CHAT "Characteristics" Weekly Comp 30th Sept - October 2013

[michaelb104]

Not been entering for a while but trying to get back in the swing, here is a shot taken on my mobile phone.




The reason for the mobile phone shot is that my proper camera is in dock, I went out last Sunday to get a shot for the weekly comp (down my way), I put the camera on the tripod and suddenly the tripod became a monopod and over went the tripod and camera.  This resulted in the viewfinder and flip out screen not working (damn electrical viewfinders), so yesterday took the camera off to Harrison's in Sheffield for them to send it away to be fixed, it sounds like it will be two to three weeks before I get it back.  I think this has made me realise that I should have at least a point and shoot back up and not just the phone....................

Anyhoo these things happen and it was my own fault for not checking the tripod was stable

That`s a shame Michael - hope your camera recovers well and not too expensively. Great camera phone shot though that shames my phone efforts.
My D700 rubbers are coming off apace now - got one set of replacements to put on and another to order - bloody eco glue!!!!

Sorry to hear about the camera Michael - hope it's back quickly.

As it was "characteristics" this is my mates Rottweiler called Mouse, now you know what a Rottweiler looks like just before it lunges at you.

Mike, sorry about your camera. Hope it won't be too expensive.

Jeff, I know a Rottweiler who is ever so sweet.

Decided to enter a dead flower head, a complete cliche, which I hope fits the bill, since there is always some puzzlement how to follow the brief!

So the Mackems are the same as Yorkshire folk then  . Mind you I knew Mackems were tight- they cannot share points with anyone in the Premier league just now 

They can't even keep any for themselves....

I found a few minutes to get an entry done. I was going to go for Mansard roofs, but didn't get a decent go at that what with it being a bit dull on the day that I went past them. Spotted this epigram on the back doors of a 2CV van at the car club meeting: 'Ceci n'est pas une voiture*, c'est un art de vivre'. I thought that was characteristically French given the obsession with the venerable 2CV.

Mine was called Characteristics Of Autumn, but was beaten to the name, so I'm 'Seasonally Characteristic'
