Hi Claire!
That's quite alright!
No problem with the delay, I've been rather busy myself, so no harm done! I've got so many pictures I need to get round to uploading!
And yes I'm very well you? I've just had a week off work, and got to go for a Meerkat Experience at a Zoo where I got to go in their enclosure and feed them and have them run around and over me etc, it was great! Pictures to follow!

"Dear fellow member" Ha that best be a group message Sounds good to me! Looks like I need to get snapping, I've recently bought myself a polarising lens, so should be able to get some great Landscapes...if we ever have any sun!
Oh also what happened to our photography day?

Oh well done! (:
I don't think i'll be getting a new lens until my
21st :[ Oh well!
I'm really sorry about this Dave . I'm in the process of
going from a job with Weekly pay, to a job with monthly pay and i've been struggling all month. \: I'll be getting paid next week, so i'll be sorting out a date soon! Can you do any day in the week at all? As I always work weekends.

Oh no!
Sorry no it's not a lens, it's a Lens Filter, missed a word out! Only cost me £5! lol Yes I'd like a new Lens, but equally will probably have to wait until my 21st, but I don't know whether or not to get myself a Tablet (Like an iPad or something) for my 21st...or to get a graphics Tablet, to do some digital drawing! lol decisions decisions!
Haha it's okay, I'm only teasing! Ah no, yeh I can see how that would make things tight money-wise!
Hmm well I work Mondays-Fridays, so that's a bugger lol. You work all day Saturday and Sunday? Damn how do you ever see the F1 Grand Prixs! Hmm looks like we'll need to re-think that one then!! Errm maybe some evening? Sunsets! lol

Hi Dave!
Thank you for adding "Wispy Seeds" to your favourites!
Also, sorry for the delay in sending this message - had a few IT related problems the last few weeks!
Hope you're well and had a great time in Egypt!

Hi Claire!
No worries, sorry I haven't been on for a while myself, complete and utter lack of Broadband speeds unfortunately But BT Infinity is coming to my area soon thank god! I'm getting speeds of 0.11 Mbps! I also need a new computer too, going to build myself a desktop I think!
I'm very well thank-you, hope you are too? Egypt was fantastic, unfortunately that little camera i bought was **** so I took the pictures on my phone instead, will upload some soon.
Also I took some photos you may be interested over the jubilee weekend, I went to Slimbridge? Over 600 photos and I've got some good 'uns that you will like!

Somebody-Somewhere In reply to lfcmadness [2012-06-09 18:59:53 +0000 UTC]
Those internet speeds suck Hopefully they'll pick up / infinity will come soon!
Glad you're well and enjoyed Egypt - am definately looking forward to seeing pics. Though it is a shame the Kodak wasn't too good
I'm not too bad thanks - managed to book off random days this month so I'm not doing another full week in the office until July! Hoping the weather is nice on my days off so I can head out with my camera!
Definately interested in seeing jubilee pics! Nothing much happened around my way (that I'm aware of), so I enjoy seeing other's celebrations all the more! Hope the internet speeds pik up enough so you can upload them!

lfcmadness In reply to Somebody-Somewhere [2012-06-10 13:10:54 +0000 UTC]
Fingers crossed!
Well i can edit the pics at home and upload them at work, no internet issues there i suppose!
Ah wow, I'm all out of holiday now, Egypt kind of used it all up lol Hopefully some of that warm sunny weather will come back, otherwise you can always try and get macro shots of raindrops on the windows
My cul-di-sac had a street party, but we opted out and went to Slimbridge, much better time spent in my eyes! Well over 60 photos to sift through from that

Somebody-Somewhere In reply to lfcmadness [2012-06-10 15:41:40 +0000 UTC]
That's definately one way to get around the internet issues!
I wouldn't be allowed to do that at my workplace
Awww, no, running out of holiday sucks - though at least you spent it on good things!
Hoping the weather does come back - am hoping to go too London zoo on Wednesday, so really hope the weather's good for then!
Ah, that's cool! Glad you had a good day!

lfcmadness In reply to Somebody-Somewhere [2012-06-12 15:32:04 +0000 UTC]
Haha my works fairly relaxed on that kind of thing luckily!
Yeh, but they start over again in August, and I've got the 1st booked off ready
Hope the weathers good for you tomorrow, looking forward to the photos!

Somebody-Somewhere In reply to lfcmadness [2012-06-14 12:26:40 +0000 UTC]
Ah, at least you don't have to wait too long til the holiday year starts again then!
Weather wasn't too bad in the end - though it was cloudy for most the time I was there...
Also went a bit snap happy.... got somewhere in the region of 2000 photos to sort through now (This is much of the reason I refrain from taking my camera out too much on trips lol!)

lfcmadness In reply to Somebody-Somewhere [2012-06-14 21:51:29 +0000 UTC]
Nope! And I've already got a trip booked in to a Zoo! My girlfriend bought me a Meerkat Experience for my birthday last year, so we're going to go do that, plenty more photos for me too!
Well least it wasn't raining
That's a hell of a lot, you got all that on one Battery Charge? Mine maxes out at about 800 shots! Or have you got battery grip / spares? I think that will be my next accessory! Looking forward to seeing them!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Somebody-Somewhere In reply to lfcmadness [2012-06-24 15:50:59 +0000 UTC]
Meerkat experience sounds rather cool! Is it spending the day getting close to the meerkats, or more like being a zookeeper for a day?
Yea, 2000 may have been overkill, but I did get 190 or so decent ones out of it Also have about 50 that I can't open (shot in RAW then remembered I don't have software to open those photos; another thing on my "to purchase" list is photoshop or another program!), so may have got a few more OK ones! Just need to find time to upload them now!
I did indeed get them all one one battery charge - the battery life is suprisingly good on my camera! Had a spare battery with me just in case though!

lfcmadness In reply to Somebody-Somewhere [2012-06-25 15:43:34 +0000 UTC]
Well it's only a small experience, I get 30 minutes in the enclosure while they are fed, should be great fun!
Haha! I did the exact same thing, I went to Slimbridge and shot in RAW thinking oh this will be great! Then got home opened up Photoshop CS5 and it doesn't recognise RAW Adobe Lightroom does though, and it's cheaper!! Or there is Photoshop Elements 10, which strangely does deal with RAW I believe?
Wow that's incredible, my battery is only rated at about 800 shots before it runs out of juice I'll need some spares I think!!

Somebody-Somewhere In reply to lfcmadness [2012-06-25 22:40:00 +0000 UTC]
Ah, that sounds really cool! And fun too
It's annoying when that happens isn't it? Thank you for the tips though - will look into elements / lightroom! Though may have to wait til I've sorted out my laptop (got around 20gb left at the moment; and another day at the zoo tomorrow (Marwell this time! ). So I may have a *few* issues with storage space lol.
I do have to say I'm impressed with my battery life on my camera. I definately recommend having a spare battery though; they may be a tad on the expensive side, but are worth it (I have an 'Energizer' brand as a spare and it works as well as the one that came with the camera )

Uh-oh! Looks like someone needs an external hard drive
Yeh that's really good to get that many shots, unfortunately reading online apparently D3100s are very good at recognising 3rd party batteries and as such just say error and won't work with them
