Simonside, Rothbury Northumberland. It's beautiful up there now with the heather in flower.

@Lee532 great shots and I especially like the one of the Swift, they're probably my favourite bird and very rapid well done getting that shot!

Brown Hare. This shot required a very rapid lens switch from the 35mm. Unfortunately that meant he was just about to disappear through an ugly gate by the time I was ready with the 70-300mm. Seconds earlier he was on a nice grassy verge. Maybe I could do with a 16-300 like wev...

2nd entry. Rowan berries.

My 1st entry.

Today I found some sort of weird horse zebra hybrid. A ZORSE!

A couple more from today.

I've been wanting to get a reasonable photo to post in this thread since I first joined the forum. Today I finally managed to get one. A small group of Greylag Geese. Unfortunately it's been a fairly dull day so I had to bump the ISO more than I'd have liked...

Here are a few of my landscape shots, all taken in Northumberland UK.

Here's a B&W version

A bit more like this?

So I wasn't able to get the shot I wanted for last weeks weekly challenge, as rain drove me back to my car before I could get up to the main Rothley Castle ruins. I managed to head back up there today and get a few shots. The lighting was a bit boring but I'm reasonably happy with some of the...

If like me you have the old non VR 18-55 then I'd look at upgrading to the latest VRII version as it seems pretty highly rated. I'm happy enough with my older 18-55 and really like the close focusing it offers. I've just picked a 35mm 1.8G lens as I wanted a sharp, fast prime that doesn't break...

I'm pretty lucky with the view I've got now, my last house overlooked an ASDA car park! These are both views from the front of my house.

So here's my first entry in any type of photo challenge. It part of a Castle ruins near Rothley, Northumberland, UK. I'd have liked to have got some more shots from more angles but I had to "abandon" shooting as there was a massive rain cloud headed my way, don't be fooled by the blue sky in the...

@RocketCowboy just figuring out how this tagging works...

I would imagine you probably can't go wrong with either, but I believe the Tamron offers better value for money. There were a couple of kittens in my garden this morning, presumably feral. Here is one picture I took of them, with a tight crop of the same image below. JPEG straight out of the...

I can't be of any help regarding a direct comparison but I have the Tamron and would recommend it to anyone. All my research suggested they were fairly equal, some saying the Tamron was sharper, others the Nikon. The VC on the Tamron is excellent, in a youtube video I watched recently, Matt...
