Hi all

No Calluna heather in flower yet but there is some Erica in flower in N. Pennines.

I think I found the actor they use for the famous whisky brand.

He actually did fill the frame, so the tight crop was the only option.

Techs: 20d. 400mm. 1/500th. F8 iso400

Cheers

Brian

Flashed his Equity card at you did he Brian - where's he running to, his agent??

Looks a tad soft around the head area and the BG spoils it for me a bit, but for sure he's a real frame-buster - great species id shot

Looks a bit soft on my monitor too Brian. Hard shot to get as it looks like it's moving pretty swiftly. Cool looking bird though

Looks like he managed to run a bit too quick for you Brian - frustrating when they do that

Whereabouts are you heading to in the NP's? Might be able to meet up with you one day.
