The more I see of Nigel's images, the more I realise I need a better lens! Having said that, I only ever use a pocket Canon for 99.9% of the stills and the lens on the Nikon is a basic one. Maybe I need to investigate a better one when funds permit?

There's nothing wrong with your pictures Ray.
Thanks guys, compare mine with Nigel's and note the difference.
Mine are generally to add to an ever expanding library of pics and no pretensions about the quality or lack of it. Just a record. I'm very much into quantity rather than quality now that digital costs nothing. If only I'd had digital back in the 1970s to 2004 - and a zoom lens prior to 1980.
I've decided to upgrade the compact camera and will also investigate a better quality second-hand lens from The Camera Warehouse shortly. Hoping to sell off some stuff before the end of the financial year.

Another two that had to be screenshots, not straight uploads.
From the archives - 1991 & 2004
Congratulations on 3 million views Ray. Very impressive.
Thanks Nigel. I'm looking to see if I can get a better 300mm lens next week (even secondhand) and also replacing the compact camera that I use for the stills.
I'm very conscious of my stuff being quantity rather than quality!
PS: The model I want is in short supply worldwide, but so much cheaper in NZ and supplies not expected for at least 2 weeks.

Great news today of the proposed new track initiated by Tony Roberts, Gary Stirling and Roger Williams at Tect Park. Let's hope that we amateur photographers can access somewhere other than the front straight!
