I would have.... but they don't meet the post-processing rules.

As I've been unable to exercise for a few weeks whilst my wound from minor surgery heals, I've put a few evenings after work into visiting local(ish) landmarks. A couple of locations here that I'm sure at least people on the right side of the Pennines will recognise.

Managed to get this one on BBC Look North yesterday evening as part of the weather forecast. Was quite pleased with that. Evening Sun by 77gazza, on Flickr

I was bought one as a present. It's quite well done, other than that I have a Nikon camera and it's a Canon mug....

I'm not sure it's a Banksy. War comes to Calderdale by 77gazza, on Flickr

Been a couple of nice morning in the Calder Valley over the weekend, and the bluebells are popping up all over the place. Blue Carpet by 77gazza, on Flickr Early morning light by 77gazza, on Flickr

Went to see if the bluebells were out yet this evening. Answer was no, but I wasn't going to return without anything at all. One day I will get to the mill when it's both quiet and lit by the sun! Gibson Mill by 77gazza, on Flickr

No need to tar us all with the same brush. There are certainly some Fev fans who could probably argue with themselves in an empty room, but I'd suggest there are plenty like that who post on here that support other teams too. Personally, I've never seen any issue with how the moderating appears to work on here. Other differ, that's their prerogative, but as has already been pointed out, you can always post your thoughts elsewhere.

I see it as a move to 3 divisions of 8, with another development division below that, that may eventually be regionalised. Hopefully all the clubs in the top 24 will become full time professional, however that is some way off, especially with the current or even proposed full time model. Whilst complicated, I do feel this structure prospectively replicates the relative balance of strength across the divisions, where the bottom clubs in SL are becoming comparatively weaker and the top few clubs in the Championship are pulling away from the rest. This will give the opportunity to aid the movement between the groups, provided the funding model is right. I also hope that fans of all clubs can now get being the idea and try to progress the game as a whole. Finally, the season ticket/membership argument around fans not knowing who they will be playing at the start of a season puzzles me. To me, I pay for a season ticket to watch my team a set number of times. Who the opposition is doesn't matter, as it's always the home team I'm most interested in.

I'll give it a whirl - I did try to do pdf file including screen prints to demonstrate, but the file is big to attach the on here! I use flickr as my host and a pc, but I can't imagine a mac will be that different. All you need to do is log into your account and select an image. At the bottom right then, you should see a selection of items. The third from the left of these is called "more ways to share". Select that, and you will have options to "share this via", "grab the link" and "grab the HTML/BBCode". You want the last of these. Once you've selected this drop down, you should see some code in a box, with the option to either have "embed", "HTML" or "BBCode", and again you want the last of these. Choose your desired image size (I use one of the medium ones generally), then copy the code that is in the box. Paste this code into your post on here in full, and it should be job done.

Thought I'd clear the cobwebs out this morning and go for a short constitutional before heading over for the Fev v Wakey game. The range of weather in the Calder Valley never ceases to amaze me. Old Town by 77gazza, on Flickr Old Town by 77gazza, on Flickr

First bit of sun I've seen in what feels like an age today, the joys of sitting in an office all day, with very little natural light. Grassington by 77gazza, on Flickr

Cheers. Have you managed to sort out your posting issues yet Chris?

We weren't there that long. I have been a couple of times before, but again, only for a quick stroll round the grounds, though previously with friends and their collective hoards of kids. Hopefully will get over again at some point for a better look round and explore a little further.

You did

Exactly. I agree about HDR generally, I tried a variety of different blends of this particular shot, some far more subtle but felt for me, this worked best. I like people to offer constructive criticism on my work, doesn't mean I have to agree with them, especially when its artistic interpretation that's being discussed. Keep commenting!

Fair enough, I quite like it. Personal choice and at least it was a deliberate effect rather than trying and failing to look perfectly natural!

I was that engrossed with the game this afternoon that I nearly missed the glorious sunset view out of my window. It was only my wife interrupting me that made me go and get my camera and miss the last 10 mins of the game live (watched back afterwards obviously!) Views from Home by 77gazza, on Flickr

Had a first try at HDR as a technique over the last couple of days, freezing myself taking loads of shots in the early morning sun yesterday then post processing yesterday evening and this evening. I'm trying to keep it subtle and realistic looking rather than an obvious HDR effect. Have I achieved that?
