Very nice - like number 1 a lot. I hope the chimney in 5 isn't really at that angle!

Having been up since 3.30 to watch the GP (BTW - It's well worth a watch when it's repeated) I also went out for a drive. I did 120 miles and didn't see another car smile

I took some snaps but my server is down - will post 'em when it's up and running

Cheers, i think its the way i'm lyin, about 2 inches off the ground - the chimney is fairly wonky!

I'm lookin forward to the GP, by the sounds of it the Ferrari's were the quicker car, just balls'd it up!

I can just imagine how nice your photos will look at that time in the morning!

As I'm sure you know, lenses (esp wide angle) HATE vertical lines at the side of the frame... so without an 'architectural lens' (expensive) you're stuffed... as was John

Still PS can always come to the rescue.

I'm determined to capture it correctly, so heading back tomorrow. Cheers for the advice steve, explains why it has the shape. smile

Cheers Neil, as long as we can take your car!

I like the "ban buckfast" one for its simplicity. Not that there's anything shabby about the others...
