When the snow has goneThe River Ouse has been struggling with the melted snow and rain that's followed it, this was the stunning sight that met us on our wander into town yesterday.
The river is normally about 30ft wide, and starts at the priory building opposite
The boats are at the widest point - should be about 40ft there
This isn't the river!
The river is on the far side of the steps and trees!
I love living here

This is an awesome shot from a technical standpoint. Very nice.
What did you use to get the pictures?

Ah, St Neots... My niece Natalie lives in one of those flats in the shot above (looks like the ones she lives in anyway...) I expect they had their wellies on as they sand-bagged the entrance doorway.....

A camera 
That piccie was taken by my wife but they are a mix of our shots.
It's a Canon EOS 400D with the standard Canon 18-55mm lens; the longer shots are taken using a Tamron lens which is (from memory) 70-200mm. We'd like a lens that doesn't need changing that goes from lower than 18mm and up to about 300mm but I'm not prepared to sell my car to buy it! However, due to the DT's in my hands I can't go more than about 160mm without loosing the shot - the one with the bench and bin with flats behind is a typical example. Should get the stand out more often!
Which flats Big TC - the ones with the 'conservatories' in my slightly blurry shot?

Try Sigma's 18-200mm OS; around £320, only major issue being it's a bit slow at the long end (f/6.3)

The ones on the left of the pic that Matt repeated. Looks like them, anyway.
My sister-in-law used to work in The Bridge...
