Mist rolling in across Loch Leven at dawn. by Kernuak (avalonlightphotoart.co.uk), on Flickr
Beautiful composition and conversion
Tusen Takk.
Du er hjertelig velkommenLiker som tidligere sagt komposisjonen, og de tonale overgangene er fine. Nesten så det skulle vært printet ut på stålplate!

This was taken at an impromptu demonstration against the British National Party.I think that's what the Celtic culture brings, while not so many speak the Celtic languages now, the philosophy remains. Accept the invaders, immigrants and visitors and make them Celtic. That way, it tends to breed a greater tolerance for others. Of course it hasn't always been the case, but generally over the centuries, it breeds true. While the Westcountry still has its Celtic roots, a lot of the Celtic culture and philosophy has been diluted unfortunately and I have witnessed slightly off-colour comments that weren't quite racist, to the point that I was asked if I spoke English when with some Poles, which I found a little amusing in its irony. It's the strange blend of nationalism with tolerance that makes it possible and proves that nationalism and identity doesn't have to mean intolerance and racism. Sometimes that nationalism and sense of national identity is misunderstood unfortunately and can be distorted with undesirable consequences.
I happened to be walking down Glasgow's main shopping area with my camera bag when my attention was taken by some ragtags and bobtails wearing hi-vis vests with the union jack flag on them.
Alarm bells rang and I hung around to see what developed, within 5 minutes there were civilians of all creeds, class, colour and age protesting against these anti-immigration loon-balls, to the point where Police were mobilised for their protection.
I love Glasgow. It has it's faults, but most of it's people are solid gold, and generally we stand up together against to people like this.
Glasgow was once one of the worlds busiest ports, our ships mobilised world trade, and brought impoverished hungry Irish and persecuted Jews to our city, enriching it's culture, fighting in our Army's, providing both brain and brawn to our industries. We have a history of acceptance, of refuge. And thats why we stand up to the BNP, when they attack the Eastern Europeans and Muslims who have made Glasgow their home in more recent years.
Now I see the second hand market is littered with D800s, but try and find a used 5D mk3. If the DR of the Sony chip is so obviously superior why is the market showing discarded D800s ?
have you checked that or pulled it out of your nose?
when i check ebay here i see 19 used D800 and 16 used 5D MK3.
not much of a difference.
Before jumping to conclusions, you might want to check a poster's location. There are actually no 5D MkIIIs available on eBay in the UK, compared to 7 D800s.
yeah well excatly... he jumps to a conclusion without giving any infos about how he came to the conclusion.
im glad you realized it after my posting...
i don´t dare to say a greater percentage of people return the D800.
because i have no hard facts on how many are sold and returned.
maybe the D800 outsells the 5D Mk3 by a factor of 3:1... who knows?
in the end... it´s 600 euro cheaper where i life.
so 19 vs. 16 looks pretty good from my numbers.
but it´s only my numbers as you noticed.

Soon there will be a few Jessops stores available in the UK for them to use...I was wondering if they might be interested, as Canon bailed out Jessops the last time they were close to administration and own a proportion of the shares I believe.
I have read the big stopper has a bit of a blue cast. Been thinking about giving singh-ray a try. http://www.singh-ray.com
They seem expensive but well regarded.
I'm only 23 and I wasn't around 20 years when people tell me Jessops for more for the professional photographer as well as enthusiasts. Currently it is easy to tell from looking in their shops their market is now the enthusiast. Their sales assistants are of a similar breed to those found in large technology stores such as PC World, Comet and now in administration Curries and Dixons.Just to clarify, Currys and Dixons are part of the same retail group as PC World, it was Comet that went into administration, then met its demise.
