An image from this morning.

Mid Suffolk - Shootin' out of a vehicle window

1D Mk2 / 300mm F2.8 and 1.4x
1/1600 Sec
F/4.5
ISO 640
JPEG L

I accidentally left the camera on JPEG and ISO on 640. Got some much closer views but liked this one.

Have a good Easter.

You have captured the falling snow perfectly,it can be hit and miss choosing the right shutter speed but this is spot on, a beautiful picture!!

Hi ARD,

Had a shot like this in mind for this morning, but a combination of things prevented me from going out. I can't find fault with this and think it is stunning. The eye contact the snow and the composition all spot on.

As you live in Suffolk, would be nice to meet up at some stage in the next few weeks.

Regards

Rob

Excellent image ARD. The snow fall is an extra bonus. :toast:
I wonder how many more made use of that.
