Good grief. Observant lot, you aren't.

FLOL Putting it in gear means that you're reliant on the piston compression stopping the system turning. Does not matter if it's a forward or backwards gear. Good lord.

FLOL ! 40 miles ?! Would have been cheaper to get a taxi... or a hire car through work. Or even just hire a car for the day yourself. 80 extra miles on your 'limited milage' policy.. really worth the bother ?! Not like you'd done 20k when you told them you do 3k a year. :S

EHHMEERHHHGAAAAHD the noise. What a fcuking racket. :dead: Worse as a passenger than driver.

Bellends... :dapprove: Oi !

Upped the shadows a bit, downed the highlights to get the clouds back, cropped it down a bit (read up on the rule of thirds), buffed out the branches on the right that were crashing it, straighted it up, cooled it down (white balance) and upped the saturation a little bit. Little touch of...

It all comes from practise ! Surely you can see that your edited one is really blurry !? :S Sometimes that's a great thing but not here. No reason you'd want that IMO. If you're not 'skilled' as you put it, then let the camera do the hard work ;) If you'd left that in Av mode it might...

Uber critical mode on... You've gone from a not perfect, wonky image with the subject wonky and in the middle, to a really badly out of focus B&W version which is even more under exposed and still has the same composition ? Don't shoot manual focus or shutter speed IMO - Not sure why you were...

This is the thing. Unless there's actual snow on the ground, you don't realise they're doing such a good job. I've got to work, then nearly fell out of the car with the ground so slippery .. just being cold/frosty. Don't need 3ft of snow to make them worthwhile. Until people use them...

It should be .. but it won't be. Not a chance. Not until we get 3ft of snow from Nov-March every year for a decade. The only way it'll change people's ways is if insurance stipulates they are not covered to drive in 'wintry conditions' without M&S marked tyres... and that'll never happen...

Re: AW: Winter tyres Unfortunately, they probably would. Only if insurance companies INSISTED on winter tyres, would people actually change. Not paying out on snow/ice would save the industry (and in turn the consumer) an absolute fortune.

Nice. PXing the MR2 ? Nothing to scrap. It's all fiberglass !

Find out from your insurer if there's a limit to engine size or any restrictions. If they won't cover you, find someone who will. 1.8 16v or mk2 2.0 172 engine should fit. Budget / expectations ? You can get a volvo 1.7T engine in there I seem to recall.. basically you can get...

eBay it. See if he wins it !

When using a tripod, always use at last the 2-sec timer ;) For me, they look a bit soft, maybe they're OK... top one is spot on, but all have toooo much vingetting for me. Not too bright though .. iMac at full blast, they're fine. Is your brightness on full when you edit ? Try editing in...

Good work Roberto. Should have come over !! Oh hai :o

I'd be worried about that on the roads 10x more than a track day. Anyway... Next time !

TBH someone driving for 4 months isn't ready for the road...! Why not learn now how to drive properly now in a safe proper environment ? Everyone should learn how to drive properly, learn what cars are capable of and learn what happens if things go wrong. Winter training, skid training should...

LAME !

Ohhhhh yes.... Been out Burblin'. by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr Hilarious levels of grip ! Going past people on bypasses in the snow lane .. everyone else in the semi-clear inside lane at about 20mph .. me at full chat. Properly amusing ! Did get held up by a couple of Clios...

Just been for a wander about with sillywoman ... there's nothing about. Few cars, few people walking about but generally all is quiet !! Left at half 9, got home about 11 ! Wanted to try some flash stuff out at the church, but didn't really go to plan. There was enough light about anyway...

I've a £15 Hama one .. pick one from here.. If it's really useful or you find you have to upgrade, £15 isn't even a round at the pub... use this one as a spare/backup or flash holder ? Mine holds my 7D (1.3kg with kit lens IIRC) quite happily.

Bloody hell !! No cats about I bet haha... Cheers.. yeah I guess ! Not much like that around here though haha :o

Lol cheers... Star trails generally work better at night, yes ;)

1 TBH. Simple as that. It owes you a little bit but you'll never see that back again. I can't imagine you've spent £k's on it anyway... Sounds like the perfect set up to me. If you can afford it, and you have space for it, why not ? It's not like you've got £10k sat there SORN'd...

Playing about with my flashgun at home after I'd 'fixed' the on-board flash issue. Microswitch was staying down on the hot-shoe so camera thought there was a gun in place. :mad: Flashy stairs - B&W by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr

Wouldn't get your hopes up Terry. http://xcweather.co.uk/forecast/ss15 It'll freeze nicely over night which will be brilliant first thing....! :S

Coming home perhaps. Getting up even earlier to meet people who I hope have got up early too.... no thanks haha !
