The Fisher King
A delightful set that show the merit of APS-C for wildlife in good light. (Good friend) Colin should show more of his excellent work on here. Generally a better audience than Facebook i find. Blythman. (Alan) for example, inspired me to try harder with my own nature photography. Not sure if m...

The Fisher King
A great set of them beauties. They have a habit of being just out of reach for me, but at Lackford Lakes they are surprisingly close. I 'found' Lackford Lakes last oct and can't have been in the hide for more than 15mins when the Kingfisher appeared did lots of posing, this side, that side.... It wa...

Some more from Track day
:D .... I was thinking of French Landscapes in general, not just racing track landscapes ! If you can pull yourself away from the cars that is :D Nigel - the trip was pretty much a dash across France and a couple of days at the circuit and then straight back. I don't find that part of Normandy and...

A selection of Butterflies
Slightly off-thread, but can any recommend a good and "simple", cheap book on butterfly identification as we do get a few in the garden now that we have a lot of flowering plants - then maybe I can try to get a couple of shots to post here (but not with a K-1 /150-450 - far too heavy for me now!)? C...

Knockhill BTCC
Hi Folks Here's a selection from the Knockhill round of the BTCC. It's very much my favorite circuit on the calendar, despite it's many faults (camping on a hill for instance) it has such character and the racing is spectacular at times. Thanks to Mike (Petrochemist) for sneaking me onto the g...

A selection of Dragonflies
Just came across a couple of dragonflies over a large puddle, only had the 24-70 lens on but when they cheekily hovered a few inches in front of the lens I tried a few shots. On every one they zipped off as I pressed the shutter! So, great respect for your outstanding images, well done. What focus d...

A selection of Dragonflies
Thanks. The Keeled Skimmers here were taken at Thursley, one of the best places I've ever been for Dragonflies. The resting Downy was pure luck, it literally just landed next to me, so I quickly grabbed as many shots as I could! It is rare to see them settle. I've not ever owned the 300, though I've...

Tower Bridge
Thank you all very much for the kind comments. I am not a big fan of living in London but the city never ceases to offer photo opportunities anywhere you look :) Superb set - you've handled the lighting superbly, and the skies are particularly good. Would like to see them at a larger size :D ht...

Dragonfly in Flight
I've no idea how you could possibly get these in focus! Its a special skill thats for sure ..... I also think the movement of the wings is excellent, so the shutter speed is really well judged. Impressive indeed!

Dragonfly in Flight
I posted in another thread about settings, when Chris asked, but for those interested, all of my in flight shots are handheld (or occasionally with a monopod in lower light) and I use single centre point focus and AFC mode for focus. I will adjust the f-stop accordingly to keep the shutter speed bel...
