Re: Competition #256 - Historic Tyldesley (or Atherton, or.....)

Many thanks to everyone who contributed images for this, always appreciated when more people join in.

Competition #256 - Historic Tyldesley (or Atherton, or.....)

When we first saw the signs for Historic Tyldesley we were puzzled, thinking what on earth was historic about Tyldesley. But there's Damhouse, Astley Green Colliery, the old graves from the burned down church opposite Damhouse, Chaddock Hall, Gin Pit, probably much more. But that's just an example. ...

Re: Competition #255 Lockdown Letdowns

017 1000px Version.jpg This is the box that was sent to our troops and their families at Christmas 1914. I've been looking for it for a while, I remembered opening a box and thinking why did I put that in there and then thinking oh well, it's safe. So safe I forgot which box. But I was sorting out ...

Re: What's your favourite ever lens?

Lenses are a subject close to my heart! But there are so many, and so many favourites depending on what they are wanted for. Generally, if I'm using APS-C cameras then the 18-135mm WR lens suits me very well, the whole being weather resistant and the lens covering most possibilities. So, Pentax K-3 ...

Re: Looney Facebook Rules

I think most of the problem is with odd things triggering algorithms. It's the sheer volume of posts that makes this necessary.

The difficulty is in then contacting someone human to put things right.
