A few nice shots already and good on you for going with the premier membership, every penny will help Chris and Sarah keep the site going. You will find a jolly crowd here as wide spread as Australia, America and South Africa, as well as one chap who crops up now and again from Lancashire. Feel free to join in some of the forums as new input is always welcome and generally enjoy the banter that goes on. Anything goes in the forums so get in there and lets get to know you |

You guys are as bad as the Lancashire Lad any day of the week! (referring to Mr Ron & Mr Dave of course!) I am off to check out your photos now, and hope you will enjoy joining us in the forums! |

By now you will probably be getting the idea the type of folk here, it takes all sorts as they say but one thing for sure is it is a friendly family POE. The site has bags of information tucked away here, loads of super photos and the forums for anything from the serious to jolly banter as Dave puts it, do join in when you can. |

Normally you get the digital equivalent of a grunt from one of the MODS. I've studied (lurked) the website for a while now and came to the conclusion it was worth buying into, £15 is a reasonable price. Once I've sorted myself out I'll start posting a lot of pictures. |

We try to be freindly and by and large have a good time when a few get togetjher in the forums.....join in a bit later this eveing see if it suits you. As to uploading photos, lets be having them. You will find, probably already noticed, that the site is more about general comments as opposed some other sites where members seem to thrive on scathing criticism and cases of 'I'll vote for you if you vote for me' We don't have any of that here just the general pleasure in viewing good photos, of which there are literally thousand, and increasing by the day If at anytime you do want any critique against any particular images i would suggest that you put this in with whatever narrative you put in. But in the meantime enjoy the site and join in if you can, you will be more than welcome and no doubt soon work a few of us out! !! ! ! |

Please write as good a description as you can on your photos, where, when, etc. It is really appreciated by those of us unlikely to ever visit the places and gives us a good sense of the locale! I am not sure that any of us have been able to "work a few of us out!" but I won't mention any names! |
