Thanks again to the nice guy in the 90 pickup who told my about my tail lights :-[

After seeing Gary's super photos I'll need to buy a better camera or take photo lessons!

Glad you all had a good day out.
Geoff :)

The road back down was very icy. Was it this year too?

Post by: gary1968 on February 21, 2011, 06:30:37 PM: Yeah Geoff, that was the squad crossing over the damn..
There were alot more photos but as most were taken from a moving vehicle the suffed motion blur. (I did ask Mr B to drive a bit more smoothly but he didn't, lol) I'm affraid Canon's Image Stabilization system cant deal with a Defender doing its thing on mountain tracks..... ;D
Anyway, a great day out and looking forward to the next one, wherever that may be.

Post by: Navigator on February 21, 2011, 07:15:06 PM: The Canon stabilisation seemed to work fine for me - I just don't seem to have taken any pictures of interesting bits though.

Did anyone take a picture when I was parked up avoiding the last of the struggles to get turned? Sandy stopped and said it would make a nice picture.

It usually does fine for me too Navigator, it could be though that your Discovery is a bit more softly sprung than the Defender...... Either that you are a better Photographer than me..... ( I am just learning, lol)

Post by: Navigator on February 21, 2011, 08:56:05 PM: I doubt if I'm much of a photographer - I don't know what to do with it if it is not set to "A"! Just hold it out the window and press the button.
