  4. Thanks everyone fkr taking the time to enter challenge #10 ! This challenge is now closed and judging will start. Hopefully the half term break won't delay voring too much! Thanks again. Ant
  5. Just a quick reminder that all entries for this challenge must be posted by end of tomorrow (31st Jan). Judging will take place shortly after and a winner(s) announced. Cheers Ant
  6. I'm going to start to voting shortly - toight. So anyone who has posted a reply in THIS TOPIC (in error) you have until tonight to CREATE A NEW TOPIC with your submissions - ONE image per topic. I would do it, but I'm busy at work .Plus if I miss one it won't be fair, I'd have to think of Subjects for each... You have until 6pm tonight (Fri 5/1), then voting starts. Thanks Ant
  7. Well done to everyone that entered the challenge. Once again (I'm like a broken record) really tough to vote. You guys make it so hard to pick just three.... Ant
  8. Thanks to everyone for entering images in this months challenge. Please note that the challenge is now over and judging will start. As usual it'll take us a few days to go through all the images and pick our winners. We hope to have this complete by the weekend. Thanks again to all those that entered Ant
  9. I have a mankini already packed.
  10. Thank you to everyone for the entries. These two challenges are now CLOSED. Voting will start and we hope to announce a winner around mid week. Cheers Ant
  11. Thanks to everyone who entered. Challenge number 4 is now closed. Voting will now start and we hope to announce a winner over the weekend, maybe early next week. But real life is getting in the way right now. It may be a little later. Cheers Ant
  12. You sure that's f4.7? Looks more like f8 (at least) to me. I've got a 6" f8 and I reckon your may be even higher than mine. Bet it's great on planets?
  13. It is currently in the list for Jan/feb/Mar '18. It *could* change, but unlikely I think. We also have a galaxy challenge for the spring planned. The fov on a DSLR will be ideally suited to that.
  14. It's over the winter - Jan / Feb / Mar, I think. I'll check. Ant
  15. My Skyris 274 a £700 camera has decided to packup on me.

    I think that this is probably the final straw. I no longer had the time, inclination or funds to carry on with this hobby.

      Look like a combination of issues. 

      The camera appears to have got confused. The usb lead I think has a fault, and lastly the laptop wasn't plugged in and I think wasn't supplying enough power through the port. 

      I think it might be sorted :) Big thanks to Grant.

      That must have made you feel a little happier.  There's always hope, and it seems things aren't so gloomy after all. Plus 1 for Grant too.

  16. Guys, If you want to enter the challenge - please start a new thread (for each image you want to enter) in this section. DO NOT reply to this post with an image. Any images that are in this thread won't even get looked at during the judging period. Ta Ant
  17. I'll give you a like as well for that, just to skew the numbers. I do think that software updates do muck things up a little. For example technically i'm member #1 or #2 (I cannot remember it was nearly 15 years ok). But due to an error during one of the software changes according to the current software I didn't join until may 30 2012. In fact I cannot even remember if the previous software had 'likes' or not.
  18. I think if you did that you'd be in with a pretty good chance
