Last one could be a Pohto of the month entry !

[imcarm]

Thanks Biscuit, I did think about it but I feel the photo of the month comp needs something a bit more special.

[Bristol Pete]

Nice sharp shots with bold colours. Lovely :)

[imcarm]

Thanks Bristol Pete, I'm quite surprised as to just how good the Sammy is. All shots taken in manual mode with no flash, tripod was only used for the last 5 shots. I'm still getting used to the camera and it's limitations, under very low or poor lighting images can be a bit noisy but some manaul adjustments to the ISO, shutter speed etc. usually gets around this. :thumbsup:

[imcarm]

Another from last night, this is a capture of kids bubbles being caught as they are blown. Very odd almost looks like smoke.

Out and about in Cheddar and Burnham On Sea today, got some nice shots shame the weather was a bit dull. The Brown Trout under water did not come out as well as expected, any tips for taking under water shots? Polarizer I suspect would of helped.

Some shots taken last weekend in East Pennard Somerset (Nr Pilton), had to add a little brightness and contrast to these as they seemed a little under exposed.

Cows are can be very nosey:
