Result on the camera :D took it back to the dealer and the conclusion was with my settings it shouldn't take one out of focus picture let alone a series,was offered a refund,credit note,or full cost trade in,i now have a brand new D7000,i know some will say i should have moved up to the D7100 but cost dictates many decisions in life and i have only just started exploring the D7000.

The once great fishing port of Grimsby is no more,we have a few netters still fishing and a support industry for wind farms but to the best of my knowledge this is the last trawler.The owners Ross where one of the biggest but now the last one is a museum piece.

Had some more practice with the mono pod,unfortunately its looking like i should be using it,more pictures to follow they are from my normal place as i have to go there once a week, so may as well take pictures.

Looks like you figured it out. For those who don't know you just use the button in the lower Left hand corner of the box where you are typing your message named "My Photos" and it will bring up your gallery photos so you can just click on the one you want it it will pop up the the message. Be sure to put a space in between the photos so there it some separation. Just looks better.

Very overcast day no decent light at all,thought i would take some general pictures of Grimsby,its not a pretty sight in some places so the light was right for the mood.

The first one is a symbol of our past wealth when this was the town for fishing,its said the only reason the Germans didn't bomb the dock tower was it made a land mark for them,taken looking down the once great shopping area off the town Freeman street,i repeat once great.

This is the ice house on the docks not allowed to take pictures on the docks so this is the best i can get,it has a preservation order on it but no one will look after it.

Some more showing the state we are in,the boat sank over 20 years ago the chap living on it had no money so its been left in the dock,the derelict buildings are just behind the main shopping area.

The last for now in my Grimsby set,a flour mill the back and front have been converted into flats,they ran out of money before doing the main center building.

Just been playing again,the last sepia i posted was done by adjusting the sepia option in elements,this time i removed all the color then added it back on a individual basis,the sky is empty because we have just had blanket cloud today.

It must happen to others,you plan a session arrive at the spot and realize immediately you should leave your camera in the car boot,well i didn't have that much sense so ended up with pictures that would have been so nice if only.

Sigma 120-400,wide open which i know it doesnt like,15th of a second iso 800

As you can see a crop was not an option.

Thanks Jeff,i will return to the spot later in the year,its a feeding station in some woods that has been going for nearly 30 years but too much leaf cover at the moment.
