Accrington Web - Today in pictures

[QUOTE=maxthecollie;1120435]A few of mine from Tockholes yesterday walking with 1 Golden Labrador, 1 Lurcher, 3 Springer Spaniels and 2 Border Collies.

I'm a sucker for dog and cat pictures ... however, #10 is bodacious:D

Thanks, no idea of the story, they were at the base of a tree and thought i`d take the pic. The Cormorant pics were a bit of a surprise as i`d forgotten to turn image stabalisation back on after using the tripod and they turned out sharper than i expected so i`ve been having a bit of an experiment today.

Wayoh res is a favourie walk of ours and the railway viaduct from that angle is one of my favourite pics. I have photographed that at various time of the year and everytime it is different.

Thanks Max, thought i`d straightened that pic, seems not, sloping to the left.:o

Really nice varied selection - some lovely effects you've applied too!

Thanks, a couple of long exposures, a bit of stacking and HDR.

You forgot to mention the ladies - I wondered how you managed to take photos and control all those dogs!

I walked with my Missus and three of our friends from Pendle Dog Agility Club. The lurcher is Max's girlfriend ,he has known her from a pup.

Yes, but higher up, if on opposite bank I'm sure it would have been scared away.

I was down that area myself this afternoon, 2.30 until about 4, the only birds I saw were pigeons as they flew away from someone with a shotgun.
