Photoshop produces some unusual results when you least expect them. I quite like this serendipitous image.

Clean sweep

[David Lewis]

Okay thats all folks.

Thank you all.

Give me 10 mins and I will announce the winner.

Dave.

[David Lewis]

And the winner is - Paul Harper.

The first image four candles was great but the mugs 'trouping the colour' was the best composition in my mind.

Well done Paul.
But thank you all for your very good pictures.
Dave.

[Pammy Sheldon]

[21:27:58 01/02/12] Eric M Palmer : Yes realised mistake swapped PC as mine desided to go on a go slow
[21:28:11 01/02/12] @ Chris Noble : Andy, Tell George you're not happy
[21:29:23 01/02/12] Andy Polakowski : The sad thing is I didn't even think of "Four Candles" (like everyone else seems to have done)
[21:30:00 01/02/12] Andy Polakowski : Pam, you're right, some excellent images tonight
[21:30:27 01/02/12] @ Chris Noble : I think David R has given up as he is not logged in so close when you are ready David
[21:30:55 01/02/12] Andy Polakowski : Paul always produces some very stylish ones
[21:31:29 01/02/12] Paul Harper : An excellent challenge tonight David. Had great fun!
[21:31:43 01/02/12] Pammy Sheldon : I had software issues and ended up trying to get answers to that instead grrr
[21:32:54 01/02/12] Pammy Sheldon : oh David L has gone off to think let the drum roll begin
[21:33:04 01/02/12] @ Chris Noble : Great shots again everyone
[21:33:14 01/02/12] Andy Polakowski : I'm whacked - I've spent much of the day trying to send an AV to the Netherlands
[21:33:22 01/02/12] @ Chris Noble : Good subject David - very well done
[21:33:50 01/02/12] Andy Polakowski : Eventually I used what they recommended (!) called www.wetransfer.com
[21:34:01 01/02/12] David Lewis : Okay thats all folks
[21:34:31 01/02/12] Pammy Sheldon : its chilly out
[21:34:42 01/02/12] Andy Polakowski : It's free and it handles really big files: I was sending 60MB but it will take 2 Gig
[21:35:20 01/02/12] Andy Polakowski : Used it to sens AVs to Marion Waine also - highly recommended by me now
[21:35:41 01/02/12] @ Chris Noble : I usually go for Yousendit.com for big files
[21:36:11 01/02/12] @ Chris Noble : I'll add it to the weblinks on the forum
[21:37:05 01/02/12] Andy Polakowski : That's what Marion recommends but it chooses it's own defalt location at the other end. Wetransfer is more controllable. She's had a few from wetransfer and I think she prefers it now.
[21:37:26 01/02/12] Chris Davies : Andy Polakowski : It's free and it handles really big files: did you realise you punned handles?
[21:37:56 01/02/12] Andy Polakowski : My spellings gone off - I thjink I've got a Dutch kjeyboar5d noww.
[21:38:36 01/02/12] @ Chris Noble : added the link Andy
[21:38:38 01/02/12] Andy Polakowski : Well spotted Chris (as if I would do such a thing)
[21:39:07 01/02/12] Chris Davies : can pun be a verb?
[21:39:35 01/02/12] Pammy Sheldon : I was going to ask if anyone has bought CS5 using a student discount???
[21:40:29 01/02/12] @ Chris Noble : According to OED Pun is the noun and to Punn is the verb version
[21:41:46 01/02/12] David Lewis : And the winner is -
[21:42:27 01/02/12] Pammy Sheldon : drum roll..............
[21:42:41 01/02/12] Chris Davies : heartbeat....

[Ken Sweetman]

I did try to join in but my broadband connection kept dropping out; Bt have been working on the lines earlier today.

Well done Paul (again!) and thanks to David

[David Lewis]

Yes it went well in the end.

I enjoyed the anticipation as the images came on line. I set out to say four candles or fork handles and some people remembered the Two Ronnies sketch of course and so it turned out well in the end.

I look forward to the next one.
Thank you all.

Dave
