As often as I can - which is never often enough for me! What is your favourite thing to photograph i.e. landscapes, flowers, buildings, etc. |

I use a lot of them for reference material to paint. What is the photo you are most proud of?

I was so taken back at how great it came out. I never imagined I could take such a beautiful picture. Of course a lot of the credit goes to the camera I was using. I could not begin to tell you what kind of camera it was because I borrowed it from another photographer on the site.  Have you ever won an award for your photos? |

Not like our Shaun (wonder where he has got to lately?) Would you enter any of your photos in a competition? (Now there is an idea, perhaps we should suggest that POE has a monthly photo competiton and let all the members vote?) |

I wouldn't think my photos were good enough as my camera is only quite basic, (although I love it). A monthly competition sounds good in theory, but I should think it would be rather complicated to put into practice. ? How do you like to spend your leisure time (apart from POE!) lol

What is your favourite magazine?

I should love to see them and I guess they're really good! I rarely buy magazines .. much too expensive, and I'm not really interested in the content of most of them. Do you enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles? I hate them! |
| cathyml Posts: 23275 Joined: 25th Jan 2010 Location: South Africa | Posted at 17:45 on 27th May 2011 I think I have taken some good pictures over a number of years but I now have a problem - I need glasses to see the pic in the camera but not for looking at the view so I usually set things up all wrong, lol. I have some difficult puzzles and round puzzles and once in a blue moon I will do one. Do you do crossword puzzles or Suduko? |
| Marjorie Pope Posts: 6710 Joined: 13th Apr 2010 Location: UK | Posted at 20:52 on 27th May 2011 I do Sudoku, but I prefer to play Scrabble on my laptop. Do you like spending time alone? |
