[stevewool]

what do you do when you know the gifts your love one would like you just cannot afford just yet, do you go shopping together and show them the gifts that you was thinking and that you could afford, or do you go and get them what you want too, yesterday myself and Em had a good day shopping for presents and we did most of it plus getting some bargins too,the mountain warehouse what a shop, i have never been in there before a couple of weeks ago and if you go to the bargain rack well what bargains, good quality teeshirts, reduced from 19.99 to 3.99, so they have gone to the phils and 1 for myself, then there is a shop named RED5, its a gadget shop, 4 gifts from there for different people,and back to my Em well no ipad mini, but other things she wanted and i think she is pleased, what will Em buy me, i have no idea , plus i cant think of anything i want too

Did you go to Meadowhall Steve?

no Michael, just derby itself, there was a reason i wanted to go into derby, my new lens:icon_lol:, but as they say kill two birds with 1 stone sort of thing,Meadowhall is to big and the crowds,:NoNo:

[Michael Parnham]

Yes it's very busy now, is the new lens a christmas pressie for Em, ha ha!

[stevewool]

the lens, well the story goes, when we got married we had people give us some money so we decided lets get a good camera and how great friend who took our wedding pictures helped us chose a very good one,its a nikon d5000, we both enjoy taking pictures and we have built up a nice collection of good stuff, tripods, bags, flash , and now another lens for portraits and landscapes,so really its for both of us

[Michael Parnham]

I now understand the story of your lens, very nice if you enjoy taking pictures. I also went through a phase of taking pictures and then I moved on to buying a professional movie camera, and all various attachments, I spent a lot of time at styal village filming all the big jets at Manchester airport. I really enjoyed it until my ex and I split up two years ago then I gave it all away, thousands of pounds worth, but thats another story Steve!

thats the problem Michael before you know it you have thousands of pounds worth of equipment, its funny when you are taking pictures you do tend to look at other peoples cameras, when you point out the cost of what is around there necks or on tables just lying there its frightning

Too true Steve, when my Maritess starts work we should be able to start saving so that our lifestyle should get back to normal and we can get back some of the luxuries that I had before.

they look amazing the one on tv, but i am old school, a phone is a phone a camera is a camera and so on, may be its to much tec for me

[Michael Parnham]

Thanks for that Steve, I know your right!

You can't make a phone call with it Steve. It's a camera with a sim in it. Great for Facebook addicts. I think they are a bit pricey just now, mind.

Me and the wife have many cameras between us, and use them under different circumstances. She has started to use the zoom lens that I bought her a lot now. Takes a lot of the baby, using the zoom - dont know if that is right though.

[stevewool]

i know you cant make a call from it, maybe its a great item for the person who wants it, looks very impressive but its not for me, any picture you take with what ever lens and you are happy with it then thats the best picture, for close up pictures get a lens like i have just got you will be amazed,

[lastlid]

...... for close up pictures get a lens like i have just got you will be amazed,

I don't know much about photography. But she seems to get some good portrait photos from her new zoom lense.

if you are happy with the picture, dont change nothing, there is a picture we have, taken 3 years ago in borocay, a simple point and shoot, its a little blurred but we have blown it up to about 2 foot square and we love it, so you see you dont have to have the perfect picture as long as its perfect for you

Christmas is always a big celebration in Manila and holidays always mean bumper to bumper traffic and jam-packed shopping malls. Shopping for my loved ones and friends have started to become taxing and a hassle because of the long lines in the mall. For the past 2 years, I've been doing my Christmas shopping online via Shopbop or Amazon and packages usually take forever to arrive, not even to my doorstep but at the post office where I pay an extra fee for customs.

Just this year, I discovered a local online shopping website that has everything from shoes, home and living, pets accessories, kids stuff and even gadgets at affordable prices! I started my shopping quite late this year and surprisingly, I received my packages in less than 3 days! All in perfect condition! You guys should try online shopping if you're the type who can't stand long lines and traffic jams.

I have shopped online for about the last 10 years. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
