darn I hate you now LP!
just started on the otter shots and came across the 300mm ones - I can tell by the colour that they are different - colours appear far crisper - and details - very sharp!
this is torment you hear - torment!
Thanks

So I wasn't the only one who thought he was going to be a one legged female Czechoslovakian shot-putter then?

Given it's the internet, that could well have been the case!

Nice to hear about the meet-up!
Good to see you two. Our lost prophet again, and our overread for the first time. I had pictured you a tad older (and ... a-hem ... somewhat more ... cough-cough ...) "established" looking, though frequent references to you still being a student had made me think if I might be wrong here before... . In other words: I hadn't pictured the beard and long(ish) hair... too. Like Matt-L.

Whose idea was it to meet in that sactuary (to me, it "belongs" to Lostprophet already!!!)?

 

[lostprophet]

I like the fox ones the best, and the water vole is gorgeous!

Do you guys have any tips for the aspiring wildlife photographer, such as, for example, where to find such creatures and how the hell to get that close?

some good tips here http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123890

Its kind of my fault :blushing:

 

[Overread]

hehe well the hair is usually a bit shorter, but mostly as a responce to going home in the holidays and then being sent out on orders to have it shortened - or no food...... - this time around the barbers was -- forgotten!

And its LP's? hmm I am going to have to go more and steal if from him then!

 

[lostprophet]

Just noticed that I posted this thread in the wrong gallery

 

[Overread]

ps incase anyone is wondering all my shots were taken with a canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS + 1.4 teleconverter

liking http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/... works/British Wildlife Centre 1/IMG_0490.jpg a lot ! shame about the bit of grass though

I'm not suprised by Overread's looks other than I was suprisingly on target. Only difference is that I imagined darker hair and *sighs* slightly older looking.

LP on the other hand, never ceases to amaze me with his boyish good looks and charm.

Some great shots by you lot. Hope you had fun while at it. I guess you both have gone to "L".

 

[Overread]

you want me older? you are wishing my life away

And yes duncanp I have been meaning to speak to them about long grass - too much of it round the place

both gone L? I have 3 lenses and only one is L (sadly)-- LP I think is all L though

 

[DeadEye]

Wicked good stuff. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

 

[kundalini]

No, not at all. Only a momentary lapse into reminicsing of what it was like back then, thus the *sigh*.
