Don't know, I didn't see any tomato sauce stains anywhere on the forum index. I'll have to look.

I like the first one too..

Didn't know what to expect, but the perspective of all of them is great.

..

On an unrelated note, I bought a copy of Amateur Photographer the other week at Tesco .. (not local one) and went to have a peek at their forum... and lo and behold I recognised someone's breakfast...!!!!

or should that be remains of breakfast.... posted on this forum too.

I wondered why it was half the price of a normal photo mag... and then discovered it was weekly. Unforuntately not available locally for me.

Yea thats me on that forum too, under numanoid. My first forum too, joined back in 2002!
I dont visit too often tho, I find their image posting restrictions too rigid!
The mag isnt bad but i dont get it anymore, I prefer Outdoor Photography. If you can find that one get it, it is sooo good!
