Great set Tony they show the event to perfection, and time well spent to get the images. I did something similar as part of a photo course years ago, had to do a set on the effects of light in photography so spent from 5am until 10pm sitting on a rock on a Carn photographing a building at one shot per hour.Tedious but great fun.
Thanks to all for your kind comments. It was great fun doing this. For Carletta and msdewberry, this is how I did it. I took 10 shots spaced over 3 hours, and then cropped them into 1000 pixel strips, which I merged into Photoshop and then cropped to the final size.
Amazing! This is one of the reasons I want the EF 100-400 mm lense! I also got an EOS 50D, but only an EF-S 55-250 mm lense. But I have to dig deep in my pocket, so it will be on my wish list for a few more months :o) Lovely images on your blog. I´m sure I will visit you again!
Originally from the UK, I have lived in Australia since April 2004. I am a keen photographer of wildlife and Aviation. I live on the edge of a seasonal wetland reserve on the northern edge of Adelaide. I use a Canon R7 Mirrorless Digital SLR with Canon RF24-240mm and RF 100-400mm Lenses . If you are visiting Adelaide, I would be happy to give information on locations for wildlife and aeroplane watching, or to take you out for a day if I am available.
Nice job, great snaps.
