Thanks Rob
Thats got nothing on what i have been upto tonight

Looking forward to seeing the results

Here you go

Spent an hour up at blackbushe tonight. It was bloody cold but well worth the effort. I was the only human up there but plenty of foxes and other wildlife.

This one took about an hour of editing to remove all the aircraft trails.

simply stunning mate.............

Glad you like them

Very nice mate

Like the last in particular, nice and spooky.

Very nice man!

Cheers guys

Chris wasn't as scary as i though it would be up there. Until of a fox or something got hold of a ground bird. The screaming from the bird put me on edge a bit
I was going to try another tonight but the location has a low level of mist

Had planed to do a trail sunday but the location had a layer of mist by the time i got up there.
Luckly i did some house work earlier in the day

Pop! by Micky Photography, on Flickr
<sub>Today i remembered the huge bag of party poppers i have under my desk so had a try at getting the streamers coming out.

I don't have a sound trigger so this was done by pressing my remote trigger with my foot at roughly the right time.

This was my best results and did make me laugh.

I didn't get the timing right and only did three attempts as the cats didn't like it.
A project to continue another day.

Also the 'M' on y keyboard isn't working and you have to hold it down for ages before it types.
Just thought i'd share that.</sub>
