Hi J - which triggers did you get please? thanks Paul

Hi all - off to Silverstone for BTCC on Sunday. Unfortunately probably the longest lens I will have is my currently busted Tamrot 70-300 - manual focus only, due to defective AF motor.:cuckoo: Very newbie to motorsport, and defective kit, so it will be challenging and I think I will have to do...

I ended up with 3 byt trying to amend basket of two but pleased with results so far

Just ordered some of these on Amazon for kids, but wondered if they might be useful for the creative types? http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/fyrflyz-assortment-rrp-7-99-now-2-del-amazon-1133073#comments Paul

Oh Crap just stuck my head outside and it's raining.

or so the Mrs says anyway...... The plan is, as I have no kids football matches to attend, to go OUT - yes OUT of the confines of the house and garden and try to catch up, 4 weeks in one day. it's a bit of a tall order and I am also of thinking of trying to combine themes maybe as a triptych...

Oh and thanks for the advice Sarah, the shirt merits having another attempt at doing something better. I will try to do what you say and not be negative. I am finding I am having to rush the job when i take these photos and it is about all I am doing with the camera at the moment. on a positive...

Here is week two,managed to get pic this morning. Dozy me shooting in jpg, yes its on macro, yes it's handheld, probably v soft - no I haven't ventrued outside back garden yet for this challenge :) The buds are new - I think ladybird may be passed its sell by date.

Thanks for the tips Sarah, I'll have a go I am sooo novice with photoshop and it takes ages to do anything on my laptop that's why I usually end up with little or no processing.I usually try to do an exposure tweak at least and I think I did crop a bit but obviously not enough. Also the sign...

No I was on about shot for the "New" theme starting today. I am trying to get a shot of new strings on my mandolin,but finding it difficult to get a good position on it and get as much as possible in focus. Shame on me I know, but the birdhouse was auto.
