Today in pictures

[Gremlin]

I was emailed by a friend asking me if I could get a few snaps of Broadway, the town hall and the market so I thought I would use them for Today in Pictures.
It's only afterwards when I saw the news on TV I realised why it was so clean around there.

It was getting dark when I set off home so I managed a couple more pics on my way.

What a cracking set of shots, number 9 made me look twice, it almost could be the same bird snapped a few times on the same frame. I know its not, which makes the shot a little belter. I am sort of guessing at Oystercatcher.

I see what you mean about the cleanliness, also, almost devoid of people as well, nice portrayal of the town.

Thanks, I think you`re right about the species, I did wonder what they were, tried the RSPB identifier but didn`t come up with anything that looked like the ones in the pic,

Today in Pictures, a walk down to the river without paying too much attention to the river. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, it could be mistaken for Spring, well almost, its still very gloopy underfoot.

1. Its always nice to start with a wet bit.
2. Looking in the direction of Whalley Nab, the sheep are now in the fields for lambing.
3. My back is to the river looking back up the hill.
4. The water is not as heavy as expected.
5. Look what I found !
6. Almost like bubbles.
7. Long shadows and a stripy sky.
8. The only shot of the river.
9. Time to head back up the hill.
10. Almost back at the top.

Top marks that man! undeniably oyster catchers, the prominent white bar along the wings, their shape & the long straight red beak.

Very good photo that Gp24.

Thanks, shooting in the direction of a low sun gave it a warm feeling.

Today in pictures, St Mary's burial ground and the Millennium Woods.

1. Autumn leaves and Spring flowers.
2. I'm on the ground again.
3. The Daffs are trying to get out.
4. Reading the stones tells a story of Why Victorian families had a lot of children, a lot die young, and you wonder how they managed.
5. Next location.
6. Alder, female catkins right, male catkins left.
7. Early Cherry blossom, but not many.
8. Another world on a wall.
9. We like to think we will be remembered forever, but two generations and we are lost in time.
10. Just messing with texture.

If you can get your hands on a laser pointer, you can get good close ups with your 3gs.

Time for a beer break.

And that snow pile is all my own work.

If your camera has a macro setting use that, or if it doesn't, does it have a thread on the end of the lens for screwing filters in, if it does then you can get close up filters in various dioptres, The photo you like was shot with a 10 dioptre stack (three screwed together).
Another way is to stand back a bit and zoom in as close as it will let you. Not technically macro, but you will get the same result.
What camera are you using ?
