Nice Photos.

Looking Back at an Eclipsed Earth from Mir 27 in 2001.

Wow! what an interesting shot. What lens did you use 555?

I had a nice (and uncharacteristically dry) few days in The Lakes last week :-



Brothers Water.

Thanks mate. Good old Lumix!

Dear Tony,

I went to the Lakes in May 1979 with my brother straight after passing my driving test. We went round in a blue mini pick-up - OUJ 898 M - and went on some very long but badly planned walks!

We discovered Brothers Water which is such nice lake, and when we were there, almost deserted, unlike the more famous ones.

I have some lovely photos taken on a very old [even then] camera. An Agfa Synchro-box [Synchro, because it could be linked to a separate flash unit!], which took rolls of eight exposures on absolutely massive negatives! The pictures still exist, so I will try to dig them out. Hardly very scientific photography, but surprisongly good really.

Unfortunately I have no scanner, so cannot work them up for this thread.

I took perhaps 200 photos with the old Agfa, and sadly have not still got the negatives, but one day I should archive the prints in digital form.

I now have a really old Canonette Rangefinder, which takes superb photos. That was my grandmother's camera. When she died I was offered the choice of three 35 mm cameras of hers. A modern point and snap, the Canonette and a Zeiss, which was totally manual, and very good.

I opted for the Canonette because my grandmother took so many pictures of my brother and I on holiday there [in Norway] with it! I thought it would be nice to keep the old thing going and in the family!

Lovely pictures. ATB from George

heres some pics from my turkish holiday.














































































We had a great holiday and it truly is a beautiful country.
Regards, Scotty

That looks like a lovely spot Scotty. Where is it exactly?

Hi Tony,

We were based in Olu Deniz and thats where the aerial shots were taken from a para glider - the bay which is called the blue lagoon is beautiful. We were fortunate to have a rental car for 2 weeks so travelled up and down the south coast (med) some 250 miles west and east.
We found some lovelly spots and spent the day wherever and whenever we felt like it, which is the way i like to holiday - total freedom.
regards, Dave

Taken up near Steel Rig, Hadrian's Wall, last week:

Can we have a truce on the size of the images being posted - say a max of 600 to 800 pixels also try keeping the file size down to less than 400 kb.
This would still allow good quality pics to be displayed and would have better chance of seeing the images on the screen without having to scroll them from side to side.

Now back to our normal programming

Sorry about that, got a bit carried away with the options in my Photobucket 'Pro' account. And no, I don't use a 42" monitor!

I hiked the West Coast Trail last week.
