3 of mine - I'm new to macro (that's my excuse and I'm gonna stick to it)
Think mine are a bit too vibrant too - need toning down a little

Love the detail on #2 Chris

Hi Chris. Nice meeting you all again. Me and Andy are enjoying the college courses currently to try and get a bit better. I have attached some of the pictures I took yesterday. Pleased with the results but still a lot of room for improvement. Regards Malcolm

Finally got around to look at some more photos taken yesterday.

Whilst waiting for the organiser to show up, this chap appeared and stayed out in the sun.

[ChrisHeathcote]

Some fantastic shots coming out from everyone so far, I've still got a few more to go through, but I'm pleased so far

 

[MWHCVT]

Now that's a proper tounge shot there Di, and as to my lateness well what can I say, I'm unless but at least I avoided all and every classic TR6 left on the roads this time

 

[JulesP]

Yeah some really good shots coming out of this meet

 

[MalcEady]

Hi Julian. It must have been because we were all warm on the shoot compared to Whipsnade Zoo in January!! Enjoyed the location and good to see everyone's shots to compare

 

[ChrisHeathcote]

As promised a few more from me

This little chaps wings were beating frantically so I wanted to try and catch the motion

A good time was indeed had by all I think, though that said I've never been on a meet I didn't enjoy
