You've got some awesome photos there lynne ..you take great wildlife shots. That's a scary eye... Shame you couldn't have got the lens in place of the pupil...

Thanks Kev....soon as I saw the shot on the puter I thought...should've got the lens as the pupil...was having enough difficulty gettin the focus right though :bonk:

Hi Lynne,

I don't think I have managed to comment on yours yet. There is a really good selection of subject matter. I love the water droplet and the reflections in number 11.

Well done for your birds in flight. I have never mastered these.

I know about focus though... One of 52s is of my eye...and balancing adjusting the focusing. Keeping eye in place and looking at a laptop so I could see the effect of turning my ring was...its a had... And as I found a hot one as I used a workshop lamp for lighting... :thumbs:
