All the best in your retirement Iain. I have been retired for a few years and it's a very nice life style.

Good luck with your Canon gear. I hope you still remain an active member here as I have learned a lot from you. Keep posting the wildlife shots as looking at the photo, I can't tell if it was a Nikon or Canon which took the shot - just a solid photographer.


I'll still be around as long as I'm not kicked off for being a traitor.

:rofl:
No chance.
We might apply the hot coals and the Nikon Green Monkeys in an attempt to woo you back to using Nikon stuff but hopefully it wont be too painful.
:thumbsup:

Iain, "and in doing that I don't want too need a donkey to carry my gear around."

If a donkey was good enough for Ansel, why not for you???

:rasper:


Ray, the problem is where I live if you leave the donkey on it's own, someone will come along and pinch it.

:rofl:


Round here they would eat it!:sick:

All this talk of retirement is making me rather envious! I could take my pension at any time but I want to finish my current project and that won't happen until around the middle of next year, then I need to give six months notice and...

We shall see, I am not ready to vegetate yet I would like to do something two or three days a week.

Enjoy your retirement.

That is how I felt when I was working.
I wanted more time for my stuff rather than working long hours and getting paid sheaves of money but being too tired to enjoy it.

So now I have 100% my own time, I enjoy the slower pace and ability to do what I want.  One annoyance is I still cant control the weather!!

At least you have a better chance of good weather than we have in the UK.
