@onewing Thank you Babs the snows gone now, expecting it back at the weekend only inconvenience to me was I missed the camera club meeting, btw have tested the light wheel in the snow got the focus all wrong but it shows some promise :)

Lovely detail. The pigeon looks a tad precarious!

I love the way he's peering over to look at something. You've obviously got a lot of snow in your part of the world Fav

@pcoulson look forward to seeing your wheel photos. I set the focus before I start. Pity about missing photo club. You will have to take your wheel along and do some light painting sessions.

I always reckon these birds are so clumsy. They don't so much land in a tree but fall into it and hope that they will eventually get stopped from falling by a branch
