Atherton & District Amateur Photographic Society

Well done everyone and especially Keith who I'm sure puts in lots of his time organising these comps.

Hi Keith
The digital "Golden Stag" one I think was Chris Stephens and not mine (as much as I wish it was my picture hehe). Assuming it's not one of mine anyway....

Well done everyone great result.

Sorry I missed this night work commitments

Great night Andy. Amazing and inspiring images, perfect presentation, confident speaker (hope we weren't more of a handful that the kids you teach :-P ) I've come away thinking Landscape doesn't have to be the large frame filling rolling landscapes, go local, think outside the box and sometimes thin...

Thanks Keith that's very useful. These judges must have their work cut out trying to spot any cloning I struggle myself to spot where I've cloned sometimes when going g back to look at pictures. I love taking wildlife shots so will have to get cracking. I see Jared has posted some crackers on Facebo...

Looking forward to this as my first prints entries. Looking forward to seeing everyone else's too

What's the requirements for shots in the naturecategory. Probably a stupid question I know

The blowers can be quite effective to. I have this one for around a tenner

Lock the mirror up, turn camera upside down and blow from below . Doesn't always work but handy for lenses as well

Thanks for the lovely comments Tracey and Paul. I like those two as well, the Tawny was really cute until he flew at the camera

Lovely day out at this place which is next to Martin Mere pretty much, they had Birds of Prey and Reptiles to spend the day with ;) "One is not amused" http://i1360.photobucket.com/albums/r645/Allan_Hamer/Windmill%20Animal%20Farm%20-%20Birthday/DSC_6030_zpsa5cba6a5.jpg A Bearded Glance htt...

Great fan of your work. Always a pleasure to view. Great images / processing as always.

And at an evening do we bumped into...Trevor Sidebotham. Trevor gets around!

Who's Simon heh

Good stuff. How you finding them as I've been thinking about getting some rather than shelling out for a macro lens

Amazing what you can get with these really

Gill, a pair of footwear was left by I presume one of the models. If they want to collect they can otherwise I can bring them in week after next.

Father in law let me know about them as he is chairman at Astley
