Tis no probs

One teansie bit of C&C...I'd clone out that fence line above the "Short Eared Owl in low light". It's a tad distracting

Got to be the last one for me.
The others are cracking shots, but there's something about catcing a bird of prey in flight!

Spent the weekend camping in Yorkshire with my little'un. Third year on the trot now going to the Yorkshire Rally. I think I've turned him into a proper "Bobble-hat"!.

Anyways, here are the first of a lot. I'm much happier this year with my shots. Last year I stuck to Av mode. This year I used combinations of Av, Tv and manual, which I think worked better given the speed of the cars and changeable light conditions. Still need to work on my panning though!

So...it's a Boots, Dixons, 1970's 2000's Tripod

Either way..I still like it; it's kinda quirky!

Damn! burst my bubble why don't you? Dixons indeed!

It does hold my *istDL with Tamron 300mm on.

Well, in order to celebrate 19 years of torture, erm...marriage my good lady bought me a lovely old tripod.
It is made by Pyramid.
I wonder if any of you guys have any details / knowledge of this? I've had a quick rummage around on 'tinternet and it appears like it could be 1950s, but I can't believe it is really that old....is it?
Photos were taken on my phone, in work, hence the quality.

Got to agree; the birds just make the shot.

I hadn't thought of mono, but I'll have a look.
Crop number 2, just to keep the top right 1/3(ish)?

Not from the guy in number 2, but we did buy some when we were there.

Been twice and love the place, although it's never without incident. The first time we got heavily rained on and wet home dripping.
This time I got food poisoning
