Blue Tit
Weather was absolutely horrendous this morning but it was nice to get out when it did stop raining, but the light was still poor. Been a bit disillusioned lately and coupled with work pressures, weather and life basically, photography has had to take a back seat :frown:

Thought I'd post this rarity :rolleyes:

Very nice Graeme, I hope you put superglue on the perch to lengthen shooting time and wing flapping shots!

Astonishing Graeme - not seen one in ages :biggrin: :biggrin:

Good strong comp, tack sharp, perch works well for me and you've made a good exposure despite the obvious poor light - job sorted :toast: :toast:

One thing I'd have to do is clone out that strand of fibre at the tip of the perch though :wink: :wink:

Photography may have taken a back seat but you still have your eye in - super work

Hi Graeme. Nice work with the rare blue tit there. Sharp, nice composition and perch. What more could you ask for. I went through the same disillusionment after my op. You just need to get your teeth into a long term project. It gives your work meaning, objective and an aim. Drop me a mail any time if you wanna chat. :toast: :toast: :wavey:

Very Nice Graeme, I do know how you feel, although I think I am getting over things it is sometimes a great effort to motivate myself......

It is good that you have been able to get out there and I'm sure it is just the start...

All the best & speak soon

Phil
