:: My Best Moments And Pictures of 2007!! ::
Well what a year that was! But it wasn't very long was it?! Where DID it go?
I think the highlights for me were:
** Moving house **
** Visiting Australia **
** My son qualifying as an airline pilot **
** Taking aerial photos with Richard at the controls of the plane **
** Losing my job **
** Meeting so many Pbasers from around the world **
** Making so many new friends through Pbase **
** Making one very special friend **
** Acquiring my Canon 30D **
** Finding out that you should do what makes you happy and that we have just one short life **
** Discovering the most amazing second cousin **
** Too many silly SP's! **
** Quality Moments Spent With My Family **
But best told in pictures (Chronological Order):

Bath Abbey - using Gorillapod!
Went very briefly to Bath last night with the family who also wanted to escape the TV and food/drink!
I took my new tripod (faulty and unusable grrrr!) and
Gorillapod .
Although, I fear it is not strong enough to use as a mini-tripod with the heavy 'L' lenses,
it is great fun to wrap around a post or bench rail and take a long exposure shot that would have been impossible to hand hold.
And this is one such example!

A Dog Is For Life Not Just For Christmas!
Don't you just love 'people watching' at Christmas? We went for a walk near Stonehenge today.
Families who rarely see each other were out walking off the seasonal excess in varying degrees of
harmony! This dog was running around completely out of control, ignoring the owners' vain attempts
to get her to come! It charged around like a lunatic, pestering other (better behaved) dogs.
At one point the owner's wife started to laugh. The owner, furious with embarrassment, shouted "It's NOT funny!".
At which point family members and nearby strangers laughed even more!
Still it was a chance to practice my panning with the Autofocus set to Servo!

Cold Front
I've probably taken one decent picture all week due to work commitments, and the atrocious weather, and today has been grey and damp most of the day.
So I didn't bother going for an afternoon walk with the family much to my regret. The sun came out for 20 minutes ahead of a cold front.
My son, Richard took this and several other excellent shots with his Fuji F20 Point & Shoot.
Moral: however few pictures you can take, there's an opportunity around the corner, and it's better to be in the right place at the right time with a modest P&S
than at home with your fancy SLR gear still in the bag! Oh, and never plan your photographic day according to Weather forecasts!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to My Polish Friends!!
I hope this is correct!! Apologies if not!!
