Hi Jonesy, well mate whats wrong with you a bit slack hey, all my pics were processed and on website saturday nite mate. I have just sent my weekly shots for the paper including the pic of Scotty unframed as i know he came first in his class. Will just be interesting to see how long it takes the club to get there write up done, as usual very late.

I heard Ralph was out there as Ash told me he was. Think he is using the 80-400 VR as he ahh well partner brought him the camera but dont think he can afford the Glass. LOL I dont think he was getting any big glass.

Ok mate well you get into them pics and give us a look. :lol:

Yeh we will steal it from him,LOL i know he orded a lens but got lost somewhere, but yeh i guess he is having fun with it working it all out. Tell you what Jonesy have you ever seen a camera shop push a photographer? Go into Camera House and you see nothing but his pics everywhere.

These kids are making good use of your sign mate.

:lol: I cant afford the Vr let alone the camera!

And at least my sign was good for something! Oh and my excuse is no braodband at home... only dial up, tonight will be a late one, althought I have some designs in my head to make use of that wide format printer! maybe we could both hit them up for a good rate by dealing with them exclusively (well thats what we tell them anyway!)

Took at 1/40 sec.
