i'm just back from 10 days up at harris .

although i went on my truck as i was doing a bit of work i took my gas gas enduro up on the back of it .

if your not to bothered about the weather it's a fantastic place to visit & the roads are great although your speed is limited on corners due to sheep everywhere .

the scenery is fantastic with the most amazing beaches .

i went to the only garage to get 8 links took off my chain so i could fit a 40 tooth sprocket to make my gas gas a bit faster with the sm wheels on only to get told by the mechanic " i don't like to work on bikes incase someone gets splattered " ! so that was that ... enduro wheels back on . that evening i bumped in to the mechanic & he asked if i get the bike fixed & i said no , his reply in his highland accent was " oh well it won't be so sore if you fall off then " true i suppose ! Very Happy

I wouldn't say you are hopeless at taking pictures.

1.Camera is not on full auto (good enough usually for decent snaps).
2. Your camera is shite.
3. Crap weather \ lighting.
4. Suspect 3 & 4 to be main culprits.

Could be condensation over the lens. If you've taken it out of your pocket and it was slightly cooler in the open air, it gets fogged. But this is summer so that seems less likely. Does *look* like that's what's happened though.

the phone is a htc1 , i'm a gardener & 2 years of using the phone with muddy hands its all scratched including the lens + it wasn't very sunny .

the weather changes very fast in harris , the only real bit of sun shine was at 7.30 one morning , by 8.30 it was pissing down .

one night i had to turn to the right to keep my bike in a straight line with the wind Very Happy

at one point while having a smoke in my 3.5 ton truck i could feel it shaking with the wind !
