About ?till I'm 50!!

Yep! It's the ole 49er today!! One short of the half century and, (as one of my brothers so kindly reminded me), not quite over the hill, but nearer the top than he is!!

And this is the town where I was born. The shot was taken on a recent 'reading break' at my parents' house.

I'm having a good day, despite my great age!! :o) You have a good one, too!

Best regards to all,

Chris

I think you must really WANT one of those 10.5mm fisheye lenses, Chris, 'cos there it is again as the lens you used for this, er, Kodachrome of Weymouth. Of course I don't believe a word of it! My next one is 68 (another couple of week). I think I preferred 49.


Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 7/21/2005
I think I've worked the lens thing out, Roger.
If I go back and edit a picture I've already uploaded, the lens setting, (if I've used the pull-down menu), seems to default back to the fisheye option! I'm not sure why, but I'll try and remember to watch this in future!!
Thanks for the comment!
Best regards, Chris

Happy Birthday Chris, you are a mere youngster :) - Life begins at 50 you know [40 is merely toying with it LOL] Have put a card up for you - hope you like it.
Margaret


Den Thompson   {K:30432} 7/21/2005
Just noticed Chris. Did you put the time delay on and went running up the front or do you have two bodies? Gotta keep fit now you're a 49er.

No time delay, Den! I'm so fast I just pressed the button and ran!! )

Two bodies would be nice at times!! You can't buy a spare one as easy as getting another D70!!

Thanks for the comment!

Best regards, Chris

Congratulations on reaching 49, Chris. And congratulations on reaching your great proficiency with the camera and PS, as demonstrated in this picture, in that short length of time :-) Best wishes for a happy birthday today and many more to come. Larry

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. And I'm purty too. Cassius Clay/Mohammed Ali.
Oh I just realised, you're too young to remember that saying.
