Not an amazing photo, but conceptually relevant and amusing.

That was great timing !

Took this today out on a walk at lunchtime, only to send it to one of the guys I normally walk with saying I did the long lap today. Didn’t even break stride to take it, looked at it after and it’s kinda cool.

The double trapezoids from the shape of the tunnel and the shadow make it quite striking.

I really like that as well. Another 10 mins of the sun moving to the west and it would have aligned perfectly.

One of the best things about spending a lot of the time on the coast fishing is the multitude of good opportunities for a pic that present themselves. I should get a half decent camera and learn to use it given the time i spend outside but then it is just another thing to carry along with the fishing gear.

And another.

That's a great shot.

The lovely South Downs National Park where I live - early morning cycle and the weather and scenery were both stunning



And then a sea of poppies

Thanks, appreciate that. They're mine, bit of a handful this time of year. (Mrs took the pic)

Can anybody recommend a good but not bank-breaking mini-tripod? I went to a photography workshop today and it has rekindled my enthusiasm.

I don't know why but i have a bit of a thing for all Bees. I find them fascinating ,i love the little orange ones that make small nests on the ground, usually under a flat rock or old bit of board. I'm the one usually catching them and letting them out buildings or picking them up in cool areas and putting them in the sun early in the year (don't even know if that helps) and have a huge want to have a go at harvesting honey from a hive just once for the experience. I think there is somewhere local it's possible to do that so i need to give it a go.

Thanks, i've had a print done but ballsed up the size and have a bit of a job getting frameless frames made up. A bloke in Belgium seems to be the best bet in terms of price and custom size believe it or not.

my interest is piqued - where did you find out about this sort of event?

Often through local Facebook groups, but this one was at the Cheltenham Science Fesitval, which my SiL was involved with. Perhaps worth looking at the Future Labs website, as I noticed that the chap's slides were peppered with that logo.

Please do it, you'll always look back and be glad you did. They give you so much more than i can articulate.
