Challenge - where we at?

Lost track of who, where and when, as I think Toby stepped in to take over Kev's spot last time.

Is it now me...or does Kev get to take his turn now?

Posting problems?

Struggled to post those last three - at first would let me open the upload photos dialouge window, but when I picked a photo and clicked upload, then got an error message. Then wouldn't open the dialogue window at all...had to cut and paste HTML code from old messages in the end and swap in the new Flickr address.

Anyone else had problems?

Cheers - Tom

Challenge 2: Weather

Seeing as there seems to be so much of it around! (although sods law is we'll have dry, still, blue sky days for the rest of the monnth) Interpret the theme as you fancy.

Toby's rules seemed very apt, so no reason to change:

* Theme: Weather
* Submit up to 5 pictures.
* Post processing and digital manipulation is allowed.
* A brief line should accompany each photo (e.g. location or subject, camera, exposure details, etc).
* The photo must be taken between 12 November and 30 November 2008.
* Deadline: 30 November 2008.

Excellent stuff from the last challenge, look forward to more of the same...

Some semi on-topic stuff and some very off-topic stuff

1. For more fanboy entertainment, see the current reaction to the 50D review over at dpreview, almost as much fun as the Nikon tribe's chest beating after the D90 review. Anyone else thinking Dpreview have painted themselves into a corner somewhat by refusing to rate any DSLR below "highly recommended"?

2. Am I getting it wrong by writing f/8, rather than f8, or even F8?

3. Toby - possibility of new Doctor soon AND news Blakes 7 is being remade for Sky 1...are you managing to contain your inner nerd?

Name Change and Launch

Ok. I've changed the name. We're now at http://misanthropix.blogspot.com/.

Will post an initial challenge shortly.

So...

Are we going to use this blog? Are we going declare the camera club open? Do we want to think of a better name (I like MisanthroPics, so we could change the URL to that)?

If it is going, what do we do with it?
