Wow, incredible images by all of you.

Cheers,

Howard

Thank you John and David.

I tend to agree with you John, thought of cloning but it was much too much.


Cheers,

Howard

I'm here!!! Good morning.

Follow those as they say. An extremely difficult job. With such great images. So that's what you were doing kneeling down by the narrow boat, Cliff

So some of mine -

1. Approaching fast

Thanks for an enjoyable morning Cliff and John.

Howard

Like them, John. So those are the engines I missed yesterday as I decided not to go to Beeston. Did it stop there? Was Chester busy?

I also like the geese and butterflies, which are Red Admirals.

I, too, look forward to seeing Cliff's images.

Cheers,

Howard

Thanks Mike for that bit of information. Software already upgraded but I hesitated too long and I've missed the opportunity to buy as SRS price for this lens has now gone up. Would be very interested in seeing your images with the K10D+ Sigma 150-500 combination.

Now thinking of a TC to go with my 55-300. SRS tell me that the Kenko 1.4TC should be OK with 55-300, but manual focus I suppose. Any comments anybody?

Thanks,

Howard

Excuse me butting in, QC. On the same subject - how does the Sigma 150-500 perform with a K10D? Has anybody got this combination?

Ta in advance.

Howard

Is this a mallard mutation?

C&C welcome.

Howard

Thanks, John, for your comment. Glad you like it.

Howard

Sorry Cliff, John that I've been so long posting. Plenty of excuses but I won't bore you with them. I was indeed nice to meet up again last Saturday and to get away from family related problems for a few hours - and in the sunshine.

I can't hope to match the excellent images from you two, I'm not very happy with most of mine. However I'll put some up and you'll see why.

Freight train, freight train (Nancy Whiskey c1957) - view from the bridge-

What's behind the green door (Frankie Vaughan c 1956) - definitely not the loo I was in need of

and finally the purpose of our visit

So there you are for what they are worth.

Howard

Hi Dave,

You have a pm(I hope) with questions and a possible offer.

Regards,

Howard
