Harness Racing Practice

by: davet47

Description: This track is near to one of the bird hides I go to, and last time I went I managed to get a few shots of this. Couldn't find anyone to ask for info and didn't want to stop the horse! There is a proper raceway further up the coast so it might have something to do with this.

Description: Had a spur of the moment trip to the NWWT site at Bangor last Tuesday. So glad I went as I got some more Kingfisher shots to add to my collection. (and it's a 100 mile round trip!) These appear to be juveniles.Lighting was very harsh so a fair bit of processing was required to get these.

Description: The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight from RAF Coningsby came to the Airbus factory at Hawarden on 30-31/05/2025 to commemeorate the 80th Anniversary of Lancaster Bomber Production at the site during WW2. See https://www.raf.mod.uk/display-teams/battle-of-britain-memorial-flight/ for more info. PA474 is one of two remaining Lancasters flying in the world (the other one is in Canada) and my mother worked on Wellingtons initially and then Lancasters at the factory during the war so I had to go and get hopefully a decent shot of these aircraft.

Great Crested Grebe

davet47 — Thu, 29 May 2025 11:39:48 +0100

by: davet47

Description: For Mike Toll-obviously not up to your standard but they were a long way out on the lake. Google maps says 300 metres! 300mm lens with 1.5 crop sensor and 1.4 TC so 630mm equiv focal length, then cropped 50% on the width. Overall I'm quite happy with these. Processed with my normal ACDSee routine, then Topaz Denoise AI.
