I did drive the coach once or twice for Batty Holt tours when they had the contract for both Burnley and Blackburn Football teams. I got the sack for walking into the dressing room at Manchester United when Burnley were well down at half time, I asked Jimmy Adamson if I could have a pot of tea just as he was giving the team a rollocking. Adam Blacklaw was the goal keeper at the time. I have never been to a football match in my life apart from the few times I drove the coach. Last year I met a man who had restored the old coach and had it repainted in his own livery, he had removed the Ribbledale Batty Holt panel from the side and let me have it. That is my photo for today. |

Re: Today in pictures
Wasn't me max but first time I did a Blackpool - London Victoria with Standerwicks Gay Hostess motorway service I had to ask a passenger how to get from Archway to Victoria coach station.
I once did a mystery tour at RBH and asked the passengers where they would like to go, we finished up at Brimham Rocks over Blubberhouses. Mystery no more. |

hello all, havent posted for a while, but here goes, went up Fairfield yesterday, did the full horseshoe, my intention was to wild camp on summit, however i had lost my emergency water, and usually i find a spring to fill my water bladder from, however visibility was about 30 feet, so decided in the intrest of safety, that wandering from the paths hunting for water on the slopes, wasnt a good idea, so completed the horseshoe and came back home, bumped into some kind soul called Mathew, who shared some water with me about 3/4 way round (i was quite dehydrated by this time, carrying 15kg around)
not good for pics but here are some i managed, hope you like em |

Nice selection Church - looks like the bird in no 7 could be a raven, was it close up? How big was the lens used?

the shots where taken with my standard 18-55mm lens, i had my 70-200 in my rucksack, but knew if i had taken the time to dig it out it would have flown off, so we enjoyed each others company for a while, the pic was taken on summit of Great Rigg, i was sat on the summit cairn, and the raven was about 20-25 feet away. i was trying to get the atmospheric clouds "pouring off" Hart Crag/Dove Crag in the shot, it was one of the highlights of the trip. i have about 20 seconds of it on video on my phone but the lens was a little blurry, but you can plainly hear its a raven. |
Re: Today in pictures
Very atmospheric, those pics Church........made me very envious. Great shots.

Re: Today in pictures
I went to the Isle of White a few years ago and walked up to the top of the Battery(it is a big hill that overlooks the lighthouse)...I wanted to get a good shot of the light house and figured it would be great from that vantage point. I was accompanied on my climb up there by an elderly couple...both fell walkers....both well into their seventies.
I was gasping like a stranded cod fish when we got to the top, they were hardly breaking sweat. So age alone isn't a barrier to such pursuits...but you need to have a like minded companion...and mine isn't like minded. |

but if anyone ever fancies a walk on a fell but needs a walking partner for the day, just ask, as long as you dont mind stopping loads to take pics and just sit and admire, i take my time, its why i take the tent, can stop whenever i feel like it, sometimes i will sit at a summit for hours doing absolutely nothing, not even thinking about stuff, just looking, cant beat it and would recommend anyone get out there whatever the weather so who is with me |

1. Parked up, entered the Pines and found these straight away. 2. View from the bottom of the hill past Lower Dean reservoir. 3. Quick walk around the woods off to one side, this section of woods was that full of fungal infections last time I was here, I came away with thrush. 4. A crust fungi getting smothered by moss. 5. A look across Upper Dean Reservoir 6. Looking down across Lower Dean Reservoir. 7. I was caught up in the annual migration of the wildebeest, oh alright sheep. 8.Heading back up toward the Pines. 9.Then found these. 10. Then these. |

I LIKE snow........in photo's. On calendars, and on Christmas cards.
I'm not so fond of it in real life....I guess that might be because I'm older....young folk like snow. To them it is fun. Snow does make horrible places beautiful....what I mean by that is, if you look at where Woodnook Mill was knocked down, it is an eyesore...but if you cover all the debris with a good fall of snow.......it would look like a mini version of the alps |

The dog was just passing leading a man so I just asked him if I could take his photo.
The dog replied "take one of me instead" Margaret, number 7 slipped though the net. It wasn't at Castle Howard but across the lake taken from the lodge we rented at "Lakeside Lodges, York. I will try to find some more, it is a very peaceful place a mile from York city centre and totally secure with about a dozen lodges. |

Believe it or not the Peacock was a right show off.
As soon as I pointed the camera at him he opened his feathers and posed. I noticed he did the same when other people took photos. |

These are some more from Lakeside Lodge, not brilliant but you get some idea what a peaceful place it is, the Lodges are all on the waters edge and the one we hired had two ensuite bedrooms, a sauna and whirlpool bath.
Wi Fi was four quids a week. I just hope they can get my wife well enough to go again next year, it would do us both a world of good. Thanks by the way for the kind remarks and karma. |
Re: Today in pictures
It looks lovely Gremlin...I hope you get to go again.

