That's not real...you never see three Snowdrops in a line like that!

Saw my third species of the year today...a Brimstone flying across a London suburb High street!

I am sure a much better job can be done in photoshop than in camera. I just set everything to neutral in the camera (sharpening, saturation, contrast adjustments etc.) and then sort it out in photoshop. Ditto. Martin and Guinevere, what programmes do you use to make these pictures? Is this Photosho...

A Comma for me today...flying 20 feet up and doing about 28,000 mph!

Here's one straight from the camera...honest

I think manipulation is fine but it is very easy to go too far (I am guilty of this all too often!)

No chance today in Reading...cold and rain

Fascinating!

I had the pleasure of meeting Mathew Oats at Goose Green...it's a good job Robin (Turner ) was there, because I certainly wouldn't have known who he was otherwise.

I have the Sigma 12-24 DG HSM EX...it's a fine bit of kit.

If you need a guide, or someoe to carry your bag, just let me know

I could only stay long enough to see Roger's photos, but I was happy I went as they so good. He's fueled my enthusiasm for getting down to the south of France this summer no end!

Roger...lovely to meet you and your good lady

Martin.

Surley you mean an increase of 15%...

Today's the day if anyone's forgotten

That is one of the most visualy stunning images I've ever seen!

Martin.

Well I, for one, will be winging my way over there as soon as it opens (sooner if Pete can wangle a preview visit for UKB members )

Martin.

Excellent LTT Paul!

Pete, I had exactly the same thing with a Goldcrest this morning...managed to get a Robin though
