I had some time on my hands on Monday so took myself to Birkenhead park. It's a bit early for spring, but I was hopeful that I could get some shots.
A couple of the squirrels were very friendly. One even stopped about 2m in front of me to have a scratch.

Some more from Saturday's roam around Port Sunlight. This guy was painting a scene and was more than happy for me to photograph him. He's asked if he can use my shots on his website. (But then, he hadn't seen them yet!).
C&C as always.

Not sure about this one. I think there's something there, but I can't find it.

Great photos in there.
I love the "Room with a view" set. Such ordinary subject matter but such great shots with it.

Thanks Alan.Those are really nice Ted, of course having this on your doorstep you can go whenever the light is right

I don't remember you needing too much persuasion . If you are ever over this way again, let me know, I'm sure we can get a few more pints down

Well, I haven't posted on here for ages, primarily because I haven't taken my camera out of its bag for ages.
But this weekend I had to wait around for my daughter, so I decided to take the opportunity to have a play.
Here are some shots of the war memorial in Port Sunlight on the Wirral.
C&C welcome.

Cracking shot!! (I've never managed to find Andromeda, but not for lack of trying!)Is that cropped?The best I've ever managed was this:

I'll have to give the Orion nebula another go this winter. I hadn't thought of using my 300mm, I tend to think of mounting to my scope all the time.
What stacking software did you use? I have a free version of Registax somewhere, but never got round to installing it.

Great shots, as usual.
7 is my favourite, lovely and sharp on the foreground bike and nice sense of speed on the background bike.
5 has to be a contender for a caption competition.

My iST DL can behave oddly with the batteries.
Try cleaning the battery contacts and see if that helps.

FWIW, I agree.The main problem as far as I can see is the floral, fussy vase (nice enough as a vase) is fighting for attention with the flowers.
The strong lighting on the right hand side of the vase just keeps grabbing my eye.

I've gotten a bit out of practice lately, so all of these comments are useful to me.
Thanks again.
