Put a caterpillar back in the fridge (he was the lucky one I ate/bit its sibling in half) I figured it was okay after 4 days in there, I figured another 1/2 hour would be fine, the wife didn't agree so it got put out for the birds to try and find.

I'm another that cannot see it and the flickr link just comes up page not found.

Nice set, I like the footpath/bridge shot.

Lovely shots, really like #4 and the dragonfly. I haven't seen a butterfly in the garden this year the only ones I have seen were in the lakeland oasis.

They are great shots, I am constantly amazed at what ISO setting we can get away with on the cameras now.

Great shots, good to be reminded what the moon looks like and the detail that can be achieved.

e-bay has had some great bargains lately on the genuine adapters, I have been watching some on e-bay go for very little money, including 2 for the grand total of £11 the pair, sadly I was away when that was finishing but they do seem to appear once or twice a month.

I wasn't down on the lens, more on myself for not checking the settings on the camera and how everything together can spoil the opportunity.

The actual forming of the funnel was a very long way off, and the picture may have been OK if the ISO wasn't so high (16000) I was experimenting and annoying the wife (quite successfully ) the previous evening. Well with the all the grey and not alot of contrast in the sky, it was going to be tricky but by the time I downloaded the shots were a bust and lesson learned.

The later shots with ISO sensible were nice and the better half has picked out a few to be printed.

Just whilst getting familiar with the camera I only use the one lens when we go for a run out, saves the temptation to do the lens switching constantly, which I would be tempted to do as moved to the DSLR from a bridging camera and the extremes that gave kinda made me lazy with the wandering around to get the shot (how did I ever survive with only my 50mm on my first SLR?).

Probably lost in the initial frustration and poor choice of opening statement.
