Well caught, they are very quick

Many thanks.

Had a couple of hours yesterday trying to get these swallows flying around, wouldn`t be so bad if they flew straight but they zig zag all over the place.

Anyway these are the best i could get out of about 100 shots. I definately need more practice.

Stunning image, wow.

I really like these. I haven't had a chance to get out and take any blossom shots this year.

Thanks Kerry, the cherry tree is right next to my holiday lodge so only had to step outside.

It's a single image taken with my Panasonic DMC FZ2000 camera at f5.6, exposure comp -2 step, ISO 125, 1/160sec, full zoom at 960mm, used a tripod. I also cropped the image and did some slight editing.

Thanks for that John, 960 mm thats an impressive zoom nearly the same as the 1000mm focal length on my scope. No wonder your images are very similar to mine.

Nice pics really love the first two

Another great image. Is this a single image or do you stack a number of images ?

Great!  I like taking Moon shots. I only have my camera though.. No telescope to fit the camera on.

Thanks John, been a while since i have used my telescope its getting a bit to big and heavy for me to lug outside and setup.

Nice set, do like the silhouette`s of the knights in the upper windows in the 2nd one. Also noticed a couple of pubs in there, where you on a pub crawl.

A lot of detail in there, lovely shot.

Dug out a couple of my old moon pics. Both taken through an 8inch reflecting telescope at prime focus, so 1000mm at f5.

Nice, the water drops make it look much better.

Beautiful shots.

Nice, love the light glittering on the water.

Love the vibrant colours in the 2nd shot, nice one.

nice shots, love the shadow of the eye stalks in the first one.

I love misty mornings, nicely caught.

Nice shots, can`t wait to get my macro gear out when the weather warms up a bit more.

Nice shot, is this sitting on a nest ?

Lovely image.

Lot of colour and detail, nicely done.

Lovely clear eye, nice.

If you place a road kill on a fence post and just wait, you'll get them soon enough.  Then you'll really see how massive their wingspan is.

looks like i will have to keep a couple of bin bags in the car then
