Great start

Could have had some beauties on the way home from work tonight driving along the South Deeside Road, alas no camera.

"hmmmmm........Lunch"

Yes I believe that is what this cheetah was saying when I took this,
it was less than 6ft away & nothing between us.

Taken a few weeks ago from the top of Oxen Craig. The day after the clocks went back.

Hi Matt,

Long time no hear.

Nice photo BUT.......

Who is Oxen Craig? and why were you on top of him?

What was that film again? Backpack Mountain?

Matt

that's possibly a nice pic but you need to re size and make it more forum friendly.

Iain let he who is without sin cast the first stone. That olive pic....nice enough but what was it wearing on its fore legs that you had to cut out? Little pink booties?

Good capture Alex

it wasn't planning on lunching on you though was it? Were you dragging a burger behind you?

Hi Noel

No I was standing still as it walked past me & lay down in the long grass.

No point running....it can run faster than me

Alex,
I was going to list someother things that could most likely run faster than you but it was probably insensitive so I opted to refrain.

Irene,

I've been somewhat absent from the forum it is true. Even more shockingly I've not even tied a fly for next year yet!

Oxen Craig is the highest point on the Bennachie Massif. And I was there with the wife....

Noel - I did try but it's three photos stitched together to make a panorama (oooooooh get me being all arty

) so it doesn't fit on the forum well. If Mike or H fancy re-sizing it to make it better then go ahead.

Is there a novice section for your entry Noel?

Cheers

Matt

Another Day another Sunset

Alex

« **Reply #19 on:** 18/12/2011 at 15:51 »

I did a couple today with my new lens, lots to learn yet, but interesting effects and the detail seems to be pretty awesome.
once i get the balance right, i think i'm going to be friends with this one

Sandy

« **Reply #20 on:** 21/12/2011 at 23:18 »

Looking good Sandy

« **Reply #21 on:** 24/12/2011 at 10:07 »

Still messing with the lighting but here is a Hydropsyche style caddis

Might be time to try an SBS

Sandy

« **Reply #22 on:** 24/12/2011 at 11:56 »

Great detail in that one Sandy, that lens is really working

Cheers

Where is that Alex? Nice picture too.

One from yesterday's adventure, Corrie an t-sneachda

And one from playing about with the new camera I got for Christmas:

I can't really take any credit for that one because I just followed the instructions on how to get a shot like that and continued shooting until I got it.

Cheers

Matt
