Hi Biza43
Both those images are breathtaking, not only is the scenery great but also the subject in the nest!
Looking forward to seeing the hatched chicks.
Nicely done.
The 70-300 seems to do a very good job, have you thought of adding the 1.4tc if you need reach without the weight of the 100-400?
Cheers
Paul
Was intrigued in this sequence of images, by the synchronicity of this black swan pair flying in for a landing on the lake.
I just wonder how they manage to match the other's stroke.
I guess it's a common thing in flocking birds
Just a marvel of nature I suppose.
Cheers
Paul
Number 1 is really good.
Thanks Paul. My past experiences with converters (granted, not with Fuji) have not been positive. But I have thought about it.
Thanks, Bob.
I do recall a discussion a few years ago on the "other" site relating to the inconsistent naming conventions of birds on opposite sides of the pond.
These common buzzards are very widespread here - increasingly so.
They appear to do a lot of hanging about and are sometimes referred to as Fence Eagles :)
Regards,
Joe.
I find it mesmerising!
An impressionistic capture of the rainy weather vibe: as if the droplets of water on the glass make up a snapshot of the downpour beyond - could it be a poetic image of slowing down, capturing the time itself?....if it were a weekend I'd have reached for Dostoevsky; if work hours, an occasional glance through shall cool down & help shaping my thoughts better.
Long story short - I'd stay inside too. =)
Whereas I’d be donning my oilskins, downeaster, and wellies. I’m not made of sugar. (Rules 9 and 5 apply.)
;)
Thank Paulo!
Made in HK....
Which is (are) your favorite(s)

Wrong thread, apologies,mods are aware Bob
Jacob, these are all good but this sunset deserves a large print and a prominent place in your house or wherever you want to put it.
Bob
No problem. In the intro to the Weekly Thread I state members are welcome to post images from their other cams. Feel free to post them here.
Bob
Thx
Bob
In our part of the world - Oz/NZ - with its soft dirt we usually do not allow riding in the rain to prevent eroding MTB singletrack - purpose-built by us, mountain bikers.....often in the rain.
Oh.. and how about Rule 43?
Before Heading to Milan
A sit down for lunch at a local restaurant....... right in front of a store that sold everything lavender.... didn't ask if the bicycle was for sale.
Bob
Yeah, bicycles seem to be deeply rooted in Italian culture with its first known design found in manuscripts of great Leonardo!
Here is another one I could not resist to saddle up by a small restaurant in Marina di Pisa a previous winter - after an unfriendly remark made by a local Mafioso character, who is BTW not made of sugar also.. like some of us here. =)
Thanks Bob! Glad you liked it. It is a difficult spot to shoot from; it is very wet behind the waterfall and you have to constantly wipe the water off the lens...
I hope that you have recovered from your cold. It is a bummer when it happens to you on a trip like this (happened to me more than once...)

We have the same rules here —but there’s plenty of gravel. Not to mention non-cycling opportunities.
