This has become a sunrise thread and I kinda love it.

 

There's a field I drive past which has had a load of deer in it every morning for the last few weeks. Unfortunately, I can't stop on that section of road and get the long lens out. I suspect fairly soon I won't see them again until this time next year, when my commute next coincides with the relevant dawn moment.

Lots of great images

 

I really should work out a safe way to carry my cameras on my bike

 

poor thing has bounced across a road a few times so I'm not risking it anymore

also - putting in a bag attached to the bike results in a lot of bumpyness - also not ideal

 

 

I must ask for a solution on a cycle forum!

I use a small cycle rucksack - I carry a puncture repair kit, snack bars, plasters(!) and room to carry the waterproofs for when the weather makes a sudden improvement. Oh, and the phone and wallet for those oh so important cafe stops!

If you google image search this term you'll see a solution that might match your setup.

 

attach a camera bag to a cycle

 

I use a small single bag strapped to the front bars, 1 lens and the DSLR.

Had a camera club competition last night. The theme was "something unusual". I got 19 out of 20 for each of these. ... Well chuffed. :)

At the risk of going OT...

 

I have a Panasonic TZ10 as a "pocket camera" - it is fine, flexible, nice pics, but... it sucks dust in, and there's now a mottled effect on the back of the front lens. I've got the dust out for the second time, and had a go at cleaning the lens - whatever it is (and it might be the coating failing) but it doesn't come off. I don't think the mottling is affecting images too much, but very difficult to tell.

 

What would you replace it with (NOT a phone, MrsC will want to use it too)? I wouldn't mind spending a £few hundred. The GPS facility is good, I'd like to retain that. I'd go for another TZ, but they seem as rare as hen's teeth at the moment.

You could do worse than look at Olympus. I've heard that the Tough is a great compact camera and as its name implies, it's a tough little cookie.

Wex are out of stock but you can go direct to Olympus ...

My dad is a big fan of the Lumix too. His last few cameras have been chosen by deciding his budget then buying the best Lumix he can for that price (or rather, getting the next model up from his pre-set budget limit!).

It was critters night at camera club yesterday. Here's a few (taken with my iPhone13). Chip, the dog stole the show!

The dog is undeniably lovely, but that owl is mesmerising.

All of the animals were very good. Chip was great with his posing and his tricks but, as you say, the owl was just mesmerising.
