A Van for Byron

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Mick,

So when are you 'upgrading' your van to similar spec? :D :twisted:

edit: yeah, tea is ok too. A good machine will have a hot water take-off from the boiler. Perfect for making a good cup of tea!

I assume there'll be a campfire. And a stick. And some sort of a metal can or pot of some sort.

I'll be bringing some English Breakfast tea bags.

If you put them in your van... you'll have a tea van.

Only if you bring some tea as well as those &^%$# bags
You also need boiling water, so the billy & campfire should do the trick. Personally I use a whisperlite. Faster & cleaner.

Not sure about that plumbers nightmare in the back of that van though. Looks like a pile of junk designed to lower fuel efficiency. I'll bet it can't make a decent pot of tea though. :D

Hey Mick,
There is a van like that already in byron. Better still, Bay Leaf cafe in town makes mind blowing coffee, look for the place full of locals.

Yep we have a big Barbie Plate and plenty of stuff to burn. Sticks, they are all over the place. :wink:

Mick, even though, apparently, you drink tea, if this was your van, even I know you wouldn't have milk jugs sitting on top of the machine getting warm, and have a hopper full of ground coffee getting stale!

At least there are no syrup bottles in sight!

That's cool Mark - Donna will be able to get her fix and we can keep our van (she would never miss out on her supply of caffeine - just don't tell her where the best coffee is made - it'll cost me a fortune :lol: ).

Leigh and Mr Darcy, we always have tea available in my van - just don't tell Donna I said that!

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

Nah, she knows that I would prefer a/your 85 1.4 (and for the money the van would cost, it could be a Zeiss 85). :lol:

My brand new sleeping bag has a hidden item pocket... so when we find it, we can always store tea in there, Mick. :lol:
