On my way I came past these so stopped and took a few quick snaps on my compact and it was Bloody freezing aswell so they are rushed

[Andi-B]

Got another .. Who says you can't find it close to home?

 

[JoelDee]

Some cool pics here I might have a go, I know a great spot near me

 

[planetx]

I did promise a Kingfisher
trust me to go out with the wrong lense!!!

tomorrow perhaps..

 

[BoomOne]

that last pic is awesome

 

[planetx]

does not fit the bill though...

 

[MaLicE]

i got a shoot on the weekend or next week with some tiger cubs lol... not sure if that fits though lol

 

[dandycaptain]

does not fit the bill though...

I see what you did there....:rasp:

 

[planetx]

he he he

 

[Marky_]

2nd shot is very cool

 

[Just Bob]

Wrong lense? Couldn't tell the difference myself.
2 great photos. Potential winner?

Bob

 

[planetx]

here more I did this afternoon......sat all prepared for Kingfishers and a bloody Barn owl landed near me.
Before anyone says something like..."it looks like a Falconry centre shot"
I can prove it isn't....
Bob these were all taken at Iden Lock....take you there sometime if you like....be my witness.
Again I know they don't quite fit the script...but it is wildlife...

Then Mr and Mrs Kingfisher came along......oh and the Neighbour Mr Wren.

And here is something slighlty closer to the script and something i have only ever seen in Kent...Swans eating stuff in fields

 

[Brown.]

^^thats defo what i had in mind!!! Very lucky to have kingfishers as well!!! i havent even had time to get out yet stupid work lol

 

[planetx]

I have been sneaking away each afternoon do some work for myself.....I am doing a project on Kingfishers.
Although the weather is poo at the moment....you get some nice light in the afternoons.

lady of night

 

[Lagerlout]

I'm pretty sure it involves cameras -- Stunning work planetx!

Still not had chance myself yet.... I had a shot in mind, then remembered they actually flattened the power station I was intending to use as a backdrop about two years ago LOL

lady of night

and i thought it was only walsall ladies that utilize that tactic!

 

[planetx]

yeah it does involve night work...lots of.
Designed to keep you safe in the knowledge that you know you can sleep at night...just after mummy has tucked you in.

 

[mace¬]

I'm going to take a guess that you work as military surveilance or reconnisence (however you spell it).

But you've got some serious photo skills.

[Chili Red]

That barn owl is absolutely awesome - great pics planetx

 

[planetx]

it was just by chance that it landed near me....shame it does not fit the script hey!!!!!

 

[Andy.]

I was bored yesterday so went for a drive around to see what I could find, which was not very much. Wildlife is pretty much ducks and swans around here, and it is not too easy to find either near anything idustrial.

The closest I came was the below... a bird sat on the train power line....

1/30 | F22 | ISO 250 | Canon 40D & 24-105 F4L IS | Small amount of PP in CS2

The bird in question:

 

[Hazza]

Mine

 

[Brown.]

wtf is that haz ^^ lol

My two entries: Erm...

p.s these are my first ever DSLr shots, im sure modern industry and algae infested footballs are linked

 

[Marky_]

^Lol.

Continuing the trend of shockingly tenuous links between industry and animals, here is my effort.

Bit of explanation:

My idea was simple - get a picture of an animal and a building

I even managed to luck into getting a plane in frame too (i think. Hard to tell really), which i didn't even notice until i got it into PS to mess with the contrast

Not easy to get close enough for pics of any animals with a compact cam

My two entries: Erm...

p.s these are my first ever DSLr shots, im sure modern industry and algae infested footballs are linked

If you ask me thats a a very close link with industry, as the structure of carbon is what is called buckminsterfullerine the molecules are held together in the same structure as football, a combination of pentagons and hexagons. These are the molecule structures that are found in soot from factories!! so that football, has some close links with industry! and the algae............. well that speaks for itself!!

 

[B5 BDJ]

some really nice pictures of wildlife!

 

[ukaskew]

All done on this one then, I failed miserably!

I will get a poll up for this in the morning before work so we can get a new comp started ready for Easter weekend.
