Great shots Brian, and a DIF shot to go as well.
#1 is stunning.

Thanks for the comments everyone- much appreciated

macro-junkie- because the codes are interpreted if I post them here or in a PM, pm me an email- address and I will send you an example code. I just have a text file on my desktop that I copy and paste the pic urls into when I'm doing it.

Yep, it's a southern hawker male. He got a bit shy in shot three and looked away. Great set Brian and I'm envious of the inflight shot.

great panorama, maybe 200mm better for flight shots?

Superb as always Brian.

The panorama is my favourite, closely followed by the DIF.

Thanks again for the kind comments everyone
RM- think you are right re the 200mm for DF's in flight- just couldn't resist trying just with the sigma 105 though as the DF was making regular trips around the pond and landing in approximately the same place.
