Its a shame they have too suffer in such a way.
Good news though, I went back down there today and the local parks and wildlife service was there and captured the bird. The guy thinks it will lose its foot
BTW its a Dusky Moorhen

I took my Sigma 180mm macro out today and instead of getting off any shots i ended up finding this bird with its leg wrapped in fishing line, and looking a little worse for wear.

There was a ranger working in the park and i reported it to him, and we spent the next hour trying to catch it before it got dark. Unsucessfully i might add




Any fishermen out there please don't leave your old fishing line lying around, take it with you and dispose of it accordingly. thankyou

A friend of mine put me onto this company.http://tinyurl.com/6kg6ee and i purchased this screen on his recommendation. (F6-A Focusing Screen) its basically a Nikon screen made for the Pentax K20.
I haven't been disappointed with it and find its great for macro (no blackouts).

Congrats Nimitz, it is a stunner, enjoy

Great shots, I like the shot of the yellow plane with the white cosses on the wing, Was he doing a loop :

That looks like a pretty risky stunt flying through those flags

Wow Fantastic shot I can't fault that. The colours contrast very well.

Now that would make a great action shot

Seriously though i didn't notice a trend until Viper-biker mentioned it.
I did post a pic once of my cat catching a mouse

Panning shot



Action shot

Excellent shots, Nos 2 and 4 are my favs
I had one of those macro converters, i think it was a teleplus but wasn't all that thrilled with it and sold it off.

Are you still using the pop up flash :

Whats the difference between a German unit opposed to a proper Dutch unit :
