These were on my neighbors blue hydrangea, ours is red and not as easy to see, Boy do these things move, the speed of them,
I only managed a couple of shots, and none of them face on, so I will revisit with the hope of getting a better angle, and hopefully a less busy composition.

Brilliant set, I have never even gotten close enough to try and get a shot, let alone a set as great as these.

Cheers John, hmm would I get away with it being the Samsung clone of the old pentax s6 edge 😂😂😂😂
We ended up having a week of up and down the mountains with gorse fires,
Nothing like the difficulties ye had with the moor fires as ours had no depth to them due to the granite base of the mountains. For us its just hours of beating out fires and climbing
We did get one of the lads stuck in a bit of a sink hole up to his armpits, even with the extremely hot and dry weather. He got a little bit of slagging over that one.
And yes it really is rewarding. Most rewarding job I've ever had and I have tried more than a few, (I get bored 😂

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Cheers John,

I may be wrong but I have a feeling that it may be a bit more basic than you in the UK and the rest of the modern world might be used to. It is Ireland that we are talking about here, itll probably be in one of 2 places, Pub or cow shed

Dont know if there is anything here that will help,

If not, our resident flash guru, Nigel should be able to help, if someone else doesnt beat him to it.
