liked them car photos too really cool.. Started playing about with HDR a wee while back and when I seen the car sitting there I had to nip down and get a couple of shots.

i've a handful of pics and a good one of yourself, i'll post them soon as i get a sec. No probs

JPS, they really are fun, and go quite far considering their size, especially the 50grm

you can hardly feel the lead on the swing, its over in an instant

and any error on timing gets punished

the 50grm feels ridiculously light though :lol: :lol: :lol:


here's round 4 on the 100grm just after we reversed the court as the wind did a complete 180..

Yep was another great day with SCI. Sporting some nice sunburn to add to the usual aches and pains, but made a nice change to be too warm when casting.

Nice pics there Jonny too.
