I hope to go out and do a few artistic shots over the weekend...any suggestions?
Thanks
Quick tip: when shooting cars start by looking at reflections, consider where the light's coming from and going. Look for panning opportunities. Try different angles, vertical and diagonal formats. Break the rules, don't keep horizons horizontal all the time.
See - and I am a GOM. I even had to correct your "i" to an "I"

easy Zee..you'll live longer.
I don't wanna.. not in this world. Living longer is like opting for a longer working day AFAIC.
Moreover, it's far-too-laid-back people like yourself who just roll over and let the buttf
king commence. That program turned out to be a honey trap for men of my generation and older, only to be slapped by velcro chinned lesbians at the very last.
I'm cancelled the direct debit on my TV license tomorrow.

Carzee -
Are you in any way related to the boy Self?
The seething nature of pure loathing resonates most strikingly to this particularly iredeemable cynic.
Must say, although I generally burbled approval o'er a bottle of coldest gnat water, the feeble mindlessness of Peel's absurd 'oh no it's Maggie' routine at the time of her accession struck me as outright f@ckwittedness (for who could have delighted in the events of the past 2-3 years?)
Also grating was the Bollinger-spewing concept that even the most ardent lobotomised leftist sandal jockey could have harboured any form of rose-tinted mistyitus at the passing of Scarecrow Foot as some vaguely endearing, hapless fossil. Complete gash.
And the supposed supposition of Gildas the monk or some such mediaeval scribe was as 'Zee raileth, naught but the scurrilous suggestivity of the mumbling milkies.
Top award goes to Sessions; moments of genuine bile venting, thought you not?
How the hell anyone could have

'Grumpy Old Men' was a powerplay of documentary television, until right at the end of the last installment tonight, when all the speakers rolled over and allowed themselves to be buttf
I'm not entirely sure which bit you mean. Did you not take the last bit of them being grumpy about themselves as the joke it was intended as?
Only saw the last episode and quite enjoyed it. It was Matthew Parris who hit the nail on the head when he said the state of the world today is largley the fault of the current generation of Grumpy Old Men.
There are so many things wrong with the world that being a Grumpy Old Man is all too easy. Being a GOM will turn you into a negative, nihilistic, apathetic old bore, a sort of geriatric "Punk". The thing is, there always have been things wrong with the world and there always have been GOMs. The trick is to not let these things get to you, maintain a positive approach to life and not let all this bile and vitriol eat away at you from the inside.
I'm off now to find a tree to hug.

It's been the funniest thing on TV for the past few weeks but I agree that last nights was not so good.
Will Self and Arthur Smith are always great value and I also enjoyed that bloke from the Vice who's name I forget.
I obviously am a grumpy old man. My kids piss me off, all politicians piss me off, service is crap everywhere I go, I can't drive my car fast because of yoghurt knitters, I pay all sorts of tax but my streets never get cleaned and I'm generally a miserable bastard about almost everything and with bloody good reason in my opinion.
I was going to say that carzee is too young to be a miserable old git but the sad thing is that I reckon I've been one since I was about 25.

Will Self provides us mana from heaven. He's pure wit.
I could bathe at length in the bile he spews. Then when I'd quite finished with it, and farted in it good & proper, I'd bottle it and sell it to the BodyShop as eco-shampoo, with nutri-shitamide-RS.
Separated at birth, then!
Oh, God - the more I agree, the more I confirm my GOM-ness..............

GOM? I think if you not a GOM you are merely lying to yourself and denying your true inner feelings of hatred towards everything.
Becoming a tree hugging hippy will simply mean your life will dissolve into a fetid bowl of lentils and you will die trying lying to yourself and those round you how much you love everything...
Stick to hating everything... Far far safer and more satisfying for the soul
