Thanks Techno'... I gave it a quick bit of a go...




...and I think it was a good suggestion as I like this more I think - although I fear I could tinker for hours...

Thanks folks! Number one is the cherry for me too

I reckon I'm very close to Flossie so that sums up my weather. Was out early on my bike in Richmond Park with the camera (as I am pretty much every sunday) and ended up covered in Mandarin Ducklings (literally) - they have obviously been fed a lot as these ones were sitting on my legs and pecking at my hands! - too close for my lens to focus!! very cute though.

Not had lunch yet... (sausages it will be...)

Pretty much an average sunday for me...

I agree with comments on first and last - proper brit seaside... I really like becalmed, and in the portrait format as you have it - I suspect it just comes down to individual tastes. I can see how it would also work as Father Ted suggests.

I'd like to go and see some Puffins now as well

I was playing around in PSE with a couple of shots and came up with these...







Would love to know what anyone else thinks of these - think there are a couple of blobs on the second I ned to clone away better...

Cheers

Thanks everyone and no worries about making names up - made me smile in any case Henceforth all stripey green bugs will be Lady Gaga's to my mind...

Cheers

Hello all. Nice day today and I was in the Garden of Ham House snapping away. Was mainly looking for bugs and got a few macro shots, including these three... Not necessarily the best shots but I was wondering if anyone out there knows their bugs well enough to be able to say what these are:

First up, a vibrant green bug which I think is a kind of Weevil...



Then a creature that looks a bit like a cricket from it's big back legs but not sure...



...and lastly a creature on a big daisy (two bugs actually) - it maybe is a kind of Moth (the bigger bug) but I really don't know:



Any help anyone can give would be appreciated. All were taken hand-held with DFA100 and K-7 (which has a grubby sensor I think )

Regards

Try wearing a rubber glove on the hand you are gripping the filter with...

Hope that helps

What a great capture - very cool eye on this feller. Top shot

Great set - as with most of the sets posted here from people's travels, it makes me want to go there too!! I really like grain Silo (Detail 2) in B/W, and I like the first shot a lot. Would love to see the sunset shot...

Regards
