No idea. POTN is my camera club.

I used to go to one a few years back but was a bit disillusioned by it being a bit of an old man's club. Every knew each other and outsiders were treated a bit like outsiders.

The competitions are strange beasts. You can enter what you feel is a stunning photo and it'll be met with somewhat arbitrary ambivalence.

Exactly what I was thinking. You can't beat POTN, a club 24/7

well if anyone knows a good club not full of stuffy camera snobs ...............

@ KSkitt

When I was studying art one of my tutors told me that before you draw one good drawing you have to draw 10,000 rubbish ones - now the Bruce Lee sounding spiritual nonsense aside, there's a lot to be said for practising making perfect, find your own style and technique - the guys on here really know their stuff and seem very happy to offer genuine C&C on any posted images...

you certainly seem to have the enthusiasm and that counts for a lot!

I bet it's fun going through airport security now...

Oh yes.

I even set off the alarms going into the club last night and got a very thorough search for concealed knives etc. They wouldnt accept that i had metal bits inside me until they got the handheld metal detector out and waved it over my arm.

At one point, i though that they were going to get the rubber gloves out and do a cavity search!

I totally agree with you there. I said to Neal that he could be as honest as he could, because the only way i will learn is by knowing the truth. Yeah i love photography

Ouch! I cant even begin to imagine the pain

I broke my lower spine and pelvis in 5 places plus various internal injuries when the horse I was riding reared up and fell back onto me. It didn't for about an hour and then it hurt like buggery, then I didn't feel a thing for the next 5 days and they took me off the morphine but it's amazing what you can put up with when something happens.

well this is definitely the club to join

friendly and genuinely helpful like minded people

ouch Ronin

Ouch again. I remember i had an abcess on my right side last year. The actual abcess didnt hurt that badly, but i needed it drained, and then had it packed. I woke up feeling ok, and then they had to change the dressing. Now that bloody hurt, wasnt given any pain releif. I managed to scream the ward down, and my then bf could here me at the other end of the ward - he knew never to argue with me after that. I still have a lovely scar there which honestly looks like ive either been stabbed or shot

wow

this is turning into WHO HAS THE WORST INJURIES forum lol

Yeah.

I fell off my skateboard when I was a kid and skinned my knees.

Now that's real pain for you....

I have to say getting shot hurt the most luckily my body armour stopped it but it knocked the wind out of me and I had a monster bruise for about a week and 2 broken ribs that hurt every time I breathed.

Respect to you Ronin

How much spam do you guys get on your wordpress blogs in the comments? I am getting quite a bit of repeated comments. The good thing is they have to be moderated by me so they don't appear on the site until I authorise it.

Just had Pork Scratchings then Jamaica Cake and cream, healthy healthy!
