Yesterday I took this Pano
But I could not get it to stich together correctly, so I spent sometime on it tonight.
This one is a bit better

very clever stuff!

Pete, best wishes to you and your better half, hope things progress ok.

great woodpecker shot Ian and as said the kingfisher is still a good shot.

Been to Disney on Ice at Wembley stadium today, adn then dinner at Ikea

Hopefully going to watch a friend race at brands hatch tomorrow weather permitting.

Some super shots here in the last day or so. Love the WW2 pics, great Stranglers pics. LOVE the woodpecker - and I think the Kingfisher is great even though it's not quite what you wanted. Nice fox through the fence too. Mum has some tame foxes - she can hand feed them - must go round there with my camera one day soon. No photos for me today, dog training all day - very successful day loads of huge improvements from some really difficult dogs.

I hope Mrs Pete improves soon.

If you need someone to carry your bag when you go visit the foxes let me know ....!!

Agree with the comments about the shots so far this weakened ... Great series Rob ... Lovely fox (and starling) Lee ... Loving the kf and green woodpecker too!

+1 on best wishes for Mrs Pete ... Take care of yourself so you can take care of her too ... And if you need any help with anything please shout!

When you have the right software, its not too bad
I just need to find some better locations, but that will be sorted later this month

Hi there guys, hope everyone is doing well.

Anothe great "Band of Brothers" set there!

I just wanted to let you guys know my wife is in hospital. It's nothing life threatening, but she'll be in there for a while to come. So, naturally, I'll be spending as much time as I can with her.

So, if you see any of my status updates on Facebook that might not make sense, they probably will now!!

Sending bestest wishes to you both, Pete.

All the other regulars were posing today at the BWC...

I tried to do something a little different here, as the Fox was so close to the fence...

These are great, Lee, not many people appreciate just how beautiful and colourful Starlings are. Great birds

Bit of a rush to get these edited in time for use by the group so i am not 100% happy with these ( need to work on halos and brights spots in many), but here is what i was working with last weekend.

Few from last night

It never ceases to amaze me how you nail the exposure on these type of shots in what must be awful lighting conditions. Excellent stuf and the KF shots were none too shabby either

Best wishes to Mrs Pete - sounds like she is in good hands. Which hospital? As Laurence said, look after yourself too, these times can be very stressful.

Thanks mate. She's in the John Radcliffe in Oxford. Even though I have a good private health plan through work, she's in the best place possible, and under the best care.

Cheers Jonathan, it was one of the worst lighting set ups I've had to deal with for a while.

I've put up full galleries of Duran and Stranglers at http://www.iesphotogra​phy.co.uk/blog/

Both great sets which have done an excellent job of reminding me how old I am

Morning all. Is anyone doing anything Photographic today? Its not very nice here, so im just going through my pics from Alexandra Park Hastings from yesterday.

Tis dreadful here, drizzly and misty. I'm off to walk the dogs then Homebase or BnQ to get some things to sort my new backdrops. Need to ask some lighting questions pls - currently only have a 430 ex, and it's doing the job well for me - but if I want the background lit brightly too, I'm gonna need a 2nd light aren't I. Should that be a continuous light or another flash? anyone got any advice or shall I go post on the lighting section

Do not forget that you need to look after yourself during and after she comes out of hospital..........root​ing for both of you.

Pete Ditto the above, remember you need to be in good health and mind to look after her, it is all to easy to forget yourself.

Nice shots, those kingfisher are very elusive, must have been something to see it with the fish
