And not having any lead at all would be pointless. Just ask a pencil.

We used to have sinkers when we went angling.

angling? i thought this thread was all about photography?



just added a few more pictures to my autumn folder

A new camera? Perhaps this website might be somewhat inspirational(it certainly is wonderful to look at). It's http://www.BrucePercy.com and I found it on an open source TV & video player called miro( http://www.getmiro.com - hundreds of 'channels', including travel shows... I took a virtual cycle tour though a section of London - http://www.londonlandscape.tv ).

Thanks, jaz'd, I'll explore those sites when I get a minute.

Exceptional photography on the first one!

I'll need time to have a good look. I just clicked on the second link. Can you upload videos to that site, too?

i've only been fiddling around with it for a few minutes, but it seems like once your video is on your computer you can indeed use miro for watching it, bel

zap'd

what a great link, thanks for sharing

and now i'll shut up here and create a new thread for sharing great gadgets and seriously usefull stuf

I have VLC which plays nearly everything, is miro different?

i don't know VLC so others will have to tell you

I'll check it out myself when I find the time.

meanwhile i will try to take an upload new pictures today. the weather is even better than it was yesterday

A friend gave me a digital camera some time ago. Tried to view the 200 pics on my computer for the first time last summer, and after an hour of spinning cursor, the camera became a stranger to it's own memory card. Fortunately, the folks as the camera shop were able to save the pic's onto a CD (about 100 I really didn't want, plus some irreplacables, like mom's 62nd class reunion!). But now I'm afraid to hook it to the computer again.
My computer has it's own built in camera, which works fine , but is limited to it's location in the attic library. Not an interesting landscape.

So I'll just have to enjoy the ones you all take.

*waves to hstwrd*Hey stranger!

Hmm, I'm not familiar with VLC but I'd imagine they're much the same. So if you have one you may not really need the other. I'll Google VLC...yes it does sound similar.

Thanks, jaz'd, that was the impression I had.

Not a problem, with the photography!

Thank you, I'll need that.

Oh Anabel I just watched a story/piece on German garden gnomes this evening, on http://www.dw-world.de (I found that on miro).

one of my sisters is married to one

(well, he looks like one, anyway )

Thanks for the link, jaz'd. I never knew that dw was in English.

I'll have a look at your photos later, Pierce.
