Wild cat (C)
Just had nearly 2000 trannies returned to me which an agent has been sitting on for about 12 years.!!! The people who have taken over don't use slides but said they would scan them in for me at £2.50 a time !! So I had them all back, and most of the stuff I,d forgotten about. This one is a copy off the slide done on my home made drainpipe job. I photograped this animal in 1973. It was part of a breeding programme.
Can't recall the exp.details. Done on a Mamiya 645.
Makes a nice print .

Very impressive John,
a good example for me, not the gear makes it but the guy behind it.

Hi John, nice shot.

Whats with the "thanks to those of you that bothered to comment" though? Not every shot is to everyone's interest, and there's a lot of posts on here that don't get many comments.

Are you still feeling a bit sore over the Birdguides matter? Dont become bitter John you're better than that. You post excellent shots, too many to mention them all, they generally get great comments.

Hopefully things are ok with you and its me who is misreading things.

Regards
Brian

Hi Brian
Certainly nothing at all to do with the Birdguides issue. In fact I,d forgotten about it.
Some things on the forum just surprise me -that's all, but having said that ,if it bothered me that much, I,d have been gone from here a long time and 4157 comments ago :smile:
Cheers

Good man John, glad that you are okay. I really look forward to your posts and I'm sure others do too. Keep on doing what you do.

Missed this one earlier. A cracking image that really conveys a sense of the wildness of these cats.
