That wasn't a hint

It was a statement of fact .... I am in a living 'fight club'

You just broke the first rule of Fight Club =))

Put the long telephoto lense on today;

MF, I don't think your photos are rubbish- surely its just down to the really murky conditions?

nah just rubbish :))

but I post them for interest & to share the day, not my photography skills..

Sorry I missed you both, I was at the mound, and have had no internet for 2 days thanks to orange updating the thingie or something ~x(

(I really must read those e-mails that they send me =))

).

My pics are just not worth posting =))

There might be some video, but don't hold your breath =))

by **Mayfly** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 10:09 pm

Pleased you're OK Helen - I said you might be at the mound bet your pics are better than mine!!!!

by **Hihonyr8811** » Fri Apr 30, 2010 10:20 pm

Bet they're not

I enjoy people watching at the mound =))

All the chaps with their big lenses remind me of meerkats, the way they follow what ever they're photographing, it's more fun than the display =))

The two tornados were great, especially the last pass with wings swept back, came right over my head, my ears were ringing for a good couple of hours lol =))
