I suppose I should write something here although I don't know why, nobody will read it. Tell you what, why don't you go look at my pictures instead. If you're feeling really kind you could always leave me a comment or two, who knows, I might even return the favour. Oh, and I'd prefer it if you gave the spangly gifs a miss. And I don't really do Post 1, Comment 100 groups either.

To the 400 600 or so very shy people who have added me as a contact without so much as a word: try leaving me some comments and I might add you too, I'm here for the social side of flickr and communication is a two way process. And if you were made a contact the likelihood of remaining so is minimal if you make no form of contact.

A small selection of my flickr pics are for sale on RedBubble but if you see anything you'd like a print of on here drop me a flickrmail and I'll put it on RB for you. They do everything from greetings cards to posters, canvas & framed prints.

Well, everyone seems to have an endless list of their gear on their profile page so I thought I'd share mine with you.

I started off my digital career with a Fuji Finepix F440, nice and compact but now being used as a paperweight as I've moved on (but still in full working order if anyone wants to make me an offer). gone to a good home. It even comes back to visit every once in a while.

Next was a Fuji S6500fd bridge camera, great but not as good as the real thing so along came a Canon EOS 400D. Got it as body only and bought a Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens. Nothing like jumping in at the wide end is there?

More lenses soon followed, a Sigma 17-70mm for general use, then a nifty fifty way back when you could get a lens for fifty quid. After a bit of serious saving up a Canon 100mm Macro lens appeared on the scene, then to complete the range a Sigma 70-300mm APO zoom which has now converted itself to manual focus only, useless pile of junk! Life moves too fast for manual focus so along came a Canon 70-300mm lens to bring far away things nearer. Much better image quality and Image Stabilisation too.

More recently I've added a new compact, a Canon IXUS 95 IS for when I can't be bothered carting the DSLR around.

Most of my photos are more or less as taken, maybe a quick tweak of the levels or some cropping but that's about it. Sometime I go a bit mad with either Photoshop Elements or The Gimp and have a faff about. Oh, and HDR is the work of the Devil.

    "Dave's Photo stream is a stunning record of the beautiful part of the world in which he lives and the wonderful places that he visits (including many pubs.) They each tell a story, pulling the viewer into the worlds within them.

    I can sit and look at your shots all day mate, they cheer me up at the same time as your witty comments make me giggle. You are a pleasure to 'know' and have a laugh with my friend. Long may you continue to brighten my days with your wonderful photographs and cracking personality. :-) xx"

    "dave's got a fantastic eye for photography. his landscapes are amazing and he can turn the most simplest "sight" into something amazing and abstract. his photographs will keep you entranced for ages and you find that you get lost in the shots, imagining that you're there and seeing the beauty for yourself.
    Dave's personality comes across with his witty and charming titles, his funny and banterous comments on your photostream and the group's that he's actively a part of.
    This is one man's photo's that i recommend you to see, you will not be disappointed.
    Yer fabby dave, keep up your good work. Jx"

    "Royston (Dave) has an uncanny knack for fabulously breathtaking scenery and particularly adept at landscapes. Watch out for his mischievious sense of humour though!! Also responsible for creating the celebrated "Taking A Fence Group"
