Great shot MacRy and loads of fun I'll bet.
Definitely a lot of fun. I feel 18 again
"New" turntable arrived today. Been listening to a lot of Stone Roses since it got plugged in

Fantastic POV. They'd sound so much richer from vinyl, with the right setup! I'd be going the Happy Mondays, too... Probably my favourite era for British music...
Did you need a pre-amp for your turntable? In my experience that was the weakest link in the many audio setups I have listened to over the years.
no, we didn't have breakfast there, we got up to late.
We haven't been to Avon in years we usually go to Springlake because it's closer and it has the longer boardwalk for our walk.

Happy Mondays have made an appearance, along with The Charlatans, The Inspiral Carpets, James, Primal Scream.....etc. My youth relived
I'm running it through a vintage Pioneer amp and it sounds delicious.

that's a great close-up and a cool new purchase

Comments welcome
Beautiful lighting and bokeh.
I asked the couple if I could include them in a pic. But my stock pix are editorial in nature (rather than commercial), so I tend not to ask for model releases. I would only bother with MR if I was setting up a shot with models (ie people who were being paid) or if I'm asked to get them (I'm doing some shots, for a heritage organisation, of their properties, and they want MR when appropriate). For general editorial stock (ie for uses that aren't advertising) releases aren't needed. I'm just very careful about captions, keywording, etc, which can be the causes of problems...

EOS M Test by SimonNicholls27, on FlickrTesting out the EOS M the other day that'll go alongside my 6D.
Great little camera, especially for the price you can get it here in the UK currently.
Just got back from a holiday in Cyprus and testing my new 50mm 1.8. Cat pics are the most important.

Thanks AFB. I recently had a few days off work and hung-out at a marsh not far from home. The egrets and herons stayed a distance from shore and I don't have a boat so I spent the time mucking around with a combination that's new to me:
D7100 with a 500 f/4 and 1.4x TC = 700mm optical length = 1050mm equivalent.
One morning I pointed it east across the lake and could have sworn I saw you out in your garden. Btw, love your macro water drops.
Thanks for the reply and explanation. I assume you consciously choose to focus more on the editorial stuff on purpose?

Thanks. My best reach is D7100 with a 70-200f2.8 with a 2x TC. That drops it to a 5.6 and the IQ does suffer.
Time to dust off the vinyl...
Seeing MacRy's turntable inspired me to get mine out of storage and fire it up again. Unfortunately the amp's dead, so it looks like that'll be an upcoming expense.
Posed it with the Ramones - Road to Ruin to add a splash of colour.
