Great shots LordV. Great colors. Where these with your 105 sigma?

Nice images Brian. You are getting really beautiful results with you stacking.
Mine are still not much to be proud of.

Hiya Brian,

Excellent series of shots, the Stacking worked really well, were these Free Hand or Pole assisted ;) :lol:
I take it you've not got the same weather as me here, hells bells its been rough & getting rougher, guess it'll be looking for indoor shot for the next few days :evil: or maybe I'll leave a window open & see what calls in to dry off eh, ha that'll please Ami, not !! :lol:

Cheers for now

Every time I see new pics that you post, I say to myself "that are his best pics so far", but than the next time I say that again...and so it goes on!

Amazingly sharp!

Very Nice Shots.
Beautiful Eyes.

:)I'm glad you're attached Brian, we wouldn't see all these great pics.
Thanks, now I know what lense I'll go for when I change to SLR.
One thing I'll really miss is the flip monitor.

[John Ellis]

Terrific images as usual..........great detail....well done.
