Did you take the picture portrait or landscape style?

cameras include meta data with each pic, they don't always include orientation, in which case the browser guesses and its usually wrong.

I'll look into it at some point. baby steps ;)
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

I am disappointed that Sunburst has not burst onto Sunburster's list, it's a bust.

This but it'd be hard to replicate.

Here's one I prepared earlier (aerosol Surf Green).

Image

This stuff:

Image

My red Strat. Goes well with a brown fretboard and mint guard though it's my least favourite Strat colour.

Image

Image

Image

None More Black (a phrase I'm saving for the name of my spoof big-hair / metal band)
