I'm in with Blurry. Something is in at least. I'll be happy if it lands anywhere near my avg.

I think it'll end up 8 in total... have written 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 - just need to make a few final edits on 6 and 7, then move onto 4. The last one, 8, should be a summary chapter so nothing heavy and relatively easy. If things go okay I hope I can get this done in a month or so...

Both comments have been good. Going to be another interesting week I think.

Hey Nick, you seem to have a lot of interactions with the police. I thought this might be useful. //www.sirimo.co.uk/media/UKPhotographersRights.pdf

You seem to handle it right, cooperate and then they let you go about your business. But what else are you going to do, argue, and you'd just get arrested I'm sure.

Maybe you should print a t-shirt saying, "I'm not a terrorist, just a photographer."

Thanks Limbo - I have that PDF printed out and now in my camera bag, next to my stop and search docs ready for the next time it happens. I've not been out since that fiasco outside Big Ben last week though.

I have bought two high viz vests though (3 quid each at my local army surplus!) - am writing "NOT A TERRORIST" on the back in big black lettering to make a point on my next excursion (and 'GET OFF THE PHONE' on the other :))

The paperwork they left me with the last time they stopped me - although apparently they're phasing out the paperwork part so that there's no trail :(

What like a police report? Is it something to show next time to speed it up?

It's not really to speed anything up, just to make the point...that this has been done before and it's boring and futile...

So you can say, "Thanks, I'll put this one in the collection." :)

I love the "try to be considerate and courteous". They should be not try.

I bet if you collected enough of these you'd have a case for harassment.

Evening all :-) How are your scores holding up? I'm on 5.25 approx, still way less than where I want to be, but north of 5, and improving week by week :-)

Currently at 6.4830 and been bouncing about the 6.5, up a little, down a little.

Do we have enough to submit for this week?

I've got something for fences. Not great, but it's an entry.

pm'ed you all (except zodiac - wouldn't let me do it) asking for a quick opinion for fences. Neither great.

If you've got chance to have a look I'd appreciate it.
