A bit paranoid removing it, given your council sell your electoral roll details, DVLA sell your address to crooks and you can check how invisible you are with 192.com. The thing to avoid is advertising when you are on holiday. Just post the pics when you're back.

Kestrel
Hello all. I haven't posted any pics for a while, but last weekend, in the small pocket of reasonable weather within what has been a very ropey few days now, I was out taking pictures of some birds of prey at a Falconry centre. I took rather a large number and so far have only been through a bunch o...

Droplets macro tests
That was even more annoying than previous one... This time i was throwing coins in a transparent bowl full with water, again surrounded by kitchen cloths. One YN-560 triggered by built-in flash, which was covered by sheet of black paper. Took me 40 or 50 coins to get the focus right :)

First hoverflies of the spring
Apparently you can tell a wasp by the long antenna, pinched waist and the fact that when they are sitting their wings go completely back (3 & 4). Anyway .. bit late now as it's probably back in the wasp nest (or should that be hoverfly nest?) :D

Bahrain Grand Prix
No 12... so you can take petrol bombs in then? :lol: First item on the list may cover that? Great images Simon. Takes me back to when it all started with the circuit construction etc. I covered two F1 events whilst based in Bahrain. How things have changed although it never was quiet, t...

Pub Gig, K-5 and the DA35mm f/2.4
I shot some eight gx20 but used flash to fill in. Yes its good to go back to basics, doing Live at Leeds in acouple of weeks, that's full of newly signed bands in tiny uni bats etc but has marina and the diamonds as a headliner.... Very nice on the eye :-D

A Recent trip to the dales
I like them all but I love number 4. As for being rushed by your partner, I've found that persistence (or just sheer bloody-mindedness) has gradually built up my wife's tolerance - I can now get quite a few shots off before the inevitable "can we just go now?" :wink: Thanks every one for the nice...

First posting of photo's
thanks all. I know the thistle isn't very appealing as is. But it was the colour that hit me. The plan was to use it as inspiration for an abstract painting. Which I have not got around to but have played about on photoshop to give you an idea. Now the intention would be to paint this on a massiv...

Testing new photo bucket account
Interestingly, this butterfly was perched on the daffodil bud and was barely noticed it fitted in colour wise so perfectly. I was photographing the daffodils and just wondered what it was that was sticking up in the air. This butterfly remained on this bud for the whole day. When the sun went ro...

Llangollen Station
Ha! I've been climbing there about 4 times and never knew there was a train station (that's the back of a transit-van for you!) I like your B&Ws!

Bird pics from today
. You sure the wren isn't stuffed :D Cheers Alan A couple of times it landed close to my feet too close to focus on. I think a stuffed one might have been easier.

Alright then, you don't lke Sheep?
Hows this un of Lodore Landing on Derwentwater? Taken around the same time as the Sheep shot in the previous thread, I've never quite got to grips with this view but I took a stance further back than most do this particular day, to use the Jetty and the boat on the right. (I had to wait about twenty...

Chicks on Sticks
Hi Stan. No I took my 18-55 WR, My Sigmas 10-20, 24-60 & A 2x converter. I took my monopod & flash but didn't use them. As you can see the first photo is cropped letterbox from the 10mm end of the 10-20. For the others I got up really close with the 10mm & just cleaned up the surround with a squar...

At Swanwick
it's me again... went back to Swanwick today. The little coots are growing fast! Their mothers are teaching them how to dive for food. They are bigger as well.

Whitby Gothic Weekend Pictures, April 2012
Very little on exposure Alan, just a bit of local area selective dodging in levels. It was tricky cloning out some intrusive out of focus people in the background though. David PPG: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artists/davidtrout

A sparce week for landscape photographs in the Lake District
Just back from a week hiking around Ambleside/The Langdales in the Lake District and although we were lucky to miss most of the rain that's been around the country during the week, conditions were less than ideal for landscape photographs, flat/dull lighting most of the time. Fortunately one day pro...

A walk around Rye
Brings back memories of childhood holidays. We used to go to a bungalow at Jury's Gap just along from Camber as kids. We went back a couple of years ago, just for a day, and I'm hoping to revisit again in August. I love Rye and Winchelsea, in fact the whole Romney Marsh area.

At Testwood lake park
The composition and the quality of the shots is excellent, very well done indeed. The only thing I'm not so happy with is the tonal quality and colour of the greens. They have that over-bright digital look that suggests they were over exposed as sensors do not handle over-exposure of the green ve...
