I liked the challenge of World photo day - I just wish it were not in the middle of the summer. It was 2012 that we did the music thing? good grief, where has the time gone? Spare me the evaluative adjectives (humorous, cute) as subject matter please. But subjects like "wind" that have

Re: October PUGgery now up!!

Rather tough subject matter (for lack of a better word) this time... Thanks to Brian and all the participants. My two favourites are : The Sand Sower by Darren Addy Eagle Harbor Lighthouse by Ken Waller Darren's has a threatening look... Strangely, Ken's image look inviting to me! Bulent

PUG Themes for 2016

G'day all Some suggested themes for 2016: * World Photo Day - this one was popular this year - worth doing again? * Songlines - Pick a Song or Piece of Music and make a photo to suit. We did this in 2012 - worth doing again? See here: http://pug.komkon.org/12jun/index.html * Golden Hour * This

Thanks to all for who mentioned "The Sand Sower". Another enjoyable gallery and thanks to Brian for his work in assembling. My favorite of the bunch this month was Pat's "Sailing off Arran". A beautiful image of a beautiful scene. I liked Brian's "White-Bellied Sea Eagle" a lot. Only wish it had

Ann, Ghm... you prefer "nonhumourous" and "uncute"? ;-) It's interesting that I had exactly the same reaction about the song one.. Brian, I appreciated the sequence (proximity) of some of the proposed themes, so I thought of a combined one: "tranquility at rush hour". And in a similar manner,

Fastpack 250 AW II review

First of all, major, major kudos to Lowepro for replacing my beat up fastpack 350, which itself was a free replacement for my previous one. If, after seeing the pictures they had said, "Nope, it's just plain worn out, you can't blame that on us", I would have had no arguments. They no longer

Gosh I thought the group did a great job with a tough concept. Two windmills were obvious but well done with my nod going to Dan for making a rather ugly subject into a rather beautiful one. Pat T had a subtle sail boat & Ken dramatic windy sea. Theme wise Darren's storm might be the best. But
