  1. I have no astronomical equipment so I'm never going to get great shots, these shots of Jupiter and Moons were taken from my back garden with my Panasonic DMC FZ2000 camera alone. I also have street lighting to contend with which doesn't help.
  2. I have never seen an Aurora... well done you!
  3. I have not yet ventured out with my cameras, my wife's funeral is tomorrow and I am hoping to get started on my new life shortly. I have not felt like doing much since I lost her. I have posted this image before in the distant past but I don't really want to return to the forum and post nothing.
  4. Cracking shots... well captured! ...
  5. I took this shot in the Elan Valley in Mid Wales some years ago, I am hoping I will get out with my cameras again soon, It's been a long time since I did that due to looking after my wife through her long fight with cancer. I am really missing her, I hope the turning point will come following her funeral on Tuesday, maybe then I will start to pick myself up and move forward.
  6. Good capture... In more ways than one...
  7. This is another place near to me (11 miles) that I have not visited, I could never afford a Morgan so maybe I wouldn't be welcome...
  8. This is a nice capture but there seems to be a blue cast... maybe it's my monitor.
  9. Considering Monmouth is not that far from me it's not a place I have visited much, these are nice shots. I must try and go there sometime.
  10. This is my lovely Pammy age 19 (1970) on Fistral beach at Newquay in Cornwall, it is another copied colour slide. We married a year later, it's so hard losing her.
  11. I took this iPhone shot of my wife Pam back last summer, she was in the middle of her 15 month battle with cancer. Sadly she was taken away from me on March 6th, I am missing her so much.
  12. Very nice images Craig, I had two Red Kites and a Buzzard circling over my bungalow a couple of days ago, I do get the odd Buzzard overhead but I've only ever seen a Red Kite once before. Like you I have been forced to take a long break from the forum due to my wife being so ill, sadly she died on Wednesday evening. I have not used my cameras for over a year, I will have to learn to take photos again as I have pretty much forgot how to use my cameras.

    Hello.

    Thank you both! My wife Pamela died at 9.30pm on Wednesday. I have been her full time carer for nearly 15 months. During this time besides looking after her at home I drove her to the QE Hospital in Birmingham 53 times (100 miles round trip each time) for treatment and scans.

    Hello.

    This is just a short post to say I am sorry about my extremely long absence from the forum. I will explain in more detail later. I have been caring for my wife for 14 months, she has terminal cancer and she went into a hospice yesterday and is expected to pass away very soon... possibly today! So goodbye for now I will be back in a few days... Hopefully! Regards, John.
  15. Thanks Cheryl & Polly! Cheryl... The eclipse started just after 10am and peaked just before 11am, it ended at about 11:50am. I took 51 shots which was far more than I needed... I've never been known for doing anything without going over the top... I used a home made filter using solar photographic sheet cut to fit into a filter ring with the glass removed. Proper filters are too expensive and would not get much use.

    Panasonic DMC-FZ2000.
  17. Brilliant captures Paul... Not my favourite insect but they don't bother me!
  18. I think I have the correct ID. Anyway it's very young and it seemed to like the Begonias in my garden, I'm not sure if No5 is the same species, that one was also on a Begonia plant, it looks more mature than the other one. if anyone would like to do a positive ID... feel free! Panasonic DMC-FZ2000.
  19. In order to take part in the forum I sometimes have post something from my files as getting out in not so easy right now. Here's an oldie from my files.
