I'm pleased to read you had a good day out and thanks for the PM too...photography from a moving coach? camera on it's fastest settings, flash off, press button just as the scene starts int view, a good measure of anticipation required (but with digital no problem)...a bit late I know John. I look forward to your rain reflection works.

Hi Mel, Thanks for the info on the photography. I'll give it a try next time, but I have only a 'compact' digital, and there is a good delay between shutter firing and the recording process, even if I half-depress the button. This usually results  in blurring. Mind you that might help with a looser approach! Thanks againJohn

Thank you for the info Artwayze. Liverpool is surely in the news at the moment and I wish that I could travel there. Where there is Art and artists I want to go. Funny enough this morning I was watching the news and I saw the spider that you mentionned : a lot bigger that the one I am scared of ! 8-)

Hi Aqua, You are most welcome. There is a feature on the 'spider' on the Yahoo page, togeher with a video clip. I have to say, this thing looks very real when it's hanging off the side of a building! regards John

Thanks again Mel. There is a sports/action button on my compact. I never thought to use it for art purposes though. I am not into photographing sport, so I never investigated the 'mode'. A weekly dose of Match of the Day is about all I can stomach and even that palls. Especially after the recent two weeks of Olympics! Sport is good, but overkill is deadly! I'll pursue experiments with the button! Thanks againJohn

Mel wonders of the post re Liverpool a fabulous City worthy a stay over visit which I did this many years ago... Sport & Meltemi? Advanced Sporting Activity. Is defined as: breathing out after breathing in. Then If I could find someone-else to do that for me I would...

Hi, I have only just joined the site. I am hoping some one will come to my aid. I live in the Addlestone, Surrey area. I have been going to a watercolour couse at the Woking Adult Education Centre. Was supposed to be for the complete beginner. I am the only person in the class that had never touched a paint brush, all the other people have been doing the course for two years. Consequently I am getting no place fast. I am looking for a course or art teacher to give me lessons in the Woking or Guildford area. Do any of you artists have any ideas as to I go about find one? I have searched the internet to no avail. Hoping someone can help me. Thank you for reading. Shirlann.
