Yes
Dont go looking for macro shots of wasps wearing a purple and blue T shirt! :lol:
 
LOL at CT.

My Tip

Don't lye down in long grass trying to take shots of Damsel flies.
You could end up with a couple of horse fly bites.
 
Don't go into the woods wearing a sleeveless top - the gnats will love you!
 
Dont forget to charge your batteries. Its no good going out there half charged :eek:
 
Don't lay on the ground to take a picture of a tree that drops fluff everywhere or you may end up covered in fluff :(

And if your battery does run out half way round a zoo on a cold day... you can always tuck it down your trousers to warm it up :lol:
 
You don't have to use the viewfinder to get interesting candids at parties / social gatherings.

People tend to ignore the camera if you're not looking through it ;)
 
Don't forget to take your bloody camera everywhere with you ... or you might just miss the most fabulous sunset of your life ... ever !?! :bang: :bonk: :bang:

And in Stevenage of all places ... :eek: :eek: :eek:

Tonight after a great night out watching the Reduced Shakespeare Company (doing Hollywood or something like that?) ... v. v. funny :lol: :cuckoo: :lol:
 
dont offer to resign, then get your knickers in a twist when you get taken up on it...

Dont offer to do DIY at home for the wife, then not do it
Dont complain about the quality of the DIY the wife did, cos you didnt do it...

dont phone a foreign company with no idea how to speak the language....
 
errr.... Dont eat yellow snow? ;)
 
Ensure your gear bag is zipped up and secure BEFORE you lift it up !?! :gag:

AND ... ensure your battery is not flat BEFORE trying to take pictures of a Wren ... or anything for that matter ! :bang:
 
Never meddle in the affairs of cats. For they are subtle and will urinate in your laundry basket.

Well, kells did when she couldn't let them out for 3 days due to them having just moved house..... :D :D :lol:
 
Seriously though,

When you're out shooting, try and calm yourself and think about what you're doing.

I've cocked up so many shots due to getting over excited about a fantastic sunset, friendly rabbit, odd hapening etc.

Ditto. I tend to get over excited then just end up taking run of the mill point n shoot stuff instead about thinking what I'm trying to achieve and composing the shot correctly.

Viz classics Matt like


Climb onto your neighbour's roof and dangle a fish on a bit of string in front of his windows. He'll think his house is underwater.

Minor skin grafts can be performed on pigs by covering any cuts and grazes with thin strips of bacon.

Don't waste money buying expensive binoculars. Simply stand closer to the object you wish to view.

Save time when crossing a one-way street by only looking in the direction of oncoming traffic. - D. Rogers, Hemel Hempstead

When crossing a one-way street always look in BOTH directions in case a large blue furniture removal lorry is reversing the wrong way up the road. - D. Rogers, Hemel Hempstead General Infirmary
 
oh yes indeedy, some classics there...i had a viz top tips book somewhere....must dig it out
 
I know I've mentioned this one before....

....when heading out at dawn to get early morning shots of a fantastic stone circle, remember that you charged your batteries overnight and that picking them up and putting them into the camera/bag before leaving the house is a good idea! :bang:
 
BLACK TEENAGE AMERICANS - Avoid the need to keep saying "y'know what I'm sayin?" by speaking properly in the first place.

Gotta love Viz.

Yup ... even for Northern immigrants ! Don't think Aldershot counts for even the Midlands ... :thinking:

Funny thing is you can, apparently still jet wash your patio/path (not at the garage of course ... that would be silly !) ... :cuckoo:

but you cannot water your veg or even wash or home jet-wash the car (with a hose attached !).:shrug:

When taking a DVD back to Blockbuster, check that the DVD is in the case BEFORE you get to the shop... saves a lot of time and embarrassment
 
When emptying the contents of the bag attached to a sander, make sure you are not standing with the wind blowing towards you :bonk:
