[Dan Cattermole]

Not my speakers, the in laws.... B & O they are! Is..... Erm,,, is that what your talking about Hamish??

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Actually, I've just seen the picture I'd like to enter on my camera thats positively and finally the one I'd like to put on this thread despite me saying I wasn't fussed about the others.... So I will change it and not change my mind again...promise!
Just have to wait till tomorrow....... Lol

 

[Chris Dodkin]

And in a quiet moment when no-one was looking, two little guys discovered the tin train full of Dolly Mixtures!

The magic of Xmas indeed!!

Bet they've been playing old Slade Christmas records on your Naim system whilst you've been out Pete - Ted and Dog are known for their crazy 'owner's away' parties

Lovely shot - and great timing capturing them in action

 

[Dan Cattermole]

And your rega speakers?

You have lost me on that one dude....... :/ lol

 

[Pete Askew]

Hidden camera and infrared trigger Chris. Been watching a few David Attenborough documentaries!! Had suspicions they'd up to something once we gone out

No Naim stuff in the system: Lector (CD and DAC), Onix (pre-amp), Meridian (power amps) and Rega Ela speakers plus Townshend Super-tweeters.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Naim, who said naim?

I looked into getting some supertweeters before i got my adams ...
not much point now they are active with built in sorta-ribbons that go up to 30(odd) khz ...
how do you find them? do they do what people say to the bass ens as well as the high end ...
I think we need a hifi photo thread dont we

OK here's my entry from Christmas Day.

It's another dance moment, featuring my elder daughter and her grandma.

I've applied Hamish's B&W soft vignette preset to this one and tweaked one or two parameters on the vignette.

 

[Hamish Gill]

hehe, thats a funny photo...
I just got hannah a wii for xmas... did i already say that?
I wish id have someone here to photograph me and hannah playing some rowing game the other day ... it would have been very amusing!

 

[Pete Askew]

What an excellent shot Tim. Beautifully timed. I wonder what people will make of these in 50 years time!!

Th supertweeters do indeed do just what I' read. Mostly bass and mid but with some extension in the high end too. Very interesting. A friend borrowed them for a month while I was in Germany and only lasted d few weeks without having to go out and buy his own.

Sorry Pete, couldn't tell with all that bokeh!

Didn't mean to drop the N word without provocation

Nice job on the wildlife work, will be looking forward to Dog & Ted's big adventure on the BBC.

Thanks Pete.

In 50 years time the fashions, habits and technology will all seem very dated no doubt!

A couple of images from Christmas Day. Took these as part of a test roll with my Cheap As Chips Camera, which is a Konica Autoreflex TC with a 50mm Hexanon f1.7 lens. The film was "Memories" brand 200 ASA, which is actually re-branded Fuji film. I find that the Hexanon 50 produces quite soft images--either that or I am unable to focus. Both shots were taken hand-held. Mr. Jelly Belly was at a 15th, so I was quite happy with the image.

Mr. Jelly Belly Swings Into Christmas

Sadie and her new toy (We completely misjudged her this year; learned later she had been hoping for a subscription to Lapham's Quarterly.)

 

[Hamish Gill]

Lovely warm christmassy stuff matey

so how did the rest of the film come out?

 

[Brodie Jackson]

Thinking this one will be mine..
What sums up Chrissy to me is spending the day out by the pool with family, drinking, eating, swimming and laughing
This is my old man haha

Classic Brodie - you can just taste the enjoyment

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Brian - that Mr Jelly shot cracks me up - love it!

Don't upwardly mobile pets have Kindles these days?

 

[Brian Moore]

so how did the rest of the film come out?

Quite happy with the rest of it, Hamish. Indeed, very hapy with the camera at the price I paid.

Mr. Jelly Belly looks quite 'appy don't 'e? Thanks Chris.

As to the Kindles, etc., Sadie has in her a touch of the Luddite (a little like her old man that way, I'm afraid); prefers ink on paper to 1s and 0s.

 

[Tim Pindar]

Nice shot, Brodie!

 

[Brodie Jackson]

Cheers folks
Everyone's shots are great jolly jolly christmas!
