Ahhhh those days of warm sunshine and vibrant colours in the garden. Can't wait until spring now that the shortest day is behind us.

Fantastic photos!
Can I ask what I can do about selling several lenses and body for a Minolta XGM ?
Does anyone use film any more? Or should I just bin them?
Several hundreds of pounds worth

I love the photos on here. They are all excellent

DSLR Sensor Cleaning.
I noticed that there was a fluffy spot on all my photos in exactly the same place on light areas. You will see this on the photo just down and to the right of the thing sticking out of the sea on this photo. Apparently the technical term for these is "Dust Bunnies"! They are bits of dust or pollen that somehow make their way in to your camera.
This means that your sensor needs a clean. Clocktower Cameras in Brighton charge £ 35 for this, so I investigated the possibility of doing it myself. It seemed a bit complicated, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I bought the sensor cleaning kit for my particular camera on Amazon for £ 18, got the technique watching several U-Tube turtorials and had a bash.
Absolute doddle and the dust bunnies have gone. (Eat your heart out, Sillet Bang!)
Took no more than 5 minutes, and with only using one swab, there's still three more in the kit to use at a later date.
A real saving and now no fear of the dust bunnies.

It could have been worse!
I looked at these but felt safer with the swabs and puffer. I assume you have an Arctic Butterfly? Any good?

Thought I'd venture in to the sunset tonight. Got shat on by a seagull. What a stink fresh seagull poo has. Missed my camera literally by an inch, but went all over the zip on my Parka!
The evening got better when I bumped in to Herr Tubthumper who was jogging along the seafront. After exchanging pleasantries, I headed towards the West Pier to get a few shots. I quite liked this one.

Taken in the glorious winter sunshine at Eastbourne earlier today.
I will concede that it is not in the same league as Jack Straw's fine effort but then I didn't get shat upon.

Nice foreground with gull on post. Shame the horizon isn't straight. Do you use post processing software? Photoshop/Lightroom have simple straightening tools.

I'm sure that's the culprit on that post!
Would you like me to straighten your photo for you? Otherwise, good shooting.
Yes, very good. I've had it for 8 years now, used to have terrible trouble with crap on the sensor and used to spend half my time getting rid of it with photoshop.

This is a cropped photo from Jack Straw's picture above. It's very complicated photographing aquarium subjects because of the relatively low light conditions couple with the fast movement of the fish.
This one was taken with the flash on and was pretty good....although the flash does pick out all he scratches on the glass.

That is a stunning photo Jack. Now i know, like art, photography is very personal, i thought the two upright pillars in the foreground spoil the whole thing. Just my humble and very uneducated opinion
