Anyone Fancy Northumberland?

[CanonChrissy]

Are we wearing some king of badge then?

[Ryewolf]

Well, I've made a badge so at least you'll be able to recognise me - hopefully.....

[Ryewolf]

I'm officially in holiday mode, everything packed and ready to go, though it's look more like I'm about to leave on a 6 month world tour rather than 6 days. I've got my Lowepro Flipside 400, which has got the sigma 150-600, Canon 100mm Macro, Canon 18-55mm, Canon 24-105mm L, 6 x 16gb memory cards, 3 fully charged batteries, the Canon 12 and 25 extension tubes, plus a whole bunch of other bits and pieces and filters, 2 tripods, a small Canon gadget bag with my Canon film camera, some films,  a 75-300mm lens and the Venus. There's a bag with my laptop and a whole bunch of chargers for camera batteries, mp3 player, phone and the laptop. Also got a mobile broadband dongle thingy....

An early start for me - 5am O_O, as I plan to be in Jedburgh before 9:00am for a visit to the abbey

[CanonChrissy]

Are you both called Geoff

[geodar]

seems so, it will be like an echo

geoff

[Ryewolf]

Yes, I'm called Geoff too.

[CanonChrissy]

I might just take 2 lenses and my monopod. And a camera obviously haha

[Ryewolf]

I've brought everything, as I wasn't sure what I need. I'm probably gonna be up again early to take a walk along the riverbank. I saw lots of birds on the river.

 

[CanonChrissy]

well thanks to ryewolf and geodar for a fab day today. Pity the sun didnt shine for us but it stayed dry. we will post our best images.

[Ryewolf]

Yes, it was great to meet you both, and a great day out on the Farne Islands.

[ChrisLumix]

Yep - the sun was firmly in the South today ... glad you enjoyed your day

It wont let me upload any more.....Can a mod do something? As I have said so many times, this is why I post few images here on this forum, it is SOOOO frustrating!

 

[Phil]

Chrissy, although the file size is fine the image dimensions of your puffin shot is way too big at 2880 x 1920. The recommended sizes are, 1000px wide for landscape orientated images, and 800px high for portrait.

I'm not sure if this is why you're unable to upload more but it's worth a try.

[CanonChrissy]

OK thanks. Will try pixelsize. Fingers crossed.

Puffin Portrait

 

[CanonChrissy]

Yay - problem posting images is now fixed!

[CanonChrissy]

Ryewolf we need to see yours

[Ryewolf]

The not so fluffy side of nature, taken at Seahouses about 30 mins before I went to meet up with Chrissy and Geoff. If you're a bit squeamish you might want to look away now...

 

 

 

[CanonChrissy]

Show me your puffins........

[EdwardL]

Enjoying these photos - great puffin shot, Chrissy.

Nice capture, RW and a well exposed shot too - presumably a duckling at the end of its days?

[Ryewolf]

It was indeed a duckling, not sure what kind. I had series of about 18 shots covering from when it snatched it to it finally swallowing it, it last maybe 15-20 seconds.

I'm just going through the Puffin shots.
