[YorkieBen]

nice capture of the heron, nice use of spot metering for the exposure

Bobster that shot of the army lynx is a belter

Three silhoutted sunset pics from today

[Ruggerbugger]

Nice shot of the heron, I agree; how can you tell it's spot metering?

psychic

(actually I checked out the photo's exif)

Thanks chaps.

Tried to get a decent one of it in flight too, this was the best I could manage....




Seemed very hard to get a crisp shot of the bird, anyone any tips? I'm assuming I need the fastest shutter speed I can muster along with a steady hand?

Like the Heron and the wee tank.

One from a walk yesterday morning doing the Fairfield horseshoe above Ambleside and Grasmere. Just ordered a set of ND Grads which should hopefully help with these type of pics.

Army helicopters borrowed by the navy actually

[Gerrard]

I was going to say that usually Army Lynx's have skids but Navy ones have wheels.

Kushtibari, you live in a beautiful part of the world there and your landscape photos are great!

Speaking of choppers.. this was a complete snap shot, so apologies for the quality

[GSte]

That's pretty cool though... and the quality seems fine to me!?! Where did you see it? Any idea what it is? Polizia?

[watercooled]

It's an AH-64 Apache gunship, possibly the WAH-64 it's a little hard to tell them apart from a photo.

I knew it was an apache, but nothing more than that. It was somewhere south of Cambridge and I had the camera with me to take photos of something else. We heard it first and it popped up over a distant treeline and disappeared before I could change lenses (no, UWAs aren't any good for choppers). Then it flew by a bit closer a few minutes later.

Probably a WAH-64 then, the UK version.

Not far from here, that . Amazing picture!
