Dave put two fingers on the screen and move them apart to zoom and vice versa, or maybe tother way around

Yeah I know that Steve, but it's a cack-handed way of doing it compared to a proper camera, and I keep setting off other bloody things on the phone that I didn't mean to. Hate touchscreens. One moment you're trying to take a picture, the next you've accidentally touched something and you're staring at a porn site or whatever. By the time you've pissed about pinching and squeezing (the screen...), the last Javan White Rhino has run off. Give me a good old SLR 35mm or a mouse and a keyboard and I'm much happier. Or pigeons, papyrus and smoke signals even better.

Seriously thinking of launching the 'smart' phone.

On the way to work this morning, the view over the Somer Valley........

Nice pic Bob, very atmospheric .I hope the sun is doing a good job of burning off that fog/mist in the wild west ? I've got another huge round-robin early tomoz, first stop Bridport .

Actually, looking at where the sun is ,...........looks like you get to work just in time for lunch then !

Good spot Nick, that photo was taken about 11.30 when I went to our alloy welders to collect some bits. This was taken at 07.30 on the way to work
Take it easy today mate, freezing fog everywhere. It's usually beautiful down Bridport way so I hope it clears for you

Lots of freezing fog around in Wales the past few days
Wye valley above Erwood looking North East of Painscastle looking West
I'd just come out of a patch that put ice on the inside of my visor (not had that happen since 1982!) then above the fog the temp 'soared' to 5C Clyro hill looking east
