OK, not photography, but.

I remember reading about this chap many years ago when he was still young. He's autisitc but in that savant (though far from an idiot) way he can draw the most stunningly detailed pictures from memory. Amazing work

His talent is incredible. I remember a documentary on TV about 20 years ago about a group of talented autistic children of which he was one. He must have been about 10 years old and drew a detailed picture of St Pancras Station from memory. There was also a kid who could play entire concerto's after hearing them once and another who could tell you what the day was the instant you threw out a random date in the future or past.

one for brendan

can you see that? It's the 'penrith' tea room. It's actually in Stony Stratford outside Milton Keynes and is a chemist now.

I went in and bought some aspirin and muttered 'and the finest wines available to humanity' under my breath. I'm sure it happens all the time :)

[Brendan]

Lol!

The staff in there must love it.

?Yeah yeah we know finest wines available to humanity are on the second shelf and you?re a millionaire. Now are you going to pay for that aspirin or nt??

Carpe diem.

I don't normally do animal shots, but this from fatmandy is just so menacing!

 

[mockney piers]

As it's summer (or at least it was)

 

[lozzyloz]

Is this really the future?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

No, I think you'll find this is still the benchmark to aim for:

Good times!

If you want to create an "antique" effect for some reason [social networking site etc] and the deck you are using doesn't have Photoshop [or similar[ installed, this site may be useful:

Just right click and open your converted image into a new tab to save. Note there is an English option in the right hand corner.

By the way, does anybody else on the forum shoot with a 40D? If so, could you offer any tips regarding the custom user settings? Cheers!
