]]> Fri Oct 2 2009 At last, some new phots! http://benwheeler.fotopic.net/c1755447.html Yes yes, finally got round to uploading some new phots. Reason for lack of phots during August was simple.....I didn't get anything in August what so ever. So here's my efforts for September so far. Note that I will once again be "refreshing" the site at the end of the year, this will be because I should have a "new toy" to play with by then and I'm hoping to renew this gallery to reflect that. It's also been pointed out that my processing is still a bit dodgey on occasions, so I'd like to re-process most of the images from the past year anyway.
