One legged black headed gull

Black headed gull gave me something to look at whilst I was sitting in my car having some lunch out of the rain.

I scored 4 but now my vision is blurry from staring at my monitor too hard. staring at my monitor too hard.

How a roe deer goes from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Entry #3

@Blacktop, I think the OP might have been using Amazon.co.uk prices, the Tamron 90mm VC is £349 on there.

Congratulations on your new acquisitions @Fortkentdad It would be interesting to see some test shots of the same subject both with and without the TC. If you do feel inclined to do this and get the chance, I'd be very interested to see the RAW files. Looking forward to seeing more real world...

Painted Lady on gorse. I thought this lens would be good for butterflies but this was the first time I could try it out. It's nice not to have to get too close and risk them flying off. Which is better, 1st or 2nd? I can't quite decide.

Entry 2: This Hare thinks it is hidden but is quite clearly in plain sight!

One of my next door neighbours semi feral cats. This one's pregnant so there'll be even more of them soon, no wonder I don't get many birds in the garden.

I was just experimenting with different apertures etc. on this collared dove whilst I was waiting for something more interesting to show up. At f/11 from this shot: I got this:

I was trying to photograph some bees in my garden this afternoon but they all must have been camera shy, so I snapped this poppy instead.

This was one of those great moments to capture when you wish you were half the distance away and had beautiful golden hour light. As it is, high iso (edit: not as high iso as I thought but still not ideal) and big crop but I still really like this photo.

Here's another couple I like taken with the 18-55mm. Milford Sound area NZ.

I took this one near Queenstown with 18-55mm kit lens (older non VR version). I don't like this lens but it can get good results. I think the newer VR versions are better. I'd like to get the 18-140 though as a replacement.

Have you ever seen a hares tongue?

Here is a 1:1 crop (is that the same as 100% crop? It matches 1:1 in lightroom) SOOC, just imported into lightroom and then exported longest edge 1000pixels, 72ppi. No sharpening or post processing has been done.

A few more from the 200-500mm, this time of one of the Uk's most magical creatures, the Brown Hare.
