good shot, i like it. Has it got a in flight refuelling nozzle?

It does, although sadly won't be used any more. Thanks too

I'm in a muddle, can't choose what body to go for, 60D, 70D or 7D? Was going to go for the 6D but have decided on a 1.6 body.

Still have my 7D for sale Radders.........(haven​'t actually advertised it anywhere yet!)
Boxed with all the "case-candy" and yours for £650.

Goes on general sale tomorrow so let me know. If time is an issue, I'm willing to hold it for you for a couple of weeks if that helps.

Just to let people know, will be selling everything in my sig plus an older 28-70 Sigma f2.8 and NOT the 5D3 as of tomorrow.

Anyone interested I'll do a deal for you folks before I put it on the FS page.

Also.......Looking for a used Canon "L" 24-105 or 24-70 and a 70-200 f2.8 Mk2IS and a TC.

All are boxed and perfect except the older lens that's well used but works VERY well and is optically fine.
PM me for prices.

A few "new" ones from Skomer

I've bitten the bullet and bought a Canon 60D today with 3.4k clicks on, so next stop is a 400mm f/5.6 or 300mm f/4 Thanks for the offer though.

Ian, love the fighting Puffin pics

here is an outtake as it was the first frame I took after swinging the 500mm round after hearing a rumble starting up

Went to Bristol today, overcast still playing the images, I try a it of HDR 3 shots hand held processed in PS and the tweaked in LR

Good shot Ian. Voted as well.

I just did a re edit of a shot I took last year. I would appreciate opinions on whether the crop and PP work better on the 2nd image. Thanks!

For the sake of completeness, here's the edit with just the crop and no PP.

morning folks,

I think the crop works, I just can't decide whether I prefer the version with the PP or not, I think I like how the treatment works on the elephant, but I think I like the un PPed version for the foliage, either way it's a great shot of a beautiful animal!

Same here, PP works for the elephant but makes the foliage look flat and dull (at least it does on my screen). Crop is spot on.
