I just haven't had much enthusiasm for the Hobby of late, too many other irons in the fire, or just plain being lazy, Olympics on TV, Motorcycles to ride, Amateur Radio to play, etc. Even the wife suggested a photography trip through the White Mountains, couldn't push me to action.. I am just finishing up a trip back to Detroit for my 52nd year High School reunion, and that wasn't really every enjoyable.. Too many really old people ????? :-(

If I were you Ray, I would pass on the 53rd reunion, it can only get more depressing, retirement is to be enjoyed. ![]() Do you find life come in phases? I think so, do what you enjoy and go with the flow. Just pop in and keep contact with your friends here. cq cq, cts <vbg>

Not sure about the 'competition' idea. Different skill levels I feel would put a damper on the enthusiasm to keep 'entering'. Its one occasion where I feel competition persay would be counter productive. IMHO I would prefer just a 'topic for the month' approach, where we are invited to depict the topic. No prizes, no ranking - just a bit of discussion about people's intepretation of the subject.

Like others things crop up and go in cycles which takes us away from snapping sometimes. Just pressed the shutter button for the first time in six months after three spells in hospital and a few complications along the way. Altogether I've not had much to say forum wise. Do find the new format a bit daunting. Almost too much choice when logging on compared to old front page and hard for me to spot new comments or threads.

Bob, Use this URL and make a bookmark of it. http://nikondslr.uk/index.php?show=recent Then click on the DOWN ARROW after the topic name. That [should] take you to the last unread post in that thread. Sometimes it's a couple of posts too high in the list. That is the only way I access the forum. I can't be doing with looking at individual sections, impossible to work that way, faaarrr toooo clunky.

well my excuse for lack of photographic activity is as follows: 1) voluntary redundancy from public corrupt sector after 11 years. Paid off Mortgge. 2) Sold Mini Cooper. 3) Bought Mazda MX5. 4) Self employed for while. 5) Now back in the defence industry. 6) New hobby: watch collecting & repairs. Precious metals. Cruising around rubbing ex work people's faces in it. 7) MX 5 takes up most of my time and passion.

Ray..."Motorcycles to ride, Amateur Radio to play" Same here, had loads of bikes when I was younger. Basically not many had cars back then, bikes was all we had and you needed mechanical knowledge or you didn't get to work on time. As for amateur radio, well I have rigs here... a TS520S and a TS 700G. Not licenced though I suppose I should get around to it one day. Spent some time with the Foreign Office in years gone by that's how I acquired skills & became morse proficient.
