  1. Cheers Jamie Child labour really does work for me right now Unfortunaely my fruit based wig nearly got me into trouble at customs...a pity I was without
  2. Thanks. I've just got a pany FZ28, so not a DSLR, but nearly. I think I had my polarising filter on for that shot to encourage colour saturation etc... Cheers Andy. You're not wrong about the greeks and family etc. And yes I did enjoy it, even if it was on the quiet side. Thanks Steve. As I mentioned to Jake it's the FZ28 by Panasonic. It has a 27mm to 486mm lens so pretty handy particularly if you're a novice like me, and when going on holiday where you may not want to lug too much gear around - with the Mrs and baby etc. The new FZ38 is out now - I'll give you the www.ukdigitalcameras.co.uk link to it and a review, and I know the next generation is available at a great price. Both cameras have HD video capabilty too etc. http://www.ukdigitalcameras.co.uk/prod.asp?i=5704&gclid=CKOQ9OjQkp4CFeZr4wod2QNVrA http://www.dpreview.com/news/0907/09072704panafz38.asp Naturally if you wanted to achieve amazing pin sharp images, or hand held lower light shots you would need a DSLR with a few lenses. This will be my next step if I continue to have an interest, but anyway the FZ28 or the newer FZ38 is a great starter. One more thing, no matter what camera you have, be it point & shoot, phone camera, bridge camera (FZ28) or DSLR, nothing but practice and research of a few techniques will invariably help improve the quality of your photography. For instance, I only got mine this February. Before I had a little point & shoot, but I literally never thought about what I was shooting. This is not the camera's fault - it was mine. One more thing, I took along with me my little Joby Gorillapod tripod. That's how I took the moon shot. In the past I'd have done it by hand, but it would have been super crap and blurry. Anyway enough essay anwers for one day We did thanks Martin. Cheers col Quiet???? Just a bit Anyway, we had a good time and it was pretty much good weather, mid 70s etc. The sea was a bit nippy though Thanks Alex
  3. They still sing unusual notes all the time, but as you say they're just blended in with their additional vocal tracks more
  4. Got to be careful here dr_jekyl as it looks like you're trading in tyres....especially when sentences start with "...guys, not to be advertising or trading, but...I'm going to be advertising & trading blah blah blah..."
  5. I think some are taking the psi. The rascals.
  6. It's a must if you go to Greece. Holiday snaps without is a fail. No. I'm not a magician. Just a keen amateurist Anyway that's it folks. Thanks for all your comments
  7. Still in Argostoli, I found this beauty... Tasteful... I particulalry liked the colours of the buildings, and usually there was some attractive light available to take the shots in etc (omg I've just bored myself) Gradaki Beach near Lassi. Me and the boy Our kid
  8. Thanks Slowly improving. I know I didn't know what to do with myself when I was there - so I decided to enjoy my holiday instead and it worked a treat. As for the pretty lady and kid, well they didn't mind too much. After a short spell in prison, the Greeks released me. It was a misunderstanding etc.
  9. Ok from Fiskardo to Assos, another sleepy fishing village. Heading back at Sunset to Lassi via Argostoli which is their main town Argostoli in the day. Louis had a blow out in his machine so a nice man called Spiros - no really, helped fix it for free. He wouldn't take a penny. So I shall reward him with the majesty of 2 photos of his moped & bike shop on this 'ere forum. Louis Hamilton? Argostoli ctd...it was flatened in 1953 by a severe earthquake. Most of the island suffered except Fiskardo....
  10. Possibly. Thing is I've started to look a bit, you know *William Shatner - the TJ Hooker years* Thanks yeah, it was pretty much shut.
  11. Outside our harbour side restaurant was one of these... Next day we drove around to the North & North East coast. Firstly to Myrtos Beach and then on to Fiskardo then coming back via Assos. Myrtos Fiskardo is very pretty and reassuringly expensive: 2 salads with a cheeky mushroom starter, garlic bread and 2 ice coffees £33.00 Louis taking it easy. He has no idea that lunch was paid for with his inheritance... Hannah with lil Louis
  12. Just got back from Kefalonia two weeks ago and thought I'd put up some pics. We had a week out there and while it was great to get away, we somewhat chanced it with the weather, temperatures and resorts being open Prior to booking, we spoke to CJ (our man in Kos) and we probably should have listened to him a bit more...a lot more. Anyway, would I go there again? Yes. But not October-November. Probably May/June. As usual, looking at other pepole's photos is usually dull, but there are a couple of car shots somewhere in the middle Looking out from our swimming pool across Lassi... That's ours, 2nd in from the left. After a couple of days relaxing, we headed off to Sami on the East Coast, but first a swim here at Antisamos beach. Sami is a lovely litttle fishing village and we nipped in here for a late lunch and a nose around the harbour. On the set of Captain Corelli's banjo. More photos to follow...
  13. Ciaron, please stop bumping your thread so frequently. It's just not required or called for. This has already been mentioned, yes? Take on board why your numerous posts have been deleted by Gav and behave. My finger is hovering over the Delete Thread button.
  14. I got my slim line digital ballast ones from ebay for £50/60 IIRC delivered. Better than my old £100 ones for reliability.
  15. The good news is he needs just 4 more points and he's World Champion. Latest is Renault/Dacia Sandero Consortium PLC Ltd.
  16. News just in, Jenson possibly off to Mclaren.
  17. They can probably do anything they want. Trouble is if I owned or ran the art gallery and someone was in my space, I'd do something about it. Wouldn't you?
  18. Try parking there and if your car gets towed away or clamped, do not repeat.
  19. I loved that joke RIP then.
