Nick,

They are terrific. Lovely and sharp and focused nicely on the eyes.

Nicely done.

Lovely shots Nick. I especially like your second Blue Tit, nice pose and nicely sharp too. It is also surprising how well photos taken through glass come out, too. I have one or two goodies taken though double glazing.
I have been frustrated recently due to not being able to take a decent shot to save my life, until I went to the New Forest last week with a group of bird photographer friends and got some good pics in decent light.

Fantastic set of pics there young Nick! Well done you for sticking with it and not letting your earlier disappointment put you off. Like Roger said, for being taken through glass these are outstanding. Have a Mrs Fish cake to celebrate...

Nice set of pics it's good when everything falls in place and you get some good shots.

Keep up the good work

At long last the light arrived yesterday and coincided with our day off and we took advantage and had an extreme amount of luck - just for a change

After much looking at weather forecasts - which all said wall to wall sunlight by 9am in north Wales off we went..... we were still driving as 9am came and went and no sign of light - another bum day we began to think. Supposedly we were going to Ross first for the purple sandpipers but I got a burst of intuition and headed straight for the Spinnies ......... from the min we got in the hide and sat down it was all action - and it carried on like that all morning! I had such a good time I can hardly believe it! I put my brand new 2 gig card in - and filled it ........ What?!! 583 images to go thro.... oh boy........ I put a second card in and shot a further 173 ........

















The light arrived and stayed - and got just too brassy by dinnertime - what a shame! We moved off to Llanberris as two photographers arrived as we were leaving and told us about the goosanders coming for bread with the general mallard mix! Thanks guys - was well worth the 20 drive inland. Unfortunately the sun was only 20 mins off going behind the mountains and the wind was vicious - flat calm for a reflection would be the thing here - and I think we will be back next weekend as I feel some better shots could be extracted from this place!!

Faith restored - equipment not going in the bin ......... as if!

For some reason (probably shock and sudden inability to take pics in bright sunny weather!) but all these have come up on this website as quite dark - they are ok on my monitor - so I have taken them all back thro curves and gamma and lightened them all a touch before putting these and more onto my own website .......... I just need to practice more in good sunlight

They are a lovely series of images Pauline, plus you've got a famous standard to sustain! Well and truly sustained here!
