New to WAB

Hi All
I'm new to this forum, only just find it on the web, i would be out most weekends taking photo's but sorry to say the weather in Coventry this weekend is cold wet and windy.
looling forward to joining in and learning a thing or two about Britain.
Once I have found my way around the forum I hope to post a few picture, any help telling me how to do this would be great.
If I do ask any questions that have already been on the forum I am sorry, but there is a lot to try and catch up on,
Well this is my first thread so I will keep it short
Thanks
Mick

Re: New to WAB

Hello Mick

A warm welcome to WAB.

I assume canonman is a Canon man .... I am in the other group .... a Nikon man.

However, we do have 3 things in common .... we are WAB members , we enjoy taking photos and we are having a cold, wet and windy weekend .

Richard

Re: New to WAB

Hi Mick and welcome.............Its been wet down here in the south too and I have been sleeping in some woods in a hammock under a tarp listening to the rain pitter patter on it, very pleasant.
To upload photo's, click on the gallery above and then the "add my own pictures button" and follow the simple instructions. Alan (another member) has been able to do it so it must be simple..................Jon

Re: New to WAB

A big warm WABbing welcome canonman, Weather was rubbish everywhere me thinks - I unwisely went to kew gardens today, got very wet but at least should have acheived some macro shots in the greenhouses. At least the weather meant it wasnt crowded !!!

Re: New to WAB

Hooray! Hooray! The sun is out at last.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be walking down a country lane, listening to the birds singing and the sweet smell of the hedge rows.
But alas I have to stay at work.
Why does the sun shine Monday to Friday and then get cloudy and wet on Saturday and Sundays
Mick

Still the ducks in the pond I can see out the office window are loving it
