Like the vintage effect.
I was just yanking your chain mate.
Totally agree on the fanboy wars. It's ridiculous. If you're happy with a particular brand then all power to you, but don't pretend like it's the be all and end all. I always choose the camera that best suits my needs, which means I've had Canon, Pentax, Fuji, Panasonic and Sony over the years. They worked for me but it doesn't mean that they'd work for everyone and it certainly doesn't mean they are the best. Less time posing - more time getting others to.
Fanboyism makes me laugh. It is all a bit of fun on here... we need to stop taking it so seriously and get out and shoot!
After all... I have tried Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic and Leica and non of them have made me a decent photographer!
Granted a couple of them have made me enjoy stroking them a bit more but I find that doesnt help with my composition.
Even a job like mine gets the odd perk. Wish I'd been into photography years ago. I know a number of people who were buying stuff and then selling it on (which we are not supposed to do).
Sadly there won't be any more camera equipment coming back.
Canon vs Nikon Fanboy Feuds? say it isn't so!!
I was open to all brands when I bought mine, the 810 felt most comfortable to hold. Whichever it would have been, I still gotta learn to use the thing either way.
oh yes, photo time, all the flowers being posted, I remembered taking this on the weekend away which seems so distant now.

More flowers, slightly beyond their use-by date though.
Spent three days this week pulling down my old shed and erecting a new one and painting it. Apparently the most important part of the process was the fairy lights though.

I've been thinking of converting mine into a bird hide. Mostly it's full of crap we don't need anymore.
Sounds like my old shed. You couldn't actually see the floor for all of the junk thrown in there. I no longer have to wrench my back out trying to pull the lawnmower off of it all. It also appeared to be a graveyard for snails as one corner had a huge pile of shells in it.
Ours is the home of spiders. Sadly I'm not that keen on them. Mrs AFB even less so!
Back at ya ….. just in some guys front yard …
I'm ashamed to say that I got Mrs MacRy to drag stuff out of the old shed before I'd dispose of it because of the spider situation. I am petrified of them.
