Well done Carpy. I think you've got the makings....

Thanks Nev, I am absolutely loving it, only down side is the lenses, I need a couple more lol, would like a macro and a longer telephoto (300mm??) lol, macro I could just about do, either the 7artisans 60mm F2.8, or the Pergear 60mm F2.8, both cheap enough, but the 100-300 looks like it is just a bit to much for me .

Bromham Nature Reserve today

I wish I had waited for the wind to calm on this one, for a better reflection.

A weird bit of cloud iridescence between the Severn bridges (also visible to the naked eye)

I think a pattern in the type of images I like is starting to appear lol, all taken with cheap (£10) close up filter set, and all hand held, must remember to take tripod with me.

Lovely mix of colour in that set.

A quick stop at the farm on the way home (where I metal detect)

The Plough has been hard at it.


Taken from behind with the smartphone, quite like the way this came out.


And then a quick walk locally before tea time.

What a great catch right in the doorway as well.

Flowers from my mothers funeral now on display in church. I'm hoping they survive long enough for the lilies to open.

Not my photo! My son's

In the past people have said he has an eye for interesting angles, and for some reason I liked this one he took at school today.

Mainly because it is obvious what it is, but the angles confuse the brain (yes, I do still have one or two grey cells )

 

[Carpy2001]

First time using manual focus. With my bad eyes lol.

I like the way you are experimenting, and to me you are heading in the right direction

 

[Carpy2001]

Thanks that means a lot.

Something different about the light at this time of year, just experimenting with the cameras B&W modes compared to changing a colour shot

I prefer the cameras, which to me says I need to learn to do better with conversions!

Lots of fishermen about on the rocks

Whilst walking a new bit of the Wyre Forest with my dogs I came across this old Yew ( not sure if it is old as it's quite small compared to others I have seen)

Early morning walk. Heard a fox run past behind me and just about managed to focus..



Some deer came right up close in front of me, but clearly they didn't see me. I had to zoom right out to 100mm!!!
