Great Crested Grebes exchanging feathers!
Went scouting round today looking for great crested grebes pairing up and struck lucky on our 3rd attempt. Whilst we did see a little bit of courtship display, unfortunately it was from the wrong side of the lake so could only manage a distant record shot. Went to grab the main kit out of the car...

Great Crested Grebes exchanging feathers!
Very nice Danny. Like the low viewpoint. I checked out my local grebes on Saturday, who raised two clutches last year. They are back too, and were busy nest building between periods of complete indifference to each other. So looking forward to seeing some little striped humbugs :wink:

Mixed Bag from The Scottish Motorcycle Show
The Kawasaki's were horendous machines to ride. Royal Enfield image takes top image for me. Ha, You are right, I remember reading a report about the Kawa 500 2-stroke that suggested that there was so much power that the frame woud flex under acceleration, and even bend in the corners. Of course th...

The Great Vault (Penax-m 85mm f2)

Camera club assignment
You were missed Barrie. Hope to see you back on the assignments soon. The flea market trader was a real character and the owl shot was something new for me - its rare for me to do bird shots. He was real cute. David PPG: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artists/davidtrout

Macro | The fly
Thanks to all my fellow friends here for all C&C. Wow, stunning. how did you manage to get all of the fly in focus, all depth? As Gary Hickin said - sideview really helps with limited DoF at high magnification.

Peregrine Falcons in Aylesbury town centre!
Having recently bought a new Gitzo GT5562GTS tripod at Focus for the ease of use the extra height brings to shooting near vertically, the first target for the new kit was the Peregrine Falcons that are resident in the County Offices tower in the centre of Aylesbury. This is very convenient for me...

The Road is CLOSED
I'm wondering how long it will be before the water/gas/telecom/elec/cable/etc/etc come and dig it up again, I betting before this year is out. Almost certainly - It often seems as if they wait for a utility to request clearance to dig up the road, then rush resurface it first! Most of the roads...

Goldcrests anyone?
What superb shots youve captured here, so nice to see. How close where you when you took these shots? These shots and the previous post were taken at about 5 metres the Sigma 500mm's minimum focus distance is 4 metres.

For Coker (Roger)
These aren't for beautiful pictures this it what I do to record nature at work - so they are virtually unprocessed. I've been keeping an eye on a chrysalis in my poly-tunnel for months now. At this stage I didn't know which butterfly was going to emerge. Today the colouring had changed ...
