Happy Birthday Cedric. The big 60
I've had my bus pass for 9 years but it isn't valid in Scotland. If they vote for independence no doubt I'll need a visa to visit too

The moon shot could be quite easy to fake!

I normally use a large orange piece of cardboard with
a yellow disk to fake my sunsets
Stop putting ideas in my head

Quite good Stan, I don't think the 150-500mm is really
suitable for BIF..... highest I've ever shot was a woodpecker
in hole in a tree popping it's head out

The moon shots very good.

I've never tried close ups with it either although it does
look suitable.
Thanks for the encouragement

I think the bird had almost stopped to look at something

The moon shot may well feature in other photos too

This lens seems to be more multi purpose than I thought and with practice (lots) I hope to get some good images.

Another "I wish I'd thought of that" comment from Algi. Your one liners crack me up

Didn't have a lot to choose from in the garden and just wanted to make sure it was making the "right noises" out of the box. The other snaps I took came out as expected too. So I can go out in public now

Otherwise I'll be SO jealous!

This is definitely a place I'd like to visit but doubt I could do it justice photographically as you certainly have

Nice. I like the sky in #1 the 360° effect in #2 and the ordinary shot #3
