What do you do when you need some new passport photos?

Me, I take them myself. Which one should I use?

World Conker Championships 2009.

Allan McDade — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:45:50 +0000

More than 300 competitors from 18 countries assembled at New Lodge Fields near Aston Northamptonshire for the 2009 World Conker Championships.

Thomas Gormley, from Orton Brimbles, Peterborough.

Thomas Gormley, from Orton Brimbles, Peterborough, dressed as Rab C Nesbitt was crowned king of the conkers after smashing his way to the title of World Conker Champion, the 53-year-old Scot claimed the secret of his success, after eight years of trying, was down to a change of technique. He also said he believed his costume may have helped.

“This is absolutely brilliant,” he said. “I come every year, I’ve come for the past eight years and always wanted to win it.”

“This year I tried a side-swipe for the first time,and it seems to have worked.

“Maybe that’s the secret. I think being dressed as Rab C Nesbitt helped. It gave me a bit more confidence and maybe gave me the edge.”

This year’s women’s champion was Sue Howes, 58, an accounts worker from Overstone Lodge, Northampton.

Richard Howard, chairman of Ashton Conker Club, said: “It’s been a brilliant day. It’s been a bit cloudy but generally speaking, apart form a few spots of rain, it’s been fine.

I sometimes wish my camera had Geotagging abilities. I can’t remember where I was when I took this one.

If anyone knows of a good iPhone app that I could use to tag photos in LR please leave a message in the comments.

Posted this one on Flickr but forgot to post it to here. So some of you may have seen this before.

After The Fire, Corby Manor House.

Allan — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 09:55:17 +0000

On Monday 2nd March 2009 Corby Manor House was destroyed by fire.

It’s not a pretty site! The place is completely gutted and will probably be pulled down.
I would have liked to have taken a photo from where I took this one, but access was somewhat restricted due to the new security measures in place.

The exposure was about 21 minutes in total made up from 42 30 second exposures. I then used some software from http://www.startrails.de/ to stack the images.
