A Bovine Audience

Went up into the hills above Inverness at the beginning of the week to catch the sunset near Lochness.

The sunset was a bit of a disappointment, but I had plenty of on-lookers that all took a turn to pose for me.

Looks like a cow, isn't it? In Poland, we've got only one kind of cows, it's a black and white cows.

Amazing D.O.F..

Love that "last light of the day".

Do you have a filter to keep bovine slobber off your lens. (These guys have huge tongues!)

That is...simply...delicious!
Anybody got a bottle of Chilean Merlot to go with that?

Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Would that also include the pepper sauce?


Nice shot, though!

I'll look out for those numbers in the butcher's window!

Yes Mac, there was a lot of slobber !!!

This one let go through the nose, when she brought her head up, missed the camera, but got me on the sleeve. Looks a bit cross-eyed from this angle !

Really nice shots - I like the effect that the fish-eye lens produces.

The other day, we were in our local butchers when a couple of ducks wandered in !

Unfortunately I did not have a camera with me.

Moral of the story - always have a camera of some description with you.

Hi Hyram, yes I love the 10-17mm, it's always on the camera. I also tend to take the Sigma 105 with me when I go walk-about.
I got a Pentax FA50 f1.4 recently and I'm starting to carry that as well, it's a 'quality' lens.
The rest of the lenses seem to stay in the cupboard, does that mean my LBA has died ???
Or does it mean I can take the all photographs I like with these three lenses, so I don't need to buy any more ?

But . . . .

I understand there is a 17-70mm coming, but if it was a fast 17-120mm I would probably start saving now.
