I want to add it to the notes section on the transect data.

Made my first video! Very short and like Gary says, it looks like my pb has stuck it's self in an electrical socket. It looked fine at high-res!! and when I up-loaded it, it cut off all my credits, it wouldn't be quite so bad, but that took me ages to figure out how to do it! We were walking along t...

can someone please give me details of the tripod that was show. Hi Andy, the Tripod was Manfrotto 190CXPRO4 You might want to test it out in a shop, so you can see which type of head, would suit you the most. I have the pistol grip style which is Manfrotto 322RC2 and there are various ball heads. M...

Well it's a start, whether I keep it up or not is another matter.

It's strange how you always get far more private messages, than on-line comments when you do a blog / diary.

Here's to a new begining.

I haven't blogged in ages either, but I liked the original blog style, where everyone's name (who had a blog) would appear at the bottom of the forum page. The name of the person who updated there blog, would always appear first. You got far more comments on that system, but Pete had to up-date the ...

Ditto to all the above, well done guys.
Some class photography as ever on this web site.

*EDIT*

Found one!
Have a great Christmas everyone.

Order it Susie, it's an excellent book! I thought it would appeal more to the girls than the blokes, but I happen to know that Ian Pratt has read it too. But that might be more to do with having his name on the inside cover, as they used one of his Glanville images, and it appears on the top of ever...

Another great shot Gary!

Thanks Lee, it's without doubt, a beautiful time of year.

Lol thanks everyone, miles further out of the picture, the house eventually has it's own boat house too.
Some people have too good.

Yep Gary took some shots as well, he can be really annoying at times, just when I think I have a cracking shot,
his version always seems to come out better.

Well seeing as Geniculata put up a scenic shot, I thought I would too! Not sure if any one is in to this stuff, but here goes. 20091031_107--700.jpg A really calm morning, meant there were no ripples for a change! and could get a decent reflection. It didn't last long though. 20091031_23--700.jpg Ju...

Thanks Zonda!

I looked on Bio Images, but the examples weren't very good, so I googled Poecilobothrus nobilitatus and eventually came up with this guys photography site.
