great shot like the tongue showing

A first for me I was looking for adders and disturbed this little guy. I couldn't believe the change in colour when the light hit him in the second shot. The reason for the title of lucky lizard is that when i was taking the first shot the lizard looked up and just out the picture a very...

Looks sharp to me. Great shot

Thanks for all the great comments. I know there not the sharpest or best composed shots in the world but its just nice to have my mojo back and to be posting again on talk. Once again thankyou for taking the time to look Richard

First willows at 500mm didn't crop it just trying to get a close up detailed shot with all the bird in frame trying to use rule of thirds. If you mean the one with both coal and willow that was just chance that the coal came into the shot that's why i changed it to b&w to distract from the coal...

Just for Dave. The original didn't stand out aswell it looked a bit dull due to the lighting at the time. A few more coal's for good measure. willow coal by SHEPHERD550, on Flickr Coal Tit by SHEPHERD550, on Flickr Coal Tit by SHEPHERD550, on Flickr

Spent the morning with moochas yesterday at a local spot he knew and it didn't disappoint. There were birds everywhere and with the snow it couldn't have been a nicer day to get some shots. The willow tit made my day has i'd never even seen one before beautiful bird. Thanks for looking Richard...

It was the first time that i'd heard the roar of the engine close up. You can't help but think about the history behind this plane and what it would feel like to see several flying over head off to protect this country

Not sure if i'm on the right forum because this is not very creative but just looking for some critique and advice on these images. I was bored in the house one day and decided to grab the camera and a pack of cards to see what type of images i could come up with. i don't really know much about...

Found a better close up shot without chopping the tail off still not perfect on the prop blur tho and i also had a dabble converting one to black and white Spitfire by SHEPHERD550, on Flickr Spitfire by SHEPHERD550, on Flickr

Will try next time just glad to b back taking photos. It wasn't till i got back and went through them that i thought i should av experimented more with the shutter speed

No probs Dave al check when its back on again i think there's events throughout the year. Its just off the m1 at junction 36 near tankersley mcdonalds I'll message u when i know more. It was the first time id been to one of these events it was great fun taking pictures and the fans make it a...

Thanks for the detailed critique and info most people just put whether or not they like it but not many give advice on how to improve there photos. Sorry about the title it was a bit of a mixed bag day there was a stunt show a motocross trial and some trials biking but forgot to add the trials...

cheers dave it was that close it was hard to get a full shot great fun trying tho

Back again took these at a local spot on the outskirts of Sheffield nearly got killed a hundred times but fun trying to get the timing right bit scary when your staring down the lens because you can't keep an eye on other riders crashing all around you Cheers for looking Richard
