LOL - thanks. Having a bit of a run at the moment. The only sure thing is that it'll dry up.

Well taken

I find it hard enough to photograph the grey ones - never even seen a wild red one
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

You'll curse that bit of wood for the rest of your life

Cracking shots though, I'd have been happy with every one.

What a great day off work Alan - all superb - first one a real stunner. Like Stuey, I am totally surrounded by greys and am yet to see a red in the wild

I'm impressed you spotted the wood mouse let alone managed to get an excellent photo of it. Great shots.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

A truly fabulous set Alan, number 2 must be one of the best I've ever seen! Well deserved praise from the other members above.

Looks a cracking lens and works very well on the impressive K5. I would like this lens myself but its out of my price range. Some lovely photos there Alan well done.
regards Ian
