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

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?  :X2

Matt :z16 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?

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.   :z4 :z7

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!   :oops

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

Matt :z16 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?

Noel - I did try but it's three photos stitched together to make a panorama (oooooooh get me being all arty  :z7) 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?  :z7

Cheers

Matt

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 :z3

Where is that Alex?  Nice picture too.

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

(http://i43.tinypic.com/2ryhyfc.jpg)

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
