    Salmon Leap on the River Ribble, Yorkshire

    I was there for an hour, and saw 3 'leaps' in that hour, the previous time , I waited 2 hours for the first leap, and then another 5 leaps in the hour that followed, so a patient waiting game. One thing I did notice, if a salmon 'lept' in one place (and failed) it seemed to wait around 10-15...

    Vintage Revival

    Nice set, slight critique, would have liked a bit more space on the left on the first image for him to look into, 2nd image, again would have liked a tad more empty space above the hat. But generally good, looked a load of fun.

    Does anyone use a trolley to cart their gear around.

    Gosh,that's nearly 10 years ago :), and yes I did use it for a good while, especially if I had to cart any 'big' lenses around.

    Bradford Pride 2016

    Yes they are colourful (and a bit strange) :) , I'm sure each year they try and see who can be the most outrageous , and this year, they certainly put on a show, but it's a wonderful, friendly occasion, and I do hope the 'guy' with the UKIP badge turns up at the UKIP Party Conference ;)

    ATS Gal & Pride of Yorkshire, 1940's Weekend, Haworth

    Thanks Les, good call, I honestly didn't notice that stray foot , and yes, the 135mm f2 rarely disappoints, regardless of what body I've used it on, perfect for events like this where you can't control the backgrounds.
