    UK Members ... Met

    "It's a five mile walk ..."
    So why did it take us 5 hours ?

    Well we hadn't got 100 yards before we detoured into the church.
    Which gets me the first "action" shot as Roger laid down in the aisle ... you have to wait to see his view of the church.

    Re: UK Members ... Met

    Mike called the clouds "Simpsons clouds" a nice description.
    I don't think the silhouette works, on reflection.
    Yes, I know it's not normal to photograph a flower from behind, who says I'm normal ?

    Sometimes the eye and the vision of the image exceeds the talent to capture it.

    Re: UK Members ... Met

    So there was Roger saying he'd never get a photo of a Dragonfly.
    Then one posed for us !
    So after I snapped these I lent him my set of extension tubes.
    I think he may be a convert.

    Oh and I think I captured a female Aeshna mixta here.

    Wow Paul!

    Looks like a great time.

    Is that Mike's church?
    Awesome shots Paul! Thank you so much for posting them. I can't wait to see what Mike and Roger captured

    Alison .. no this is not my church. Mine is a 1930s town church. This is an ancient village one. Three from the church: The door with it's lovely textures, one of the (quite a few!) stained glass panels - this one done up as a triptych, and Paul and Roger comparing histograms (as one does!)

    Cheers

    And three more! A nice reflected image in a pond, a farmer hard at work, and some wire wrapped around a tree-trunk.

    It was a great day out .. blessed by good weather, and better company. Paul said "This is the most fun I've had for ages" ... and I concur!! Thanks especially to Roger who organised it all so well.

    Cheers
    Mike

    Re: UK Members ... Met

    Last three for the time being ....

    Another scene in the church - I had to borrow Paul's mini tripod for this one. I think we all did variations on this theme. Paul loaded down - I thought he looked like one of those Hindu statues of Kali here And part of a rotten tree trunk (this is what I was doing in the last picture of the second post!)

    Cheers
    Mike

    Great shots of Paul and Roger! I think I would have been a little out of place with you 3 wouldn't I?
    Or would that have been you Mike? I'm a Canon shooter too

    C'mon Roger! I'm impatient to see what you got! :thumbsup:

    Love the omni light behind the cross.
    And, wow! Paul! You seriously did bring plenty to play with didn't you?!

    Re: UK Members ... Met

    I just picked up the bag that is always packed for sports.
    Plus the 20D with the 10-22 for some shots I wouldn't normally try.

    The cross was taken only with the lights in the room.
    I decided to use 1600 iso and no tripod, and slightly different angles.
    Oh and I left the WB on daylight, which I think adds to the atmosphere.

    We saw lots of things differently, and I personally got a lot out of Roger and Mike's opinions.
    So before anyone comments, I've tweaked it in LR, I think I improved it

    Alison,

    Got home last night and had to sort Beccy's laptop and printer out and then help with the packing for her to go to Uni this morning. Finished at 0300 this morning.

    Arrived at Roehampton at 0930 and I am still in Roehampton setting up her computer which means I haven't uploaded all my pics yet. Only 4Gb to upload which will start tonight. So once I get home I will finish uploading the photos and start posting.

    You would have fitted in well - New Canon Camera and all

    Sorry to here about the card - Just saw the news about the clone - do clones take as good a portrait

    Will be setting a meeting up for November? any one ok for that - Mike's daughter's wedding (Mike's having a nightmare reading this bit) or soon after. Mike suggested Barnes Wildlife which is just down the road from where I am, any other suggestions please post me an e-mail or message.

    Roger

    Pushing it here, the Panasonic LZ5 handheld at 1/6
    Of course it's noisy at ISO 200, but I'm surprised even 1 of the 6 I tried came out OK.

    An auspicious start to the day ?
    Spotted this before I walked back to the pub for a cup of coffee with Mike and Roger.

    Another pond, more reflections.
    We must go back when those lilies are in flower.
