One hundred and one

Oh yes we have.

Why should all lawyers graves be dug to at least fifty feet?

Because deep down, they are not all that bad.

Is Fords Theatre still open?
Can we get him there????? :-)

At least you know where you are with a used car salesman. :-)

Sounds about right for this pathetic apology for government.

Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to get rid of it and there is certainly not a better alternative to what we have been landed with.

Time we had a dictator to sort this countries problems out. :-)

Hi, I bought my Polaroid GPS on E-Bay and when I went to the archived purchase, I see that the seller does not have them now.

I looked on Google and one ad on Amazon says unavailable.

This link says they are available:
http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/11915654/art/polaroid/geotag-gps-shutter-releas.html

(You might have to play with the first four letters of the address if it does not work.)

but the price is over twice what I paid for mine.

There are several other makes of geotag units available; some obviously from China: varying in cost from £40 upwards.

I think that I was lucky when I bought mine as it was marked as the last one available and on reflection, it looks as if the merchant had priced it to sell. I could be wrong but I am happy with it as it logs the lattitude, Longitude and height in the metadata ( if thet is the correct term, I am a newbie at digital photography) and using that information with the Nikon programme that came with my camera, it takes you into Google world and shows you where you took the shot.

I would love to able to buy Nikon accessories however, living on a pension means that one has to cut corners occasionally.

I am using a Polaroid GPS with my D5100 and it works perfectly.

£35 for the Polaroid GPS against over £200 for the Nikon GPS.

Ideal for a Scottish, Jewish, Yorkshire man. :-)

One trusts that the meaning of both the written and spoken word may be understood without ambiguity or confusion, regardless of the language used.

I have a couple of wooden tripods for surveying equipment which I have been considering using with my camera now that I am more or less retired. I know that these tripods have very little problem with vibration; one of them having been regularly used to support £45000 worth of high precision survey equipment which weighs considerably more than my new DSLR and 70 - 300 lens.

However! They do not fold down into small transportable packs and neither of them can be described as lightweight.

Obviously, these are tripods which need a large car or small truck to transport which I have no problem with as long as the dog does not chew on one of the legs. :-)

I would be interested to hear if anyone else has used surveying tripods for cameras and if so, what type of head did they fit to the single screw mount on the tripod to allow pan and tilt of the camera.

I recognise number one, I photographed it last Thursday.

Nice pictures, all of them.

WOW. Beautiful birds and fantastic photographs.

"And don't forget what that astute chancellor Brown managed to do, what every chancellor before never did and that was to sell the British gold reserves of at rock bottom price, Oh and rob the pension funds too.

Yes, I had forgotten about the gold reserves. It is no wonder we are a bankrupt country. Mind you, we can still send millions of pounds to third world dictators so that they can buy an even bigger Mercedes------------What! The money is for the poor and needy????
It would be better used in this country.

Unfortunately, there is nothing to choose from when voting for politicians or political parties in the UK. They are all simply slightly different shades of the same vulture which is only out to feather it's own nest. For example, the expenses that they still pay themselves; out of taxpayers money: and the tax relief that they have voted in for the rich, i.e. themselves, and the ever higher taxation they levy on the working man.

As for Blair and Brown, they are the two worst things that ever came out of Scotland with Brown selling off the pension funds and Blair with his blatant selfish capitalism.

I think I was married to that one once!
