You did well with the tui, I have never managed to get a decent shot of one. I quite like the movement in the shag pic :D

I have a shot from years ago, with a fairly basic camera which, if taken with my current kit, would be great. But they seem to have a knack of hiding, even though there's plenty of them.

When ever I have shot tui, the light has not been right and they come out looking black all over.

Pretty much the same here. Always shooting against the bright sky I guess. I did fiddle with that a bit to bring up the colour - mainly shadows etc

THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

Yeah it has been nice weather, but to my mind, rather cool. However, we have just passed our longest day so from here on it gets hotter, for a while anyway.

Up and down here, certainly inconsistent for this time of year. However I have given up on having consistent seasonal weather, as it dowsn not seem to have happened really for the last few years. In saying that I remember snow briefly one Christmas Day many years ago in Greytown. Melted as soon as it hit the ground of course.

No - but am looking at a vintage Rokkor 200mm f/3.5 lens .... just waiting for a reply. I think it US$39, but not sure about postage. Might be a killer.

If you haven't bought L glass, you might like vintage :-)
