is a great bit of street art that I do sincerely hope gets left untouched by the mindless vandals

That is fantastic! I hope it stays, but knowing todays vandals it probably won't be long.

Evening all! Just finished the London Roller Girls photos. Waiting for the export to be complete and ill throw some up on here and link to Fleekur once done.

Evening Chaps.

Mike, really liking those cricket shots!

Adrian , Im glad to see you have made the sensible choice and gone for the Canon - you would only have ended up buying it in the future and regretting the Sigma purchase because of its drop in value.

+1 for contacting Kerso. Although i havent bought from him (yet) he offered me very competitive prices.

Exporting now mate.

On a roll. Just been looking at the schedule for the year, going to try and get a weekend shooter spot for the big event in July.

Ditto, I'm hooked now, I might even not marshal the WTCC to do it

Should be making the June one but not the one in July

Sorting through my shots as well, quite a few to go through and some that I reckon are a bit naff.

Look forward to seeing you there too Andy.

Just uploading to Flickr now and some to my server so ill share some more. Your Flickr ones looking sweet so far. Dont worry about a bit naff, they love it all.

Cheers - I have to say the potn togger ones are probably on par or better than those of the official photographer (hope he's not reading).

I swear we were the only ones who got a shoutout which I thought was ace. Think we should wear some POTN shirts next time.

Comedy one for this evening here

I wonder how the chat with his boss went.........after the dust had cleared
