Yay! On second thoughts her legs look a bit hairy with the sun in front of her, are you sure it is not Bjorn Bjorg or whatever his name is?

You have just got to click on it after getting that sort of message Boatbuilder; sadly I wasn't offended :)

On the subject of the poster in question I saw a copy recently on the TV, I think it may have been on a wall in a scene in the programme 'The Detectorists'...a quirky little comedy on BBC4.

Used to have one of those posters on the wall at work many moons ago (wish I could have said it was mine) and took it with me when I finished the course

I say BB, those posters are a bit cheeky. Penguin1 :lol:

I guess you thought you would be offended by my earlier link Trigger. :oops:

Those who dared click on it would know who she was as it stated on that page.

I saw her interviewed on the TV earlier in the year, oh how things have changed now, but she has that brilliant poster to look back on.

How do you mean 'oh how things have changed now', Frankie? I am sure she didn't adopt the same pose in the interview. Or did she? :lol:

Unfortunately not BB, let's just say the Boots anti-aging cream had given up. ;-)

Rummaging around online re: photography, I came across some important information (which even I didn’t know!) explaining an important technique to take fantastic photos:

FART for Fantastic Photos
I take my best pictures when I FART first.
FARTing helps us remember to make a strong, meaningful photo instead of just snapping away and winding up with a lot of boring, thoughtless snapshots.
FART is a mnemonic for a creative process.

The article ends:
If you forget to FART first, as most people do, your photos will usually be boring.
FART first, and you'll make better pictures.

Well, I never knew that! Have just bought 6 tins of Baked Beans! Image

I wouldn't recommend using the FART technique at an airshow though, by the time you get around to taking the picture the plane in question will be miles away. However, I believe the FART technique could definitely pay off when there are too many other people around you trying to take the same picture ;-)

I was concerned about one aspect of my previous post - so I’ve been in touch with the site’s owner and he’s confirmed that using that “system” is not obligatory. You don’t have to use that technique before you take the photo . . . unless you want to.

53 of the worst Photoshop errors ever

In a year that Adobe's Photoshop has reached the ripe old age of 25, what better way to commemorate the age of the photo editing master than a collection of photos where the people at the helm of the edit suite didn't know what they were doing?

“Oh no! Not my camera!”

Having just read a post about a mishap with a camera - are you prepared to reveal anything similar that happened to you?

On my last visit to “Africa Alive” - walking along, I put my Panny FZ200 in my camera bag (I use the term loosely!) - heard a “bump” sound - glanced down- and there was the camera - on the ground! Fortunately, the ground was compacted soil/stones - rather than something much harder! And the only apparent damage was minor dent on the outer casing of the lens. I can only assume that when I placed the camera in the bag (without looking), I actually placed it on the top of the bag - and, naturally, the camera slid off! As the song says “When will they ever learn?” :roll:
