WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH

ANOTHER holiday? :p

Yes - this one is the duty holiday with the family though (not that I won't have a good time) The last one was a boys week away, taking pics, eating out (to save on washing up) and just chillin'. Interestingly the first nights shop ended up with a fridge full of beer and a small bottle of milk. The rusultant empty bottles covered a whole worktop in the kitchen and would have made a great pic for this months comp

What a load of rubbish??? Now all I have to do is photograph a British Rail train.

So, who lives near to a landfill site?

just take a pic of anywhere urban in england or scotland and it will be rubbish

Hmm, so the quality of pictures now depends on the location of the afore mentioned photographic record?

maybe When I went to Norway I was a complete novice to using my SLR, didnt know any buttons so I left it on auto, and cos of the norweigan sky and scenery etc, lighting, All the pics instead of being overexposed and too bright they all ended up natural and lovely clear dark blue skys etc If you did that In scotland or england you get nothing but a burnt out white sky

Like this one or this one or this one?
