LOL! Was a bit ropey at times, but in 6hrs I only got hit with bricks twice. The whole set is (here) if you wanna see more ian (21 pics in total)
A bit of an accidental shot this one. was trying to get some pics of some sparrows on a bird feeder, which really wasn't going so well. This bumblebee very nearly took my head off - it sounded like a Chinook coming towards my head! So I thought I'd have a go at getting the bee on some plants. Which also failed, as, when I pressed the shutter button, the bee decided that it'd fly off. So, I ended up with this... Cropped to improve composition, saturation boosted a little and border added.
It wouldn't have been too bad - in the original - the flower (that was cropped out) is pin-sharp and in focus - the bee is ever so slightly out of focus and looks a little soft.
Taken sat on an old WWII pillbox in the dunes. There was at least a few more pillboxes lying crumbled on the beach. Wouldn't have liked to invade this part of the country! ================== A while further down the coast (after some trail-riding through the upper dunes on my bike and some "flying lessons") I was into Hartlepool which is even more fortified! ========= Then I got to the Heugh, part of Hartlepool headland: Is the ferry going to get it? ========= And finally, a bit of history for you: All taken with a Sony Ericsson k800i mobile phone (of all things).
Testing this for the craic last night. 32.6 min exposure last night. F3.5 20mm ISO 100 Not bad for 1st attempt.
