Nice bit of lichen. Moves at the right speed to photograph.

Re: Background

Yes, I don't like things that move too fast.


That's why I'd have Tom Paine Rights of Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia as background ....


... okay, I haven't figured out how to do moving script so just have a huge cluster of orange ladybirds Halyzia sedecimguttata - predictable, perhaps?

Re: Background

Mine's just plain old purple

I used to put a picture or two of mine but then I realised that I never actually saw it when I was sat at the puter so what was the point!

I prefer the pale blue screen. Calming and gives a sense of correct colour balance before editing photos.

Think it looks sophisticated and professional. But I could be wrong; it might just mean boring!

With the Steve Tilston song to go along with it?!

I've actually got a lovely Siskin shot that I 'nicked' from the gallery here! Is that allowed?! It's a beauty though. Can't remember whose it was now though, oops!

Mine is a Red Kite. The best photo I have taken of one so far. Always hoping for a better shot.

A Roe deer buck which is in my opinion the best I have ever taken (or more importantly the only one that has come out really sharp)!

I'm sure it's okay. Any commercial use or posting to other web sites would obviously be frowned upon but just using it as your screen background shouldn't be a problem. If we weren't prepared to accept that we'd be very silly to upload them in the first place. If it was one of mine I'd be really flattered!

HA. That's nice to know, because I've just checked and it's this one...



Turns out, it was one of yours Dave!!! I thought it might have been, but I wasn't sure! I nearly used one that Roger (Ollie) had taken, but I haven't had a Siskin in the garden yet this year and liked this shot when I was browsing the gallery. Glad you don't mind I will continue to strive to get a shot of my own that I'm happy enough to use of course, but I'm constantly blown away by the quality of some of the images on here Thanks again!
