Photo Of The Day.

[severus]

As for the Coot, I snapped one at close quarters earlier today (shame i chopped its tail off).

 

 

Nice. I like bird pictures, myself. In fact, I missed a shot of a male wood duck in the stream behind my home last spring - the danged bird lit out before I could get the camera ready. I hope to have another chance sometime. Their feathers are prized by fly fishermen. Here's what they look like:

I like this photo,we spent many great nights here watching the world go by in Cannes.

I think it does show the world going by.

Works for me Medway. Terrific shot, the photo seems to really draw you in. I like everything about it & see something new each time I look at it. (BTW - when we visited Cannes it poured with rain, so we drove to Nice & got carjacked )

 

Severus - bizarrely, until last week I'd never heard of a Wood duck, but then photo'd a male and female at a pond up in Cumbria.

 

Steve - stunning landscapes, do you use any filters when taking them & if so what? I'd love to take landscape shots like yours.

 

Nursejudy, fabulous shot of what looks a lovely spot. Nice one!

I permanantly have a UV filter on my lens, but this is more to protect my lens than anything else. At a fiver a go its cheaper to replace if it gets scratched.

 

Everyone one who can, should have a UV filter on their cameras for the very same reason.

 

I have ordered a polarising filter which should be with me in the next week, I've ordered hat because all to often my skies are "washed out".

This is my best photograph of the weekend; my son coming down a slide at the local zoo:

Which enclosure is he going to slide into.
