Quote from: anglefire on June 01, 2026, 03:46:22 PMA bit of an update - loving retirement, loving the cycling (I've done almost 2000miles this year so far) and I've lost a load of weight since I retired. My heaviest I was 16stone (Some time ago and did get down to about 15stone but it just stuck there!) and now I'm down to 12stone. Hopefully will stabilise at that as I do look a little skinny in places now!



I did a charity thing last month for Brain Tumour research - I know of two people that died this year with secondary tumours (One was a result of skin cancer, so be careful out there!) and the other from one of several sources. Also my cousin has a primary brain tumour which he has had chopped out, radiotherapy on and now going through chemotherapy.

The challenge was to do 200k in the Month of May anyway you liked - walk, swim, cycle, run etc. So I completed it on the bike, but had my own challenge of 400miles in the month - mostly because I do 200k a week usually. As it happens I did 547miles or about 880km in May. Longest ride being just over 100k on one of the hottest days of the year - though I left home at 5:15 and was back home at 9:45 :)

I would happily take part in the competitions again, I really do miss them. But as anglefire says FB and social media seems to have taken over.

General Discussion / Weekly Competitions
Last post by kerbside - March 16, 2026, 04:55:14 PM
Hi, Not been here for quite a few years, however i still see some of the old names that were around when i first joined in 2011 believe it or not.

Lot of water under the bridge since then but looking to dust off the camera and start shooting again.

Question is are the weekly competitions still going strong or is it just 3 or 4 people every month? as i remember the interest started to drop off when i left.

Going to keep an eye on the site for a few weeks and familiarise myself with it again.

Best wishes. Jeff

I have since bought the flash gun - party to take some pictures of a friends grandkids and partly because I wanted one! No pictures as they are of the kids etc, but it did perform exceptionally well - the recycle time is crazy!

And I got £24 cash back as I had "hired" it!

Well the camera and flash go back tomorrow. Its been lovely having the kit for so long - can really give it a try - not everything that I would want to do with it, but not bad - had some nice sunny days this year ( :2funny: ), though the cold has curtailed my cycling efforts so far :(

Got a few nice shots though:

I've taken advantage of this again over Christmas - I've hired a Canon R1 and a EL-5 flash. It should have arrived on 19th December, but arrived on 16th - and goes back on 5th January.

The flash gun is insane - the recycle time is incredible as is battery life - and the camera. Well, I really hoped it wouldn't be much of an upgrade to the R3. And in many ways its not.

But it is in the important areas - the AF is just awesome - and now has pre-capture which although the pictures I have got with it have not been perfect (ISO51200 tends to be a bit noisy), but shows what it can do with some decent light.



I've also got a nice shot of the moon the other night too.

I always like images where the photographer has the courage to print a good Black. The bottom second one reminds me of Edward Weston's peppers.

Merry Christmas from me as well.

Turkey dinner consumed, turkey sandwiches await later.
