    Thames water, river killers.

    ...and they haven't sorted it out with the £billions they say they have spent since 1989 when they were privatised...It is the same now as it has always been, if not worse...What we are seeing on our riverbanks is completely the opposite to what Thames Water and the EA hype out about clean...

    Taking photo's with a flash

    To be safer...Slightly turn the angle of the fish your holding (and your body), so it is not directly straight in line with the flash, and it will deflect the flash off the side of the fish and not bounce straight back into the lens..and make sure the white belly is not tilted upwards. Anything...