Hiya all,
New here, just signed up today, and I have been informed that I have to pass a number of tests first :D So as a keen photographer (have to have some interests as I don't do football :p) I guess this is a thread I will feel at home in. Here are a few shots taken today capturing the lovely autumn colours, just before the thunder and hail storm later in the afternoon. Taken from my front door, as I definitely wasn't going to venture out in the pending storm. 1. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8329/8...e78f2f43_n.jpg Woodlands-2 by crystal_singer (drodd), on Flickr[/IMG] 2. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8052/8...2dd956d1_n.jpg Woodlands-8 by crystal_singer (drodd), on Flickr[/IMG] 3. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8189/8...006d82fe_n.jpg Woodlands-6 by crystal_singer (drodd), on Flickr[/IMG] 4. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8045/8...6352f245_n.jpg Woodlands-3 by crystal_singer (drodd), on Flickr[/IMG] Cheers Dawn :) |
Re: Today in pictures
Hiya again,
Just noticed that all photos on other posts are enclosed in a thumbnails box. I'm not sure how to do this, so if someone would be kind enough to explain to me what I need to do to achieve this, it would be much appreciated. Thanks Dawn :) |

Today in Pictures, a bit later than normal, they have only just released me.
1. A wet bit of Woodnook Water, just before it passes the old "Highams" site. 2. and off we go up-stream. 3. I don't think they have been used for a while. 4. Back on a flat bit, going under an overhead bit. 5. Time to form an opinion. 6. I was over there a few weeks ago, now I'm over here looking over there. 7. Back on the bit with very little footpath. 8. You can just see Shoe Mill in the distance. 9. Ta. Da. Shoe Mill. 10. Standing on the bridge, waiting for my ship to come in. |

Re: Today in pictures
I never edit any of my photos, they are straight from the camera and hopefully a true reflection of the scenes I have photographed.
Saying that I have noticed that some photos posted here look to have been enhanced and don't look natural. What I what like to do is have a go at editing my photos and altering the colours etc and wonder what editing software you use. I have Coral paintshop Pro X and Nikon software which came with the camera. Up to now I have never used them but maybe I could experiment and see how I get on. I have been an amatuer photographer for thirty years and buy a photo magazine from time to time. It seems more and more the articles are all about enhancing photos and not showing the real thing. It is time I moved on and had a go for my self. |

Thanks to all for the continued patronage and contributions to this thread, and for the kind words. As I have said before I get my socks wet so you don't have to, and recently slid on my jacksie down a wet slope, somersaulted on my head, fell down holes, and vanished down a ditch, all so you don't have to.

Today in Pictures...........today I got locked up
1.Leaving my car at Halfords for a couple of tyres, I had time to mooch, up to the canal and turned right. 2. As I have never walked this section all I can say is its Blackburn locks. 3. Another lock. 4. and just for a change, another lock. 5. I think this is the halfway out point. 6. If you hadn't guessed it, another lock. 7. I dont know where we are, but I know its a lock. 8. Well I never, its not a lock. 9. Does my barge look big in this. 10. I'v run out of space, but not out of locks, as I hade a few more to see before I hit the reverse button. |

I had a go at editing a photo tonight, I always preferred to see the natural picture straight from the camera but I wonder what you think of the difference and which you like best. The first is the original. I think I may have over cooked the second.

Re: Today in pictures
Like you Gremlin, I like natural pics, so the first one is my favourite...you can't improve on nature.......picture 2 has its own charm too.
I do edit pictures...I crop them and sometimes I have been known to do a bit of fiddlin'......Davemac will attest to this, since he led me astray with a FREE editing program, Photoscape. It is really really easy to use and you can have hours of cheap fun playing around with pictures. Here is a link:- Download Photoscape - Photoscape - Free Photoscape Download Have a go. I tried to get my hear around HDR, but my attempts were dismal failures...must be doing something wrong |

Like this Max,
I have charted a 40 foot Broom cruiser with my wife a few time to sail around Scotand and we used the Caledonian canal. These photos were taken from the boat. One taken half way across the Loch heading for Fort Augustus the other going the other way nearing Urquhart castle making for Cally Marina Inverness The software I used for the sunset scene further back was the Nikon one which came with the new D3200, I also have Coral paintshop Pro X. A gift from a friend. |

One more from the boat, Ben Nevis taken from Banavie Locks near Fort William waiting to get out to sea and Isle of Mull.
We had a right old struggle getting tied up. The wind suddenly got up and rain lashed down, ten minutes later the sun shone again. We were both soaked to the skin so we decided to get smartened up and took a taxi into Fort william for a decent meal. |
