Good luck going full time as a tog, hope it all works out for you. Know how you feel re corporate job but I did enjoy mine until they outsourced it.

Tried my new Nikon AF-I 400mm F2.8 lens today and it's a cracker.

Developing a film from that "bought for £5" Olympus OM-1, and finding the camera has aged well... its lightseals are pretty much intact.


(Olympus OM-1, Olympus 28mm f/2.8, Olympus Y2 filter, Fuji Neopan 400 (E.I. 200), Rodinal 1+100, and a willing subject)

Well if you did the Ratcliffe  on Soar power station I am looking at it now and it`s a great image.Well done. Wonder if you will get the Canon camera of the cash. Last weeks paper was funny when on their "get it sorted out for me" page soemone complained that they had won a photography competition and still not received the prize after 3 months.

"Erm yes that`s us the Guardian " they replied and stated 10 other winners had been treated the same following the end of  nikon sponsorship and move to Canon. They had decided to give the cash instead until supply problems sorted out. Does`nt matter as long as you get the prize - well done again.

Now what can I do for "Grace" given your expertise at these things.

No, it's just done the typical AF thing when the subject's too close... it's gone for the next thing to focus on.

Also, it could've been that your subject hadn't got enough contrast for the AF sensors to pick-up.

wmmfgt?.....well yesterday actually......NOT smashing up my 40D in a fall while shooting wildlife at a local wetlands.  I had the camera with 70-300 mounted on my tripod and had been taking some shots from the top of the hill overlooking the wetlands.  I left everything attached and walked down the hill, stopping to take some more shots on the way.  I was about half way down when I slipped on some damp clover and went A over T, ending up sprawled on the ground with one arm holding the tripod aloft 'Excalibur' style by one leg.  I rolled my ankle pretty badly, and made a spectacle of myself, but my gear emerged unscathed!

Looks like I got a few pretty good shots too, but haven't had a chance to check & edit as yet   Will post some in my gallery in the next few days.

Ouch! really sorry to hear about the ankle, alternate heat and cold packs and resting it with it elevated will be the best (I'll take my medic hat off now LOL!).  Glad you managed to save your equipment though, well done!

OK, I'll watch out for that next time - thanks so much!
