Chichester 3

The Cathedral pics are mostly test shots while I waited for the return of the peregrines - only had to wait a week or so as it turned out.
The others are random stuff seen in and around town: the Terminator 2-style burned out cars are the aftermath of a garage fire, and they'd been moved out of the way by the demolition crew.
Docklands 2

Going back to the docklands hosting facility to fix my broken server. To be honest I only know this because when I came to re-do this gallery for the new, new gallery code I could read it on the first image, a picture of the Icon Bar report into what took the server offline.
Dumfries

Wanting to try out my new camera properly, I volunteered to travel from the south coast of England up to Dumfries in Scotland - a round trip of around 16 hours - just to install one computer. So, the plan was two days of travelling, an hour or so of installing, and the best part of a day photographing. However, as the server ended up taking from 10am to about 4:30pm due to network problems, the following were taken during an extended lunch break while I was trying to figure out what the hell was going wrong...
As the new camera has not only a 10x optical zoom (the same as a good pair of binoculars, and better than my 8x25 binoculars I carry in my backpack) but also lots of new settings for taking landscapes, portraits, action shots, night shots etc., it might look like there are a number of near-duplicate pictures as I play around with the settings. There are also a lot of photographs of birds on a river...
Manchester Trips

Up on another install

When the Chinese State Circus came to little old Chichester.
Chichester

Just a few pics in and around Chichester. Plenty of the Cathedral including trying to find the best setting to capture the sunset.
Chinese New Year 2003 (Ram)

Our by-now annual appointment at Confucius's Chinese New Year celebrations
Docklands

In and around the hosting facility this server sits used to sit in.
Fishbourne 3

Having tried digiscoping in my previous trip to the inlet, I thought I'd give it another shot - not great, but interesting to play around with. I also took a few snaps of the flora of the area.
