Just a few random pictures either throughout the day, or a short walk, or any event that you are undertaking.

My day starts with "walkies" I think that will be most of my contributions but will try to vary it a bit.

1. Leaving Mercer Park, Rishton Road.

What is the guy in the pink t-shirt, crouched down on the left of pic 1 doing?

I vote he's cleaning his teeth!

Have the clones infiltrated the beach yet or what?

I didn't notice him until I got home and put the piccys on my computer, I think his wife washed him and put him out to dry.

They are indeed lovely pics.......the sunshine helps though doesn't it?
I mean the Canal at Clayton isn't a particularly attractive spot, but some of the pictures make it look so...the hot blue skies over the Bridge by the Con club.. picture postcard quality.

I have to say the camera does all the work I just point it and the EXR setting does all the rest.

The camera didn't choose the subject or frame the shot...you did that.
By the way what sort of camera was used for these shots?

Lovely photos again Dave - nice to see places i know so well and in glorious sunshine. Hope the good weather keeps up for you all -it does make such a difference

Mrs.P. thanks, the camera is a Fujifilm F500 EXR. 16 mega pixel 15x zoom.

Mobes, again thanks, any places you would specifically like to see? Your day will be interesting when it arrives!

[Margaret Pilkington]

thanks for the info.......I have an old Fuji camera....a lot more bulky than that little babe, but I also have a little Nikon P50...that is the one I carry around in my bag......not as many pixels and not as much Zoom in my P50
