A rather distant Stonechat sat on a wire fence. To be honest I didn't have much luck today...

[Clicker]

Oooo...I really like that Rye... Great use  of negative space ..and  super contrast of the sharp focus on the bird and the wire against the oof backdrop .. and the angle too ... Love it.

 Ok Beepy    is it especially significant ... the 62? or am I being really obtuse ...?

It's the chapter I had got to when I remembered I hadn't taken a photograph today. 

[Ryewolf]

Which chapter, which book? LOTR?

The Bible... Matthew 6:2: Thou shalt not post images of obscure numbers on forums, without full explanation - pretty sure it's a stoning offence in the Old Testament...

Thanks Clicker, to be honest all the birds tonight were being elusive and were all a long way off, and as soon as I tried to get closer they flew off, followed by lots of EXPLETIVE DELETED comments afterwards

It is odd  isn't it ... that despite doing this  it is so easy to forget ,,, the  next day comes around so quickly that I am sometimes convinced I  have  taken some  shots  only to realise later in the evening when I  go to post one that in fact it was the day before that I was thinking about ,,,The other day I spent all day with  'im indoors shovelling and spreading 5 ruddy tonnes of Forest of Dean  chippings on to the drive to freshen it up ... then  dashed over to the pond to take a nothing shot when I realised there was nowt in the camera for the day  ...Now I'm looking for the pic for the 5th ... maybe I've deleted It ...doh

By the way ...very oddly ....on my ipad Bp 's avatar is the current pic that Fuji  uses..everyting else is Beepy's info .!

I noticed it this morning ....and it's still the case ...but on my laptop it's the proper BP avatar....????

I think the worst part of the OADED Challenge is that now matter how many images you take on one day, its knowing you can't use them again and it's a completely fresh start the next day. One of the things that keeps pushing me forward are the numbers... today was Day 130 of the current year - so already past the 1/3rd mark, plus for eveyone who started in 2016 you're now on Day 496 (and the fact I haven't missed one day yet). Sunday 14th May should be Day 500.

But that said, there's shots and images I wouldn't have got not, had I not being doing the challenge. On the downside, I've now taken 60,000+ shots since I bought my camera in June 2014, so it probably needs a really, really good sensor clean.

I have taken pics every day but lost 8 days worth of images on a  64 GB card that got corrupted last May when I went to Monaco. I've tried everything to retrieve  them ; software etc  but to no avail...,  i f I dont post on time i easily lose them on the dozens of cards I seem to use ..as I said ...currently hunting for the 5th May pics ...grrrr

[Ryewolf]

There is a DOS program called TestDisk, to be honest it's not that easy to use, (and the distructions aren't that easy to follow) but it will recover files from lost or corrupted drives, I used it to recover data from a failed dive which Windows couldn't read, and I got back everything from the lost drive.

[Clicker]

I'll have a chat with you later about that then Rye...meanwhile  still lookig for the pics from the 5th ... arghhhh

Hahahahaha!!!

I'm reading Blasphemy by Douglas Preston.

 

We get Stonechats down on the coast and they are reet little buggers to get anywhere near to - your shot is a thousand times better than anything I've managed.

To be fair that must be slightly less frightening 

[Clicker]

Yeah .. You're right .. It is ....
