This is Dean's little baby. A top quality Lotus Elise , some would argue that this Series One is better looking than the S2. I'm not so sure, but I think in 10 or 20 years time this version will look much nicer.

On a photographic front, some may squirm at split in sky/foreground not matching the golden rule of thirds. I think it works though...

This is one of the first shots from the weekend that I spent with my mates Jim and Dean. This is Jim's Civic Type R. It's a pretty nice car, looks good, handles well and feels quite connected. I wouldn't say no anyway!

As for boy racer (ricer if you're American) comments, well it is actually possible to drive normally, and you can rest assured that none of us are into that rubbish. Oh, except Dean though. ;)

Sorry I haven't posted for a while, my parents have been visiting and I spent a weekend out with the lads shooting our cars and driving some great roads in Wales (stay tuned!).

She is a young bald eagle, apparently you can tell by the colour of the whiteish feathers. A fully mature bird is totally white around it's head, neck and tail.

See, I was listening during the display!

As with the previous couple of shots, this was taken at the National Birds of Prey Centre.

I like this shot, although it needs more DOF.

This is one of a few shots I'll post after I went to the National Birds of Prey Centre.

Whilst I was there I met another keen photographer and very nice lady called Linda Wright. You have a look at her shots from the centre over here, I'd recommend it.

This was shot in the 'Explore' part of @Bristol. My girlfriend was swinging a load of light rope around. Infact, it's the same light rope featured a while back here

Incidentally, I messed up the exposure on this shot, ISO was way too high. I'm another person that wants Canon to add a permanent ISO value in the viewfinder...

I almost forgot about this pic, I was fumbling around my folders looking for something to post and struck gold! It was only about a week and a half ago I think, but it had totally gone from memory. I want to sky to have a more dramatic colour, but I didn't want to go overboard with Photoshop.

In other news, I'm a bit stiff and sore so I'm not out shooting tonight. I spent a few hours yesterday and Saturday changing the brake pads and discs on my car. I've never done it before and I'm so glad I did. Quite easy really (but a bit of a workout!) once I had the right tools (7mm allen key anyone?) and it saved me about £100...hmm what camera gear could I buy with that?
