    Tufted Duck

    Nightmare... bad enough trying to get to grips with a new laptop, but messing about with a new operating system... just hate it. The programmes downloaded made the thing virtually unworkable as it was so slow. Why do they mess about with what works?? For me with Win7 it was so easy to crop and...

  2. Keeping an eye on the kids

    Keeping an eye on the kids

    The last I think from Brechin. The other side of the fence was a children's playground and the kids were enjoying themselves on a trampoline. For all the world it looked like these two were watching them like a couple of mothers. I tried to move round to get the kids in shot too, but I'd have...

    There were loads of Mallards about round the lochside at Brechin and most of them were actually too close, even for my wee camera.

    It just happened!

    After we'd done Aberlemno we moved on to the Pictland Centre and Brechin Castle visitor centre, a large complex with an exhibition/museum explaining all about the Picts, a garden centre, gift shop, rather a nice cafe and country park. It's very close to the A90 and would be worth calling in...

  5. Synchronised grooming

    Synchronised grooming

    The last one from the Aberlemno stop and this was again taken down by the church. Typically for me, the only decent picture for focus and they're being camera shy! I changed the ev to +0.3 - is that the sort of thing I should be looking to do with this type of shot?

  6. Barn Sparrows

    Barn Sparrows

    Sorry, silly title! After investigating the Pictish stone on the roadside at Aberlemno, we moved down to the church where there's an 8th century standing stone in the graveyard. Anyway, there were lots of birds fluttering about and I'd left the bins in the car! I suddenly realised the group...
