Ian 2,417 #1 Posted July 12, 2014 Although I do take a lot of photo's most days, most of the photo's are of my projects.. Every once in a while I like to take a few snaps just for fun and because I enjoy it. Now don't worry, I'm not about to post the clock photo's again Living where I do out in sticks we do get a lot of wild life and some of it comes through the garden which is handy Meet Bert.. A green woodpecker.. A lot less green woodpecker A pheasant strutting his stuff. A chilling rabbit. Some smaller wildlife, a dragonfly. And a butterfly feasting on a blackberry. Bluebells. One year the lawn exploded into colour as the clover went into overdrive.. It looked so nice I didn't want to cut the lawn Some photo's look best in black and white.. And some have to be taken in the dark A few slow moving mushrooms.. And these last two I have no idea what they are as Photobucket is playing up and all I can see is the link! 1 Lauber1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #3 Posted July 12, 2014 Nice photo's Ian. I should really carry my camera with me more often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neil 524 #4 Posted July 12, 2014 You know what Ian , photography was one of my passionate hobbies before I got into these tractors. It's a great hobby to follow . Now that we are in the digital era the subjects are endless and can be done for not a lot of money . I love getting out into the countryside & taking the camera with me. I love the pics that you have taken , on what equipment do you use to take your pics. Here is a picture of the swans that are residents of the pond next to my house that's my house in the picture 1 Ian reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neil 524 #6 Posted July 12, 2014 Norm , would you believe that youths leave this tranquil spot full of rubbish & empty beer cans every weekend. Enough mess to make you cry every Monday morning . Eastern Europeans also arrive with sack trucks full of alcohol & leave it in horrendous states. Oops sorry Ian for distracting from topic. I was taking a closer look at your photos and must say that they are pretty sharp & great composition, did you use telephoto with tripod? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 2,417 #8 Posted July 16, 2014 Very nice Will have to find some of mine... Thanks Mark, yep please dig out some of your photo's and add to this thread, would love to see them.

Here is a picture of the swans that are residents of the pond next to my house that's my house in the picture image.jpg That's a nice photo Neil, shame the non locals turn up to trash it at the weekends.. I use a Fuji HS10 camera that has a 30x optical zoom.. still getting to grips with it really, I need to get out there and use it more! some of the photo's were taken on a tripod, but most were not.. The camera has a great "anti shake" thingy which is very handy for me I find using the camera's timer to "press the button" so to speak when using a tripod is the best way to get steady clear photo's Great photos chaps Thanks Paul.

neil 524 #18 Posted July 18, 2014 Ian , have you ever considered getting a remote shutter devise . They are not very expensive . They are great for nature pictures where you can pitch up the camera and then go and hide and then take the picture from a hide by remote control . Great bit of kit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great bit of kit good suggestion Neil if you are using Canon - they are about £3 from china, pretty useful for some shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
