Me too but lately it seems my oomph is more like unoomph :(

I had that but I really challenged myself and also got out of the neighbourhood, the country even. Took a mirrorless EOS to Vietnam and couldn't stop taking photos. I feel the oomph again and get excited when I have the camera out.

Happy 2017 folks ........ wonder where everyone ended up from the golden days of this thread .....

Happy New 2017 to you too!

I'm still around, 2016 just seemed to be a blur with very little photography wise from me.

We started 2016 with 4 kids at home and finished with just 1! I have spare bedrooms and have therefor commandeered one back and turned it into my office again.

Late last year I made a stand for my printer (had been sitting on some cabinets and unmovable) so now it is on wheels making it easier to load rolls and flat sheets in the rear of it and over my Christmas break made some custom furniture and installed it. Still a bit messy but much easier to work in. Need to get a decent chair and it will be done.

The fitting on the wall with the pin-board on it hinges down and has a large mirror 1400 x 1000mm (that I have had lying around the house for years) glued to it and makes an ideal surface to layout prints to trim/varnish them and possibly a good "product photography" table.

So hopefully, once I finish painting the house (yes, it's still not finished!!) I will get back into some photography.
I've have one shift back at work which was good, love working 4 on - 4 off.

Hi Tim, long time.....

Seems like you had a great time overseas.

And as Potisdad asked, how's progress on the wee car?

Indeed it has. Well due to some unforseen circumstances nothing has happened on the mini for a while and now it's back into summer, the garage is like a hot box! But ... the bodywork is all but done including a new Heritage front end. It's all primered and when the sh!!t hit the fan I was half way through making the frame. There's also a young kid in work who is putting a straight 6 in his 318 and he's keen to come round and lend a hand/nudge. Hopefully sometime this year it will be back on 4 wheels.

Long time no post.......

Just wondering if anyone is keen for a road trip to take photos of planes? I'm thinking of making the trip, and have 3 seats free in the truck.

Have you Calibrated your Monkey lately?

Now more than ever we need to be a community, working together and for each other, as photographers, as lovers of photography and as members of POTN.

No firm plans, but was thinking either drive down Friday/airshow Saturday/drive home Sunday, or drive down saturday/airshow Sunday/drive home Monday. We would need to book somewhere to stay. But I'm open to suggestions. I'd take the x-trail, which has heaps of room for 4 people and gear.
