RR's Wildlife Portfolio....
tony_danza:
Why thank you. I have no idea what I'm doing, but they seem to come out ok.
Whilst I love cars, I find real beauty in nature and architecture and like photos of them.

Another set of photos, all on the Fuji 200EXR and shot in the last couple of days:
^ My bird table with daily visitors - A pair of Collared Doves. I call it The Bird Cafe and keep it well stocked all year.
I get a wide variety of regular birds visiting including a Sparrowhawk swooping through for a kill.
^ I'm not sure which spider.. Quite big, as the hole is 15mm.. Probably a Lace-webbed variety.
^ A Harvestman on a pumpkin.
^ A pair of Flesh Flies mating.
^ Speckled Bush Cricket - Very handsome mini-beast.

I've just bought a Guide To Garden Wildlife by Richard Lewington:

His illustrations are stunning and extremely good for identifying the wealth of living creatures who share your garden. Very useful info too.

Nice collection of Photos again RR, I especially like the huge spider coming out of that hole all really well focused and exposed :drinking:

....Thanks, Rich :drinking:. It's nothing like as pin-sharp as it would be if using a professional Canon or Nikon but you can't carry one of those in your pocket! You never know when you'll get the opportunity to capture a shot: I was doing some fencing and drilling into a concrete post which disturbed this mother spider who went on the defence. I'm not scared of spiders but I'm glad they ain't a lot bigger!
One thing I miss on my digital compact is the ability to set speed and let the aperture auto adjust.
