So Many Blackfly,
Yes, Davex, I did what it says on the tin! Closest focus, rock to & fro, snap! I just wanted to show the busy-ness of the scene. Roger. (Why do you ask.....?)

Poppy field - 6 images
First poppy field I have ever seen near me, 'twas only 1 mile away from my house. :D Spent a good hour wandering around it the other night... I had just came off a 12 hour shift too! Dedication? :wink: Then I was just trying something different in PhotoShop. Let me know what you think. :) ...

TAIR 3 Test shots
We had a company evening out at Leicester races last week and I came away £50 better off:D Inevitably LBA kicked in and I made an impulse purchase of a 'faulty' ZENIT ES Photosniper. Mostly for the novelty factor but also I was curious as to how good the old Russian TAIR 3 (300mm F4.5 prime) was. ...

Weekend in virgina water park
Ah they bring back memories :D. I like # 1 & 3 too. # 7 makes the waterfall look really good (which from memory it isn't). I too am wondering what the red object is though. I think #5 would be better as a landscape crop or square crop - there is something about the trees and sky which doesn't ...

A wander around Dinorwic slate quarry
Very nice, Simon although Paul has a point. I imagine in the back of your mind you are scouting these spots out for a return visit later in the year when the light is better at more sociable times of day.

Loud toys....for boys
Heavens - that brings back memories! I am surprised that they are still allowed in these PC and H&S obsessed days. First saw these some 55 years ago at a control line event held in Preston Park, Brighton. I was very impressed - much cooler (and faster) than my Yulon 30 powered prop efforts.....:mrgr...

My day of aerobatics are over sadly:cry: Though did some a few years back on a Yak52. It's an expensive hobby. I still have a control line plane though, which I designed myself (well actually modified heavily: I used the wing off an existing model). It has a glow plug engine which is far too big...

Gotta go fly a real one now, Dhaka back to Doha on the freighter. Just as I wrote that, the phone rings and I am told the plane is still in Calcutta!!:(

Macro
The woodlouse is pretty amazing, I like the fly, really sharp focus on the eyes which is what I always strive for, but a tighter crop right and bottom might improve it. Nice work Stuey :D

Great tit with the Tair
Given that this shot is taken 'wide open' that lens looks like it will get more use. :D What is the minimum focus distance with it :?:

Great tit with the Tair
Yes Stuey, in theory it should get better stopped down a bit. Minimum focus distance is around 3M. Looking forward to using it more.

Thats pretty good, my Tokina 300mm f5.5 has a minimum focus of around 5 metres.

First shots on IR-converted body
You're clearly getting there! Exposure will always be hit and miss as there's no way of knowing how much IR light is present. However, it's always been the same, so I guess there's always going to be an element of surprise when you look at the results. With the filter on the lens the meter saw mo...

Wow, well done for getting the camera back together, I'm impressed.

Glass Vase
It is as you say Gareth "window light through a slatted blind" I thought the light on the background broke up the black ..... It does. The new version you posted without it has no charisma at all. It's flat and lifeless IMHO the original versions suffered from placement/composition, not th...

Some from Ullswater and the Eden Valley this morning.
Decided on an early start this morning to go down to Ullswater for dawn. Not been getting out much lately and keen to try and get back into the habit. The spot I planned for at Ullswater didn't really work out - thats the long exposure at the top. A spot I'd been wanting to try but the 10-20 might n...

Some from Ullswater and the Eden Valley this morning.
Cheers I'd like to have got to the second last one a few minutes before when the sun hadn't blasted off most of the mist. Could have been a very nice scene. Might go back in the next couple of days if conditions suggest it might be misty again. The cows are my favourite of the morning.

Some from Ullswater and the Eden Valley this morning.
Cheers folks - appreciate that. A crop removing the tree in No4 definitely helps Doc. No 5 is a wee bit dark - not had much practice at bracketing but tried it on this but I think the balance of light and dark was quite extreme so just trying to process a single image here. I might work on one of...
