Re: Today in pictures
 

I sometimes wish I could transport myself......the way they used to do on Star Trek.
I would love a half hour( a female half hour that is) run around there.......and I would not stop to look at or sample the food and drink......my time would be spent aiming my lens.

I would also transport myself to some of the places that Dianne shows us. I would be in my element, delirious with delight.

Not taken today, but created today.

Re: Today in pictures
 

You been down accy today?

Re: Today in pictures
 

There was a load of motorbikes in Broadway when I went down at 11.30.

Re: Today in pictures
 

No Frank. This is a picture I took yesterday. I can think of no earthly reason to venture into Accy on a Sunday...himself went and told me about the bikes.
I wouldn't go out of my way to photograph them...yesterday I just snapped them because they were there. Motorbikes are a 'boy' thing.

Re: Today in pictures
 

I wouldn't normally venture out down Broadway on a Sunday, but I had a hearing appointment at specsavers

Re: Today in pictures
 

More pics that were taken yesterday but have been meddled with today.
1) Family enjoying the warm sunshine on the green space of Lord Street.
2) Toddler playing at the end of the pier.
3) Blackpool Tower. Taken from the end of the pier.

I was a bit disappointed with the picture of the tower......Having said that, I personally could not see the tower at all until I tried to photograph it....and even then it was hazy.

Re: Today in pictures
 

the Gas rig, (off shore) came out better than the tower.

Nice pic of chips and gravy ... Over here we have taken this delicacy to a new level:

Today in Pictures, almost the same scenario as yesterday, shirt sleeves.....then ending up with wet knickers.


1.Heading down to the river, a favourite walk, but only when time can be elastic as I get lost in my hobby.
2. If I sit down there my jacksie will be on the floor.
3. The green to the horizon is a welcome change from a winter of brown.
4. I carry my boat all this way...just to find it has a hole in......so that is the wet knickers part. (River Calder)
5. Its a blue damselfly Banded Demoiselle | british-dragonflies.org.uk
6. Heading upstream.
7. The turning point of the journey today, Cock Bridge.
8. This view is seconds from the main road.
9. Nuts.....Beech nuts to be specific.
10. A first for me, recently fledged. It has started to rain, hence the wet feathers

Good spot No. 10, I`m yet to see one in the wild. Blends well into the tree.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Todays pics were just some test shots, trying out a different auto-focus setting (only usually use AF for landies)

1. I think she`s getting fed up sitting there all day.
2 & 3. A Thrush
4. Droplets in a flower.
5. Back to manual focus, AF couldn`t find this squirrel.:rolleyes:
6. A few seconds earlier, their heads and necks made a love heart shape.
7. Low light means the pics get a bit noisey.
8. Oh Oh, this little ones fell down the waterfall and can`t get back up.
9. All alone.
10. Mum`s here to save the day.

Re: Today in pictures
 

There were two young as I could see, but one ran into the nettles and the parent flew off, I have photographed this tree dozens of times not realising that it was a nesting tree for Owls, so I wouldn't say a good spot, more eventually !

Re: Today in pictures
 

I'm jealous,Dave .Love no 10

Re: Today in pictures
 

There was no skill involved it was just there, but I was a bit pleased with myself after taking a few snaps.
