They are all good but my favourite is number 1. I love the little face at the bottom just peering out.

Taking advantage of the first non-cloudy evening for ages using my HS50exr at 1000mm. And a reminder of warmer days when butterflies and bees were plentiful also on the Hs50. the farthest and the nearest :)

I agree that the lady in red on the left is a distraction as are the two camera bags in the left foreground. If the lady was cropped out and the bags cloned out it would make for a cleaner and more informative image. Just my humble opinion.

Here are some more shots of the old mine buildings that abound in Cornwall.

Good captures but I think they are close ups and not macro. True macro is 1:1.

Thanks and I agree with you. I took them on the Macro and super macro settings on my Fuji HS50 and X10. ( not the grey squirell). I wish the camera manufacurers would not claim their lens are macro, it is quite confusing.

I am never quite sure when a photo is a macro or just a close up, but I enjoy seeing these creatures larger than life.

On second thoughts and looking through my
Field guide No.1 could be a Corn Bunting or possibly a Water/Rock Pippit. They are both about 7" overall and the pippit has a more slender beak. Nothing else resembles it, but Maine is a long way for a small bird to fly from England Lol.

It reminds me of my favorite photo, by Robert Doisneau of the couple kissing at the Hotel de Ville in Paris. It also reminds me of a recent forum discussion about 'The Leica look' and Henri Cartier Bresson. Yours is a stunning picture, I hope you gave a copy to the couple to treasure.

Nice shots. Especially number 1.
Thanks KW, theres something sad about disused buildings, but they are quite photogenic. I wonder what the old miners would say if they could see how it is now. The local council keep it nice and tidy and put information boards up giving the history.

Thank you very much,Mick. You put a lot of effort into making us feel that we had been there and knew its history. I can imagine your difficulty in exposing in those extreme conditions of bright sun and deep shadows, well done.

Nice shots, Linda. Is the first one a thrush, the makings are a bit different.
