Saw this over home yesterday afternoon. (K5, 150-500 @ 450ish, handheld).
We're just s. of Salisbury Plain & quite often see large RAF planes going round us & over the Plain.

Not seen this one before, though.... & thought it might interest the plane-snappers among us. Not mid-Wales quality, Sorry!

Also, was intrigued to see its accompanying small aircaft. What's he doing, following / alongside the big'un?

Just for interest, really.....

The post on which they're perched is one I set up by the paddock fence about two years ago, when we had a barn owl visiting. He never found the pole to his liking, however!

Everything comes to those who wait!

Any C&C more than welcome!

Thanks for looking,

Roger.

Not as convenientas the set at the top of this post of Womble's, but I refer you gentlemen to my image in the Galleryof last week, showing two images of an aquilegia flower.
These/this was taken to be viewed using the "cross-eyed" method. It takes a little practise
But, once mastered, the 3D effect is remarkable.
The image was taken with a k5 & 100mm macro. The camera on a long mounting plate to enable a "separation" of 66 mm.
The website revered to above (with Queen), has details.
There are many superb (extreme macro) examples on the photomacrography website
