    Wonderful photos guys....looks like you had a great time. Aren't "online" gatherings fantastic? Looks like you picked the perfect spot to do this...flowers and Henry....how much better can you get. I liked seeing some great shots of the photographers also.

    There's something fishy going on here:
    Attachment 48988

    Is this what Tom saw?
    Attachment 48989

    Or is it what Paul saw? Having to use his better camera as the rest of the kit misted up.

    I didn't have to look at my lens, just Roger's glasses, to tell if I'd get anything or not ...
    As you can see the misted up lens did give an interesting soft focus effect, when I cleaned only the centre (thanks, Roger and Tom !).
    I found my spudz at home on the table by the computer, with the spare SD cards, not even where i thought it was :blush2:

    Once the lens warmed up, and I'd borrowed Tom's PENTAX lens cleaner - thanks Tom.

    I'm afraid not Paul. All my skiing shots were dreadful.

    Beautiful shots gentlemen, too bad you don't live on this side near Miami, I'd love to shoot with all of you one day. By the way, we have a new Londoner by the name of courtneymiller on the forums who is trying to decide between a D80 and an EOS 30 D, or whatever you Canonites call those things, look her up and help her out. She is a 17 year old in need of guidance. I've already unduly influenced and messed with Deckcadet and a few others in my care, it would be really cool if you guys and Miss Alison could help inspire and guide her in the right direction.

    He's buying, so we can tell him all about it :)
