Lambs

These premature twins are the smallest lambs I've ever seen. They belong to our friends just down the lane from us and they were born 2 days ago. They're the first I've seen around here but there'll be hundreds soon. The early ones are often in sheds to start with.

I was very disappointed with my photography today. I clearly wasn't using my new camera properly. I must spend a bit of time looking at the photos and trying to establish what I was doing wrong. The light/flash wasn't right and neither was the focusing. Luckily I put my trusty little canon in my pocket as I was leaving the house and took a couple with that. This is one of them
What a dinky pair - so beautiful!

With it's big ears the little one almost looks rabbit-like.

It takes a while to get used to a new camera - I'm fairly technical but manuals make me glaze over. You will soon be firing on all cylinders.

@foxes37 When they stood up they wee so skinny with spindly legs that seemed far too long for their bodies. I resisted the temptation to pick them up and cuddle them.

Love mama's earrings! What is it about lambs particularly that make us go 'ah'? Well done, Sue, lovely photo.

Oh so jealous, I have seen some lambs at a distance but nothing close up; I do hope they are ok and thrive. Is this a brand new camera to you? It can take a while, I used auto for a good long while and then started copying the settings and worked from there. I did use a slr in the 1980's but digital was a whole new ball game! :0) You will do it but maybe just not overnight:0)

Lucky you to have seen this . ! I am sure your camera will behave soon ! It's all those choices of settings ... but the moment was still captured !
