St Margaret's Church

davet47 — Sat, 27 Sep 2025 10:44:08 +0100

by: davet47

Description: Also known as The Marble Church because of the amount of marble used in its construction. I've driven/been driven past this church thousands of times and never stopped before, so took the opportunity to go there a couple of weeks ago. The door was locked so I had to return to do the interior.

Description: Yes, you are right. I should have thought about cloning the vapour trail out! Thanks for all your comments on my photos. We seem to be back to a dearth of people posting on here again. Dave

Blood Moon eclipse

by: davet47

Description: All I knew was that there was going to be a blood moon on 07/09/25. Only found out that it was going to be an eclipse as well about 10 mins before it appeared, and that I should have been in the south east of the UK for the best view. My time machine was in for service!

Heron in flight

Description: I've only been to this location about four times and have never seen Herons or Egrets there before. Only took my Fuji XT3+70-300 and 16-80 lenses, not expecting these. Went back the following day with XT5 and 100-400 lens and there was nothing.

Junior Cormorant

davet47 — Sun, 24 Aug 2025 19:24:52 +0100

by: davet47

Description: Shouting and wing spreading at another bird. I thought I'd taken my XT5/100-400 combo but when I got there I realised I'd swapped bags about the night before. Bags now clealy identified with different coloured tags. All I need to do now is remember which coloured tag relates to which camera.
