Dave's 365

great shot, the HC is very close to me, been there a few times, just wish I had a lens to do the place justice.
 
A lovely original shot for day 86, I like the use of shallow DOF.
The eagle shot is striking.

89/365 - After photo overload yesterday (400 shots :eek:) just a simple grab shot from the garden today. Shot with my Sigma 18-50 Macro - I love this lens!

90/365 - The very rare Mickey Mouse Flower! :D I love it now the lighter evenings are here. Quite often when I get home from work I put the kettle on, grab my camera and have a mooch in the garden with the macro lens. I find it very relaxing after a full day's work and a hour drive home, so you can expect to see a lot more macro shots of flowers (sorry Fabs!) and bugs in my 365 :lol:

91/365 - Bursledon Windmill. This is only just up the road from me but I only discovered it last year (been living here for 10 years!). Wanted to get a nice sunset behind it but its such a tight spot I could only get it all in with the Sigma 10-20mm at 12mm!

Catch up time lots of reading done there gotta say Dave your shots are getting better and better.

Day 76. Nice capture I love watching guys like this so much skill involved I think they remove the seat incase they come off the bike less chance of injury to the lower regions.

Day 78 Lovely colours and composition.

Day 79 Very atmospheric nice lighting

Day 82 Very impressive water drop love the reflection very well captured I have tried this a few times and they have all been crap.

Day 83 Love this shot has a very old world feel to it very nicely lit too

Day 84 Amazing capture very surreal love the colours and lighting, Im going to have to look into this some looks like theres some fun to be had.

Day 86 Cant put my fingere on it but theres something I really like about this shot.

Day 88 What a magnificent bird pin sharp and love the black background really makes him/her stand out.

Day 90 Nice DOF very well captured love my macro lens too going to have to start getting more use out of it again soon so expect lots of bug shots.

Thanks Chilli
 
Your floral shots are superb, nice choice of DOF too, the muscari one would be my favourite out of the 3. Unusual angle on the windmill.

93/365 - I was stuck for ideas today but saw these in the fridge and thought why not, I'll give JD some more 'Macro Goodness'!! :lol::lol:

94/365 - I saw some bluebells in the neighbours garden this morning so I thought I'd better check out the local bluebell woods. Alas they are not out yet but I did see this fungi growing on a fallen tree. I love the colours and pattern in this shot. :)

95/365 - I thought I'd give the macro shots a rest today so I went and explored the old part of Southampton. It surprised me how much history is left in Southampton. I'm born and bred so it goes to show we sometimes don't realise the wealth of riches on our own doorstep! Here's a shot of the Tudor House reflecting the modern architecture around it. This house was built in the late 1400's and I'm amazed it escaped being flattened by the bombing that destroyed most of the surrounding area during the war.
 
Awwww No macro?

I really like the way there is both the old and the new in this picture, it is true that you sometimes don't appreciate what is around you. Since I started, (only 10 months ago) I've began to realise how beautiful my wee country is, probably why I take so many scenic shots!! :D
