March Photo Competition

[Steve_De4]

Oh, I'll join in the fun again, tho I haven't had a chance to snap much lately...

[Andy Bown]

Brilliant Steve. That chimney only looks good/useful in artistic photos.

And the hang-glider is a great capture.

[Mad Murdoch]

i love the 2nd one steve,

Ok then here are the 3,

[John Cox]

One from me...

Nice one wibs

Scareily good OON

Two more from me, taken around Ullswater earlier this week.

Amazing photo Diane

This one is of the wind farm off the Great Yarmouth coast, I took this from the beach at Lowestoft

so that's probably why its not as crisp a photograph as I would have liked.

I should think that the wind farm is several miles away from where I was standing with my little camera.

Hi stormchaser1,

But for the understandable focus problem this would be a sure winner.

I love it.

H potsy,

Beautiful photo, It looks as if it was taken from a plane.

Here's my first for this month, taken while down the New Forest on Saturday.

[Supercell 89]

Ah, try again this is of a heavy hail/snow shower last monday

[John Cox]

Nice one Ashley,

Love the white of the hail contrasting with the black tarmadam road.

My three entries all come from a weekend spent in Glenfeshie near Aviemore in the Cairngorms. Gorgeous weather and superb scenery - what more could you ask for?

The opportunity to photograph some wonderful birds as well, that's what!

My first, however, is a lovely morning view over Loch an Eilean:

My next is an flight shot of a Snowy Owl:

My final effort is an attempt to pander to the landscape afficianadoes whilst at the same time pandering to my own wildlife bent at the same time:

A true Monarch of the Glen perhaps?

And for those wondering, they were captive bred birds and my holiday was a photographic workshop - I would be very lucky indeed to find a wild Snowy Owl in the Cairngorms!
