    Thanks, I am pleased with the way it turned out, apart from the wind induced shakes. I never used to use my previous cameras on full digital zoom because detail was lost but now in HD the quality loss is not as noticable. Just a pity that there was no sound until she got close.

    Thanks Stuart, it was a lot better this week than last... the rain was coming from behind this time.

    Nearly got caught out at Ais Gill thank goodness we made a move from the car when we did. Taken in some of the worst weather conditions I have ever seen at Ais Gill only a few hardy souls on the hillside.

    Great vid - captures the wilder aspects of the Long Drag perfectly :) The audio clip at the end made me laugh !

    Thanks for posting the photos and videos, it looks like the weather took a turn for the worst after left to go to work! Looking at whats been posted up I wish I had been able to stay out for the return. Heres a still from Ribblehead, I've not had a chance to look at the vid yet.

    Nothing wrong with a Box Brownie! As they nearly used to say, it isn't what you've got it's what you do with it (in Photoshop \:D/).

    (For those who don't know about embedded EXIF data; it was taken with a Canon A720IF.)

    Yes, the first name is the same but, no, I'm the other one.
    I may never have had his opportunities, earned the sort of money he did, had the fame or 10 years with Marie Helvin but I'm younger and far better looking than he is...
