Took my daughter for an owl hunt on the park behind my house last night with great success :)

A Owl...

 

Ah, but if I go for these often (and I do) then sure this is just one of them and therefore an 'an'?

That and 'a' owl hunt hurts my inner monologue :D

Now that adds a whole new meaning to the term ‘hanging like a bat’! :shocked:

Little competition that some of you may be interested in. I volunteer at this rescue... or did before they had to run without us due to the stay at home instruction.

I wish I'd set the shutter speed a little faster on this one (and that it would post the right way up!)

After my cool/annoying thing last week, I managed to get these low-quality snaps from much further away*:

(*so far away that auto-focus wouldn't lock on to them and I had to switch to manual.)

So for my 60th i was given an envelope by one of my schools which contained nice bit of cash they had whipped up. Rather letting it slip away as cash usually does i gave to the other half and she dropped the credit in my bank, I know I was taking a risk but there plenty of trust between us:D

So I had this credit in the bank and wondered what could I spend it on for my photography hobby, bearing in mind were now on lockdown and for someone who normally shoots landscape and not into portraits, pets and continually watching for birds in my garden, I decided to order these:

https://plutotrigger.com/products/pluto-valve

along with other bits and bobs, I have cleared out some space in the garage as my own studio and was up to midnight last night putting it all together and, a very hit and miss affair and makes me wonder what lab tech and scientists must feel like.

It's a great piece of kit and not just a one trick pony.

 

I will post some results later but if any anyone is interested its all on our favorite channel also take a look https://www.firstmanphotography.com/

That's nice, but for those of us with more time and less money, I'd recommend the digicamcontrol software, you can use an arduino or similar to control a water dropper mechanism as well!
