An absolute classic.

Su, superb.
Winning shot, at least one of them.
I did wonder whether to remove the wires, but no, the glitch is in the grass. Probably not worth worrying about...
In the tent
Two Shaeffer pencils that I really like.
The Caran d'Ache is really stylish.

Gorgeous. I wonder if a square crop would work? Cutting out the reflections on the left?

That's an unusual take.
The Palm House at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London.
This brings back memories of when I lived in Gunnersbury, a short walk from Kew. I spent many Sunday afternoons in Kew gardens, when it cost a Penny to enter.
In hide
Last Saturday I spent in bird hide in hope to see and photograph golden eagles. Alas, I saw only one flyby and no photos. Moreover, weather was cloudy and misty with occasional rain, so conditions were not the best for good photographs. But the white-tailed eagles came to save the day, they spent considerable time nearby and provided some photo opportunities which I managed to fail partially.
Here is action sequence I managed to fail with too slow shutter speed. There was 3 eagles: one pair and one young female. This young specie steals food from other female in quite spectacular movement by waiting for attack, jumping over other eagle, stealing food and flying away.
I really enjoyed these. It is so good and different to see nature acting out its routine in a series, rather than see just one shot.
For The Birds
The weather has been a bit poor here over the last few weeks, so I've confined myself to daily walks along the local canal with the OM1. While this is a nice location, it can get a bit samey and I end up shooting relatively mundane subjects. Not quite in the ducks on the local pond department, but not far off...
On one day I came across this little fella singing its heart out...
I like this shot a lot, just because the Wren is just so dainty.

A penny?! It cost me 2200 of those.
Spectacular sunsets...
... were forecast this week courtesy of a saharan dust event. Well, that didn't get as far as Cumbria, but last night I happened to look up through the window shortly before sunset and saw that the trees beyond our neighbouring field were lit up by wonderful light. So I abandoned the cooking and grabbed the camera. All taken over the back fence of the garden.
I wish I could look out of the window of my house and have these views! Number one shows us that you do not have to travel far to make lovely photo's. That light is just wonderful.

Eagles making eggs. Another delicate balancing act.
Holy smokes! :-)
For The Birds
Excellent.
Spectacular sunsets...
Yes, the light! :-)
In the tent
I am still playing around with small things in a light tent.
Excellent and outstanding! Well done.

The perspective, color and exposure... super!
I’m really enjoying using UWA lenses.
Yup - my fav lens too. Exciting viewpoint. Well done.
