Dougy Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Nice, you have to be quick on the shutter to catch them I thought about taking some last night but it was directly over us and I wasnt going out side in my jym-jams and heavy rain. Plus it was stupid oclock in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol p Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Very similar to one of my favourite vinyl album covers. Dire straits, love over gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyska Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Nice, you have to be quick on the shutter to catch them They're great pics, but not hard to take, it's dark so a longish shutter speed ever few seconds and you'll get one. I was calming children down, it was awesome. Can I pm you re the 30-06? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a303 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Few lads I work with only 5miles down the road have had their cars utterly destroyed by the hail. Luckily where I am we had nothing. Glad I drive a old ****box otherwise I'd have been rather upset. Will insurance cover the damage or is it 'act of God' get out clause?
