Woodlouse asked for a few more shots so here they are. I've been a tad busy with other things recently. Wink

Flying Trucker might be interested in these. My friend took them with his little Fuji A330 costing £99 (end of range special offer), similar spec to my old faithful F401. He's been an amateur photographer all his life & asked my advice on a digital camera. As a keen & very talented artist he thought a small digital might come in handy for ideas for his paintings. Knowing nothing about computers he wanted something reasonably priced & easy to use for general snaps & landscapes so we plumped for this one. He's delighted with it & hasn't used his conventional cameras since.

I think you can tell the artist's eye compared with mine. He's been giving me some tips on composition & I think I'm gradually improving. Wink

I have to say they are lovely shots Doug, and the whole do makes Henley Regatta look a tad pathetic Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

All I can say Doug is that they are wonderful, fantastic and gosh I wish I had been there.

In shot #3 is that what we call waterfront condos here or is it an apartment building?

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Excellent pics. Now, not wanting to seem ungrateful or anything, but... Any more?

Thanks Woody. I have more but this will have to wait. I'm setting out for Duxford at some impossible hour in the morning. Tongue

Thanks Doug. This is part of the historic Portsmouth dockyard which is still an active naval base. I'm not sure but imagine they're living quarters.
