About This is probably going to be my last upload for a while. A lot of my friends have gone and I need some time to think about how I respond to what's been happening.

My best regards to all,

Many thanks for your kind comments, Brian!!
It was interesting to read that you did a theology degree. Did you do anything with it? Ministry? Teaching?
I hope you had a great Christmas.
Wishing you all the best for 2006
Best regards, Chris

I hope you have a good "season of refreshing" away from Usefilm, and I sincerely trust that after thinking and praying it all through you will decide to continue posting here on a regular and frequent basis. For all the less than blindly enthusiastic comments I sometimes post I truly love your photos and they are a much prized link to what was once "my" part of England!

If you look at all these comments here you'll understand that leaving will be like betraying the admiration and friendship of so many people.A good pastor doesn't desert his flock!Or so it is said.

Beautiful shot Chris!! I like the composition and the dramatic clouds. A very nice landscape.
I have been pretty occupied lately. after a bit of travelling, still am trying to pickup on the comments. I am almost there, to start posting photos again.
I hope you won't be gone long. You have been a great friend. I am pretty sure, it will not be just me who will miss your constructive comments and great photos.

hi chris well i hope to see your work in the near future ive just stumbled across your work recently and like your approach.the photograph above expresses your style .as for (INTERNET)friends well something i learnt many years ago THE INTERNET is an OPEN FORUM (NARROW MINDED PEOPLE in many thousands)for free speech.Anyway your photography approach is excellent and can only excel more as time goes on.Its when i see photography like this and many of your others it inspires me to go out shoot landscapes & clouds like mad.

regards Brian....

I don't know what's happening, haven't heard anything, but have noticed some are missing.
But it certainly is SAD to hear 'things' are going on.

I just read some comments below, since I rarely visit the forums I was totally unaware of certain problems........now I have to go read some more. (or maybe I should just leave well enough alone! don't know)

Anyway, I do hope you come back VERY SOON. You would be greatly missed. Very much so, and you are a 'shining light' in a sometimes darkness...

Stay in touch,
Lori :)

so nice composition Chris. Very well done again. Be sure that I will miss you. You're a kind of inspiration for photographers. And if I read all the comments that your picture bring to you... you will miss all your UF friends. Hope you will keep in touch and that we will have news from you soon. Take care my friend.

Wish you all the best things in the world.

Hallo Chris,

Ich bin durch einen gemeinsamen Freund von uns auf dich aufmerksam geworden. Neil.

Ich bin bei weitem nicht so in das Usefilm geschehen Integriert wie Sie oder Neil. Aber trotzdem möchte ich gerne meine Meinung dazu äussern.

Ich finde es sehr schön, dass sich soviele neue Freundschaften über diese tolle Webside entwickelt haben. Leider musste auch ich schnell feststellen, dass nicht unbedingt nur schöne Bilder zählen um wahrgenommen und fair behandelt zu werden. Allerdings möchte ich auch sagen, dass Ihr alle selber entscheiden könnt, auf welche Meinung es zu zählen gilt! Nehmt es einfach locker und versucht euch an den schönen Dingen an der Webside zu erfreuen! Last euch nicht Unterkriegen!

Best wishes,

Sven

Chris this is a great image and a fitting one - while you take a break. I do find it hard to be tolerant of Forums threads being deleted if they do not suit admin, and questions going unanswered, but when good photographers who are very respectful of all other UFers, but do ask questions in threads are kicked off the site without notice it is bad. The only way people know what has happened is if they have made personal contact and hear that way, otherwise, particularly the non donors are completely unaware of this.

Great picture, Chris. You have an amazing portfolio and it would be sad if someone of your talent left UF... Seems from the comments you still have lots of friends left here! Keep a stiff upper lip (isn't that what you Brits are famous for??) and stick with us. Whatever your decision, thanks for the great pictures and inspiration to great photography... Be blessed.

Boy, I guess a lot of us are in the dark about the goings-on Chris. I enjoy this site so much, mostly because of folks like you! I hope you reconsider and continue your uploads. And I know that you still have lots of friends here (like me and Kathy and all the others that have commented to you just on this image!) I truly hope you don't leave!

Mr Blue Sky!!!!
I hope this will not be your last post my Friend...Your work is fantastic and I will surely miss it tremendously....I hope you reconcider...There are still a lot of people here who love viewing your work...Trolls of this site almost made me leave and not look back..I viewed other sites and all things concidered equal..This is still the Best of the Best.
I thought and thought about the same thing...And decided that the Grass is never greener on the other side.
Please take a bit of time and do some thinking as I have done...then come back!
If not....please let me know where you have landed..I ALWAYS love viewing and tracking your work...Very inspiring.

Spectacular scenery, Chris, and I love that trademark sky! It is too bad about people leaving, but I think that's in the nature of these type of sites, as well. I hope we'll see lots more of your wonderful work!

Hi Chris,
As always this is beautiful. I'm so sorry to hear that you will be leaving. I hope that it's not permanently! I love following your work! As a relative newcomers to Usefilm I really don't understand what is going on. It seems that it's just a few bad apples...but so many are jumping ship because of it.
It has been wonderful to get to know you my friend! God bless you and keep looking up! Hope that you are back after the first of the year!!!!!
Kathy

Great shot as ever Chris...I too wonder why people are leaving, however perhaps I am missing something.You may have read C.S Lewis'..The Four Loves...I read it when I did a Theology Degree some 20 odd years ago...it talks about how group dynamics change as people come and go...I shall miss the bits you bring out in me..but still I wish you well in whatever you decide to do, Regards, Brian

Great landscape shot Chris!!! Beautiful colors, gorgeous sky transplant, excellent composition... well done!!! I don't want to influence your decision but.... you know the song from Champaign: 'How about us....'???!!! If all the 'good guys' are leaving.... boohooohoooo... As a non-donor I'm probably not aware of all the things that are going on (as I'm not able to have a peek in the donor forum)... I believe in 'sticking' it out and enjoying my time online with the great people I've 'met' on this site... too bad if some want to spoil it, by giving nasty critiques or low ratings... (for some it's hard to fight the green monster)... Hope you have a wonderful Christmas with family and friends, a happy new year and stand tall.... just like that tower!!! For with whom am I going to practice my puns/english (she said selfishly... ;-D)???!!! Hope to 'hear' from you soon... Mr. Blue Sky...
