Love the chaffinch photos, I've yet to get a decent picture of a small bird by the time I've zoomed in and found the subject it has flown. Last Summer I nearly got heat stroke standing in the GH waiting for a subject
I remember getting a telescope for christmas years ago, If I remember right seen a couple of planets with it, I think Mars was one but cant remember others. Great picture of the Moon and Jupiter
On a photographic note, I would just like to say, that as I had mentioned a little while ago about camera aperture sizes and their relevance to focus, take a look at Charlie's first crocus picture. While the foreground is in focus, the background is blurred. I would say this is deliberate and is achieved by choosing a wide aperture setting...something like f2.8.
For all the flowers to be in focus, probably a *smaller setting such as f16 would be a good choice.
*As if to complicate matters, the larger the f number, the smaller the aperture & vice versa.

Cheeky Chaffinch.
Sorry for the delay
I thought those burfday flower shots were great, KEF...especially when enlarged.
There you go, Rb.
Thanks, Rb...although I preferred the first one inasmuch as I wanted to show off the lovely feathers.
Either ways, it's a triumph in itself if the little bugg'rs don't fly off as soon as you pick the camera up.

Very interesting pictures Charley
Enjoy them Runny
Really nice shots, Charlie....especially enlarged.
Yellow crocus especially a favourite of mine.
