Yes, the fence is a big problem. You have to turn the autofocus off and pre focus on a certain point. Believe me, I tried panning, not panning and a variety of shutter speeds.
well is a hell of a lot better than all the blurred photos I got with Mrs RB's compact digital camera.

Watching tens of thousands of people taking pix of the F1 on their cell phones is a bit, ahem, mysterious.

EPY - nice thread, all weekend I've been seeing my neighborhood from new angles, literally.

There's a cat in there somewhere. This was taken with an averageintelligencephone by an averageabilityphotographer. Nokia 6288.
A woman walked into a pub and asked the barman for a double entendre. So he gave it to her.

I live next to a river where they've done a swell job building playgrounds and simple park facilities along the banks - a little oasis in a part of town dominated by HDBs, factories and traffic arteries. (Hey! That rhymes!) This little cat was having a snooze on a rock beside the water.

This was taken by a keen photographer aged 2.5 in the Lake District - thinking of getting him a cheapy digital for Xmas as I'm worried about him breaking him mine.

Ok, too big to add as usual. How do I reduce a file size? Currently 2.22Mb, needs to be less than 2.

Here's my contribution. This was taken on a phonecam a couple of minutes ago, just outside the building where I work.

I'm still trying to figure out if Bender is male or female. I know he has no TLC rights but some of the things he posts... re the cupcakes etc. ..

work photo will have to wait as resizing is so tedious.

In the meanwhile, here's a picture of LKY's house.
