Roughly how long do you need to completely wipe out boats like that?

Without the lens was about 15 secs. I think, but I guess it depends on the size of the hole.

With the lens was 1/15th sec.

Usually if it's 15 seconds, I just get moving objects showing up in a blur.

Nuts

^ahhh... Chestnuts! I love eating those, but yours look like they need a few more weeks? There are at least three large chestnut trees at my parents' house where I grew up in Pennsylvania.

They may not even ripen fully in Britain, what ones you do get are usually pretty small and don't compare with the imported ones.

We have two 'chestnuts' in Britain, this one, the Sweet or Spanish chestnut and the Horse chestnut(not edible but avidly collected by kids for playing 'conkers').

In Spain they are known as Castanets because of the shape. Or maybe castenets are named after the tree.

There are a lot of them in Britain, not really grown for the nuts, but the wood. They are easilly copiced and grown to about 3 inches thick before being cut. Traditionally this is used for Hop poles, or split into quarters and used for a particular type of fencing known as chestnut palings. or turned into charcoal.

I like to see the full grown tree though, they have a beautfully sculpted bark.

There are two in this picture [small middle, large right; the big middle (behind) is a black walnut tree] - it's not quality photography, as it was taken with a cheap point-and-shoot a couple years ago. Since it was taken in early July, instead of what you posted, you see the light colored "flowers" which turn brown and fall prior to making the nuts (around mid-late July). I can still remember forgetting to keep shoes on and accidentally stepping on those spiny things when they finally fell in late September/October.

I've really got to get a D80. These were done with a couple of Kodaks and it shows.

We went a little too far with the spam filter.
