Spring Life


Three shots from the weekend, making the most of the false summer while it lasts.
A Grebe in the first shot, taken at ISO800 because I'd been taking other photos when it floated past, always quite tricky to decide how to crop these reflection images, but the centred subject won out.

My resistance to taking macro photos collapsed for the second shot, as bee-flies are everywhere at the moment and look great against a splash of colour.

The third is a fun shot which just took a little waiting for the lambs to direct their overloaded energy levels in the right direction, past a sign for a cross country run.

ISO800, 400mm, f/5.6, 1/800s, -2/3ev, cropped, noise reduction

ISO200, 105mm, f/5.6, 1/800s, -1ev, noise reduction

great post and I'm really glad the bee fly came out so well after so many unhelpful ones flew off ;) we found a great place, can't wait to go back again but maybe without the warden this time?!
