Your R System Images - April 2023

[PKM-UK]

Hi Hali,

A terrific set of images - you have a great eye for composition, abstract shapes and colour - which makes it very difficult to choose a favourite, though Karen favours number 2 and (of course) I agree with her…

Hi David,

A great capture of a wonderful creature in what looks like pretty demanding lighting conditions.

Thank you for sharing!

Thanks. Birding is pretty new to me, so I'm firing at will and hoping...

Hi klaspavel,

Welcome to the RF Shooters and the thread!

That, is some mean and moody looking weather sweeping in. Our favourite is image 2 - a real sense of drama!

Hopefully spring is fast approaching (we’re having very similar thoughts here in England… ).

Thank you so very much! #2 is my favorite as well. It's gotten me a number of features on Vero as well which always makes me happy, even if I don't make them for social media.

Such moody images, I love the graininess and that feeling of impending doom in #2. I hope spring eventually gets to you!

PKM suggested I post some more puffin images here. These were taken last July on Skomer. I'm hoping to visit again in early May when the bluebells are out.

Hi Yang,

Definitely one of our better suggestions (!) - and thank you so much for following up on it with 3 stunning captures of these absolutely wonderful creatures.

As with many birds, the colour differences between the various areas of plumage make capturing such shots a real juggling act - and you've done incredibly well here.

Very difficult to choose a favourite, but we can't get past number 3, featuring a pair of utterly delightful cuties.

Great stuff!
