As for exploring abandoned places photos, you should check out a blog by someone called lana sator, I just read about it in a magazine, it was pretty interesting

Using manual settings will always give you a better picture no matter the camera. That is if you know how to use them correctly
Yeah that's with any camera. I never trust the camera LCD. I have noticed that on my Sony A300 the photos tend to be darker on the LCD then they really are. I mostly just use the LCD to check my settings. Now I rarely use it to look at my photos. I trust my eye and skills enough to know when I have taken a good photo or not.
I'd be interested in seeing the results.
This is what I did for the self-portrait project in my Digital photography class. My instructor really enjoyed it. She also made everybody in the class do a similar photo and everybody hated me for it
:good:
OK so I went on the Mini run today, it was a 198 mile run, in the back of a classic Mini, and I'm 5ft 7" 
no it was OK and despite a bit of rain it was a good day and lots of Minis. We went around Norfolk, starting and finishing at Cromer.
Here are the photos. Took these in SR Auto mode, yes I know it won't give me the best photos but I just wanted to get the photos taken. Changing the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 4:3 seems to have improved the image quality and general saturation of the colours so I am pleased about that, and now the file sizes are bigger.
I didn't take the Panasonic in the end, too much bulk, but the quality probably would have been sort of the same.
None of these have been edited to improve the quality of the photo, the only editing I have done is the removal of the registration numbers on the plates.
Water on the grille on my parent's Mini. It's actually rainwater because it was a bit rainy.
Close up of somebody else's alloy.
Two Minis.
Close up of a headlamp on a blue Mini cabriolet.
Tad blurry but taken out of the rear window, a Mini behind us on the A134 outside Harleston.
Panorama of the Minis lined up in the gardens of Sandringham house. My parent's Mini is the one dead in the centre.
There's my parent's Mini. It actually belongs to my Mum but they both drive it.
Close up of the Mini badge on the bonnet ("hood" for American English) of my parent's car.
Various Minis lined up (colour & B&W)
Mini ERA Turbo.
An alloy on my parent's car.
Sorry for the lack of colour photos - the weather was really grey and horrible so colour photos were probably a bit pointless. :/

And.... I'm gonna guess you're talking to myself and Vista. I've come across plenty of urban exploration blogs, and frequently visit UER.
My aunt makes cakes and she had to do a stump wedding cake for this weekend. She had me photograph it.
*Drooling
It's mostly fondant, so it's not really going to taste like anything
And the cake itself is only vanilla =/

Mine (or should I say my parent's? lol) is a 1996 Rover Mini Equinox - the Equinox was a limited edition, based on the Sprite I believe.Yeah I've seen several of the Mokes round and about here in Britain. Heard they were popular in Australia.Perkomate said:
Today I went to the Norwich Avation Museum, I will upload my photos later as I'm a bit busy at the moment.

a latie, nice. Is it injected? Would love to turbo one of them to get some serious numbers.
Yeah, the moke was really popular down here. Everyone either had one, or knows someone who had one.

1.3 SPi. I've seen an ERA Turbo (think I posted a photo of one here) and I'm sure they're fast, but the bodykit makes them look horrible. :/ Those ERA Turbos were very limited as well. If you want one the best place to find one believe it or not is going to be in Japan because that's where most of them ended up.Perkomate said:

I'd love to get one of the super late injected 1275s, then put a little turbo system on it. I've been reading around, and someone hit 250hp on one. Put that into just a bog standard old mini, and instant sleeper.
