Hi All..

Hello to you all, I'm Toby (jug to my friends..lol). I am so glad to have found this site, I'm enjoying all the pics so much.  You really are such a talented lot.. I just hope that I can eventually achieve such excellent results. As a newby to photography, I'm slowly getting the hang of it. I recently bought a 'point & shoot camera' with 'intelligent auto' setting that promised such great results,  hmmm... I think an idiot setting would have been better.. lol.  Oh well, if all else fails, read the manual. Should only take around three weeks.. lol.

Welcome to POE (Pictures of England) Toby.

We look forward to your visits to the forum, and to seeing your pictures.

Where in England are you (general area is fine)? 

HI Toby, thanks for your comments and yes I took a nice looking house in the heart of the country and I had a woman shouting at me but actually I am not sure of the law.

Another time we were in the heart of the country and stopped to take a picture of a water tower, when we were questioned by police who wanted to know what we were up to, I asked him what he thought we could be up to with nothing else around, he said there were a lot of masts on the water tower, but I guess we looked harmless and he  said ok and drove off.

Hello, Toby.  Nice to meet you.  Best of luck with your photography.  Living in London, you most definitely have no shortage of amazing subjects.  Yes, this is a brilliant site, with brilliant photos of a most brilliant corner of the planet, the British Isles.  Nice bunch of people here to, as you've already seen.  Looking forward to more of your photos. Enjoy yourself here.
