Stop wingin' FB and get on with it. :nono:

I shall judge this cos it's my thread. Points will deducted for bread, seed, nuts, etc in the shot and any other signs of blatantly enticing the subject.

Early tests arem't good, but I'll stick something up in a minute juist to give you lamos something to go at. :D

Multiple entries are allowed.

Bugger!

That' pretty good, but lots of points will have to be deducted - blatant enticement of the subject and a non natural setting. :D
 
When does this prestigeous comp.close Cedric?

Great news,it may have stopped persisting down by then...............:LOL:
 
hmmmm, how do you rig a 500mm lens to the viewfinder of a nokia?

It will be allowed Green One, but will have to be heavily marked down for blatant use of live bait - visible in the shot too. ;)
 
First go then. This doesn't bode well at full zoom and about 5 feet. :D

I don't think 5mp is gonna hack it. :LOL:
 
Very good Cedric, but... :thinking: ... that twig looks anything BUT natural imhgo... :cautious:


Mega points deduction is due... ;)

LOL. Sorry Rog - it's rooted in the ground - gardeners have gone a bit OTT with the pruning mind! :p
 
Time to get muddy...........:D

P.S I find this challenge discriminatory against those that don't have camera phones :nono: I'm reporting you to the Mobile Phone Discrimination Board!

No 2 is pretty damned good and conforms with all the rules as far as I can see. (y)

Hmmmm. I think I need a bigger boird... my technique is crap! :puke:
 
Don't worry - I'm just warming up and I know of this ostrich farm near the dad in laws. :naughty:
 
LOL. OK then. Frac might be the one to watch here - he's got a lot of wildlife to go at! :dummy:
 
I know it's not strictly a bird image... :thinking: ... but they have got wings guv... :rules:


But I could not resist showing you this one taken while I was stalking the real fliers... :D

It caught my eye because of the out of place petal... :shrug:


Not so bad for a hand held 3MP mobilly image now is it... :shrug:





:p
 
Eez damed good, but it does beg the question..if you can do this good with a camera phone why don't we see more shots with your proper gear?
 
There we go. Taken with my Sony C902 the other morning.
