Morning! Felt like the middle of the night when the alarm went off this morning.
Mixed bag of weekend, 10km race and then footy on sat. Uploaded and tagged all the pix only to find out my recent upgrade to the software didn't work so now the search function doesn't work. Spent all Sunday trying to fix it before I gave up. Shame as this would have been a good race aswell. On the positive side 3 more baby bookings, so thats me booked up til xmas. Stereophonics tonight. Need a rest.

Keeping busy you are certainly getting the bookings for the baby shots

First photo job... Arsenal Champs league tomorrow evening.
Also got a few canvases to do, and some maternity enquiries to follow up.

Good luck with the enquiries between you and Ian you will have the market sown up before too long

The largest member of the Weasel family - the Wolverine, a very cool and scary looking critter, I love the idea that this beast used to roam our countryside!

(here he is napping and less intimidating!)

Was that whipsnade zoo? I have never seen one in the flesh and look very cool.

I think you need to have a credit card with the full price of the camera for a deposit on the first rental. I know Rich used them for the MKIV and other bits so he's your man to ask. I'm not going to that place again myself but thats just me, nothing to do with rentals BTW

Picked my camera up from there today and had to resist looking at the secondhand selection.

just thought I would post my 'duck shot' from my newish 85L, unfortunately my little boy decided to eat it.

Very nice

Just accepted a job working for Tia Maria on Friday. Will be working in the VIP bar for the Britains Next Top Model Live show at the Excel.
Pay is OK,( it actually went up from what I expected when I confirmed, which was a nice surprise!) but I'm nervous due to the fact that I don't read the magazines or watch any shows that contain "celebrities". I think i may need a a spotter lol!
Thanks for taking my call by the way Rich-definitely made me see sense.
Now the important bit - must decide what toys to buy with the pay?

Watch living normally repeated to give you some idea. I must confess to seeing the odd one. Kris and I do watch the American version which is on tonight religiously very good for a laugh and good for ideas

We were going to have a POTN golf day a year or two back...we never did get around to it! What do you play off? I played on Friday for the first time since August last year...and managed not to come last!

Adrian - yes, Whipsnade Zoo, they have a pair of Wolverines I managed a shot of the male yawning last time I went, that view looks like a man trap!

Mat - nice Golf bokeh!

Ambulance on standby

Can't we get on the booze straight away then hit the range?

I was under the impression that most ranges have bars...........get on it straightaway

there's no bar at my local

was thinking of getting this driver on a cheap one - mine is broken

Thanks for your help. Just hope you like it. I like it anyway.

Stereos were good, forgot my bloody ear plugs, even got them out aswell! Lighting was well, red, blue, purple, red, yellow, blue, purple. Hard to get a decent exposure. Shot manual and hoped for the best.
