The Photography Thread

It's lovely seeing them with the grebelets (?) on their backs - used to watch them at Attenborough nature reserve near Nottingham many years ago.

What camera/lens were you using?

Is that what they're called? I think I could be forgiven for not knowing the official name for them seeing as we don't normally get them round here

Anyway I used a 24 year old 300mm Minolta lens on a Sony a330.

The trick is to put it on multi shot and don't let go of the shutter button, you are bound to get at least one good shot out of a few hundred.

Out near Farnborough - the village in the Berkshire Downs, not the town:-

That's a really nice photo, did you know you were holding your pencil in front of the lens though?

Took this picture on Saturday as I rode through Rutland. I know we've already had a nice poppy picture from @ianrauk but I couldn't resist.
