STORM GETS A BATH

Photo by Barbie
Storm one of our four cats, has not been in the best of health in recent years and lately he has neglected washing himself, so I thought it was about time he had a bath. He wasn't to keen on it at first but gave in struggling after a while, here he is getting dry in front of the electric fan heater.

BARBIE'S CHRISTMAS PRESENT

WENT TO THE DOGS

I was convinced I had picked the winner

My dog came in last..!

Doh..!

Barbie Myself and our friend Pete went to the Romford Dog track on Saturday evening, it was raining most of the time, but had a good time. As regards photography we figured out that you could get close to the racing dogs but we need to go to one of the daytime meetings to get better light.

Over the weekend Barbie and Myself were doing lectures for the RPS North West Region at the Glenridding Hotel at Ullswater in the Lake District, seemed to go down very well. Had a long drive up there on the Friday night, took 9 hours due to hold ups on the M6, got home a lot quicker on the Sunday only 5 hours.

"BEYOND GROUP" IN THE FINAL

"Oedipus" by Rusty awarded maximum points (15) by the 3 judges.
The photo group that I am a member of, the "Beyond Group" was representing the EAF in the PAGB Print Championships at Conahs Quays on Saturday, this was the 4th year running that the group has done this, and again for the 4th year running the group got into the finals. In the end finishing in 6th place out of 34 clubs from all over Great Britain, putting the "Beyond Group" in the top 8 clubs in Great Britain for 4 years running, not a bad record, congratulations to all the members.

IMAGES USED WITHOUT PERMISSION

"Bondage Bunny" by Rusty Lindsay

I have noticed several of my images are being used on the internet without my permission, I suppose this is one of the hazards of putting your images on them web, I don't mind people using my images for non-commercial purposes as long as they accredit the photo to me. Normally this happens, but what does annoy me however is when my images are used commercially without my permission or given any recognition at all. I don't really want to put copyright all over my pictures or stop people downloading them. The photo above "BONDAGE BUNNY" is one of my most used images with and without permission.
