Thanks gregory, I didn't make it easy for myself by wanting Roker lighthouse in the shot as well. It was luck rather than skill that got it. I dont think bird photographs is the way to go for me at present, it must take a lot of skill and patience to turn out some of the shots our members have shown. Thanks again, and Im pleased you liked it :D pip

Ran across the photo of the ice hanging from the mountain when driving the Blue Ridge Parkway. Even in the middle of the day there was frost on top of the mountains.

Great shots Jean, especially the first two :thumbup: pip

Snow Sculptures in China

ChinaPaul wrote:

It has been the coldest winter in over 25 years here in northeast China.

Taking advantage of the cold weather, city planners asked some artisits create snow sculptures at some local parks.

I added one of the pictures with the taxi to show the movment of the city traffic to the proximity of the sculptures. It was also nice to see Minnie Mouse holding a SLR camera.

Wow awsome, its a different world :thumbup: pip

Had a visitor yesterday......Red Shouldered Hawk

I was working out in the yard yesterday and this beauty decided to hang out for a very long while. First in one Oak. Then another. Then to my neighbors yard. Then the power pole in the back. Then to the Sycamores in the front.
It was a pleasure to have his company for most of the day.

lovely and crisp :thumbup:

I found black headed gulls to be the tamest to photograph but it does of course depend where you are.

They can get a bit vicious up here in the wild north :evil: :lol: :thumbup:

I just took a look at your camera on dpreview and it looks pretty decent. It shoots RAW and jpeg normal and fine. When mine looks like that it's either the subject is too far away or ISO is set too high. I don't know. Wait just a bit and someone that knows more about it then me will be along. Sorry

Thanks tramsey, :thumbup: pip
