When I got home from golf today I saw a whole bunch of "notifications" amongst which was an achievement and an AWARD - I felt like a real Oscar winner and was seriously contemplating changing my username to Oscar. :o I have no idea what it is all about but I have just received another...

Day 23 I played golf today and made 7 pars (the rest of the score is classified information) I decided to do something different and took some, shall we say, not traditional photos. #1 Hands at address #2 Feet at address - from behind. #3 The follow thru' #4 Different view of the...

I've always liked this unusual tree at the 15th green at Lochiel Golf Club. I have no idea what it is and assume it is a New Zealand native. Here is another one adjacent to the 14th fairway.

Day 22 Was …. well …bleh! As I went out it started raining! May have to do some indoor shots tonight. But for now and to stay in: And this old lady just absorbed whatever the rain threw at her ... And nobody was interested in bussing it today.

Spotted this in the garden. I never knew Sunflowers got more than one flower on them. This one currently has 3 (there is one behind the main flower but not visible from this angle) with more coming out the sides of the main stalk. And then these little chaps were screaming to be photographed...

Part of my 365 series. The trouble with the 365 thing is I keep missing other stuff! Anyway this is a repost so my apologies in advance if you have seen it already.

What the heck let's give it a go. Needs rewiring?

Day 21 A bit of a mixed bag today. Came across this colourful kiddy center. And on the other side of the modern spectrum a burnt and gutted house. This is an internal room and the good thing about it is that it proves I need a wide angle lens. And it was an angry sky this afternoon that...

@hark the one I got is pretty big about 5" from exhaust to tip and it does give a good burst of air. I think I may take a trip to US with an empty suitcase one day and fill it up with accessories for the return trip.

National Medicine? Do you mean national health? Our health system is pretty good and fairly cheap being a bit of a socialist country. However if you are on the "national system" you do wait, those with private insurance get taken care of first. I hope I haven't gone off at some weird tangent...

I've just bought a rocket blower and lens pen from these guys: Photoshack.co.nz About NZ$45.00 for the two. I could have got the same thing from Amazon for way less: Giottos Cleaning Kit which includes a NIKON Lens Pen and lens cloths! Grrrrr ….. Way less than half the price for more. I...

@Chase Home Screen being the one with all the forums on - I presume. If not then find the "forum" tab and click on that which will open all available forums. Then select the forum you want to post in and click it Select "New Topic" give it a heading and away you go

Some great photos here: http://seriouslyforreal.com/amazing-world/63-of-the-most-beautiful-abandoned-places-part1-33pics/ Makes me realise why I am hooked on this hobby

Day 20 Candles are not original but I decided that i would call this one "Rancher" to remember today and as a tribute to Dave.

My flat mate at the zoo trying to get a good shot of the Giraffe.

Decision made. Day 19 will be one I look back on as a learning curve or a day I would like to forget. Note to self: Instead of harping on about it just start from scratch learning HDR and more specifically my camera settings. To prove I did take a photo (or two) on the day here is my test HDR...

Thanks @hark I'll definitely take a look at those.

Posted before but never saw this thread

It was this one in my 365 thread

Yeah it was the Heineken! :D @scott you won't believe it but it is my version of the swan photo you fixed! I should have shown her yours and I would have got more than 50p for it.
