Hi SW. Sorry - I'm afraid I don't know - have you looked into getting the cartridges re-filled? I know there is a company in our area that does this at about half the price of buying a fresh cartridge.

Watch out, watch out, there's a Nessie about.

Good luck with the eye surgery, Cameraman. Hope it goes well and with as little discomfort as possible.

Squarebobbed... LOL

Hi Jigotai. Welcome (belatedly) and look forward to more shots in the future. Good shots, one and all. Love the B&W shot of HB's - brings out the character of the guy nicely. Snatcher will now have me dreaming Jurrasic style dreams tonight. And it also reminds me that I'm off to the dentist tomorrow. Thanks for that.

Well done all. Some great stuff in there. I'd struggle to get down to 6, to be honest - good luck OJ! Roll on good weather this month to get snapping in.

Incredible. What a talent. And he must have some expensive trips. Stunning landscapes and animal shots. Check out the running zebra in pictures of the month. Amazing. You have to ask the question why he's taken no lanscapes in the UK!! LOL.

Nice footage, Den.

Congratulations Ollie Jay. That picture had winner written all over it in my eyes. Superb shot.

Congratulations, Mr Wiggles. Have a good day. You want to watch out lashing yourself to a car. There are people round here who get their kicks out of things like that. Ask Elton.

As far as I see this, Mr W was saying he was not looking forward to having to judge the Feb comp as a consequence of having won the last comp. That, my friends, is humour. Nothing more, nothing less. It is not a comment on anyone's ability. The whole thread is, in fact, a reflection on the fact that entries into the comp have gone up. Which is a good thing, I believe. I think this has been taken out of context, which is very unfortunate. Andy.

Nice one HB. You entered that shot in the comp, I think and I remember it being a fantastic shot, because I think I was judging it!! I'm sure it will make someone very happy having that on their wall. Keep selling them, and you'll be able to fuel your lens lust. Edit: I was just looking at your profile and other work on that site Mick - nice collection already. But I did notice that you are soon to be in possession of a 70-200 f2.8. Congratulations on the purchase and many happy hours with it, once received.

Good stuff OJ. It looks like a nice camera that you've got there Have a blast with it and look forward to seeing plenty more shots in Photo of the Day and in the current comp. I'd hold back on getting loads of filters and lenses just yet. Play with what you've got and you'll soon see if there are any gaps in your armoury. If I were buying from scratch again, my order would be: Body Lens in the 18-70 ish category Tripod Circular Polariser Shutter release cord Lenses, lenses, lenses!! Welcome to the hobby that will break your bank account at the rate that you let it! ATB. Andy.

No siree. IMHO, 'aint nothing that likes to eat a camera more than salty sea spray. Some cameras are a little more weather proofed than others, but even so, nowhere near enough proofing to put up with the briny. It's not like you can give your camera a quick rinse under the tap like your reels.

Spring? It was frickin' -3 degrees here this morning. Mr W - have you emigrated to the land of HB and BobJ?

Congrats Mr W - a worthy winner! Take a well earned rest, chap!! Sounds like you need it, hanging onto a rail and soaking your kit to get that shot. Of course, less of a problem if you're a Nikon shooter.
