Shot this yesterday with the 600mm. I still hate this lens as it's just too big to hand hold effectively but I refuse to get my tripod out!

Anyway, this is pretty much SOOC but the Grebe of the title is a little tiny dot in the centre. I've tried a few crops but none look right as the effect of the reflection is lost. The window frame takes focus away as it is so bright.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Going to be doing a shoot with this little lady soon.
Did I mention I got a new car?

It's not this one of course :(

Had this for 10 years and 4000 miles of pure fear - I mean fun.

I love her to bits but it's time to say goodbye this year as I just never get the chance to drive anymore.

A car that weighs next to nothing with a Honda Fireblade engine and sequential gearbox inside.

The lighthouse at Flamborough Head.

Got up at insane O'Clock to go and photograph puffins at Bempton but the clouds put an end to that just after sunrise.
So, I drove the short distance to Flamborough to try and get some barn owl shots. They were all inside having breakfast or something so the lighthouse drew the short straw.

Both these shots are pretty much SOOC, despite there being very little direct, warm morning light, there were some stunning clouds and colours on offer to the right lens.

I've been selling my Zeiss 28mm lens since I got it. Trouble is, I keep using it and it's nothing short of sensational. I'll have it forever most likely.

Not sure why I posted them this way round - maybe I like the second one better now.
