great - set your camera to Burst, sit in a hide.... and wait 20 years till something that good happens.

Or

Put a load of aber's in a field , set your camera to Burst, sit in a hide , wait a couple of minutes till something that good happens

Or go to a reserve en masse when a rarity turns up. Constantly chatter about F stops, exposures and how much the photographic equipment cost you and generally annoy other birdwatchers... Bird photographers are becoming a nuisance!

[Baldric]

Why the negativity?
It's a few very good Pictures taken in what appears to be a very uncongested Game Reserve.

Thank you Baldric, those pictures are amazing.

It's just a shame that those photos happen to be on the Sun website. What a load of sensationalist rubbish.

I wish I hadn't looked now.

[Lie-in King]

Brilliant shots! Thanks, Baldric :-)

Ok, I'll fess up, I don't read the Sun, not since the edition headlined 'We Support Tony' it lost the little cred. it had on that day. Someone emailed me the link and I thought it was well worth sharing.

[Tashi]

Oi stop logging into my Pooter will ya woman!

[pixie374]

Lol. Tashi is the doc? X

[Baldric]

You just can't get the lodgers can you?

[pixie374]

...or the hackers :-)

Going to have to take my nice comfy chair with me when I have a wander outside with Roger in future, although I suppose taking the lappy would be easier ;o)
