Just love their Apples. Flaps down ready for ia landing. AH, the Sparrow needs a taste too.  I am doing the same shots with half a Coconut husk with Peanut butter pasted inside, they really fight ...

Yes, and all there to watch twenty-two adults trying to kick a bag of wind between two wooden posts.

Sorry about that glitch, Am having problems finding images to post,   some folders have suddenly got a C in brackets behind and will not open I get the message, they have been moved, any ideas as ...

I am not going to critique any of your work, seems to me that you love experimenting while shooting,?  well, you make a fine job of it, keep it up, would love to see what you rate as your second best.

Nic car, a pair of rubbish bins, a street scene, but HEY, what is this monstrosity doing? here?

Not sure what you will make of this?  it is a close-up shot of an apple that has been cut in half for my birds to feed on

I think it is amazing that a 12 year old camera can still produce shots like these with such little effort This interloper was not invited but since he's here! This one is a bit apprehensive. I ...

I too have two FZ50s one black which I bought new and a silver one which like you couldn't resist at the price, the black one is a bit shabby with tatty rubber,  both are working perfectly and get ...

Possible, yes, however as it is close to home I am biding my time and waiting for perfect conditions.

Thanks ANAYv, no one else seems interested.

Sorry bout that, it's my 90-year-old eyes.

This is how I shoot the birds, this one was the wrong side of the wire. This was better, easy to clone out the wire, the sun was of no help, bright overcast days are the answer,, see the glare on ...

I was driving along and spotted this, I thought it might be worth I photo,m so I about turned an shot a couple off,  I will be keeping track of it in the coming days and will post some more shots ...

You are not doing too bad,  a good camera and a strong Raynox, did you drop down to 3 or 5 megapixels for a larger image? the best advice I can offer is a tripod, a comfortable position, some ...

Just playing around with Bees and honey,

After a long rest I  gave my 50 a go, this was full zoom, It has given me great pictures, equal to anything modern cameras produce when conditions are perfect and I am not about to dispose of it.
