I saw quite a few Spot-breasted Orioles at Markham Park this morning while looking for the Western Spindalis. This bird posed for me.

KLAX (Los Angeles International Airport) - 03 JUN 2020
"Virgin 681 Bravo Heavy" from London Heathrow Airport (EGLL/LHR) on short final to RWY 24R.
I uploaded the last one of these pictures about 6 months ago for my Canon Gear, so I thought it was time for an update. I spend a lot of time on Flickr looking at equipment groups for recommendations and advice, something I find very helpful, hopefully these pictures are as useful for others.
I'm still really an amateur when I comes to photography, and while I feel like I'm learning, I've still got a long way to go before I'm taking the pictures of a quality that I can be truly happy with. So I would welcome any questions or suggestions for future purposes, just unfortunately I might not have the money to go for them all, as unfortunately this is still only a hobby!
So in no particular order, the current kit I'm using is:
Canon 60D = The biggest addition since the last picture was taken! I upgraded from my 1000D a few month ago. I'm glad I made the switch, the 60D even putting aside the performance bonuses, it just feels better in hand, and inspires confidence as a result. Spending more money on a camera doesn't make you a better photographer, but it can help you feel like one.
- Fitted with a Meike battery grip.
Canon 1000D = Still hanging onto this one, mainly as a back up to the 60D. I am considering converting it to Infrared, I'd be really interested to hear peoples thoughts on that! - Fitted with a Meike battery grip.
Canon 85mm f/1.8 USM= My newest lens, and one I'm still getting used to. Very happy with it so far though, especially the depth of field you get at f/1.8 at around 135mm (with the 60D's crop factor).
Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM = probably my favourite lens, and one that took a lot of getting used to. Versatile and (especially at f/8) very sharp. I've read a lot about dodgy Sigma lenses, and variable build quality, but I've always been very pleased with them. I often use this with my 62mm Variable ND filter, as I find it a nice focal length for landscapes (even with the crop factor...)
Canon 50mm f/1.8 = still hanging around, not used as much now I have the 30 and 85mm. But still a good lens, admittedly with the loudest autofocus I've ever heard.
Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM = The upgrade to a Sigma 70-300mm that I traded in. A fantastic lens, and a really good upgrade, the addition of the IS and the ultrasonic motor for the autofocus has made a huge difference (I think) to my wildlife pictures. I was nervous about spending so much (for me at least!) money upgrading a 70-300 for another 70-300, but this is another league to the Sigma. Everyone seemed to be suggesting a 400mm f/5.6 last time I asked for suggestion, it still might happen, I just need to save a bit first!
Sigma 10-20mm EX DC HSM = Still working really well, my go to lens for a lot of my landscape shots. I'm thinking of getting a fish eye lens for some more interesting angles, but I can decide if I want to go for an EOS or Micro 4/3rds fit...
Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM = My upgrade to the kit lens that came with the 1000D. Good all rounder, with very useful IS. I don't use it as much as when I first had it. I've developed a taste for prime lens, which means this one doesn't get used as much as it should.
Billingham Hadley Large = My everyday bag, fantastic build quality and very spacious (although not for everything pictured here at the same time...) Also living in Wales, it helps that it's waterproof...
Generic Rucksack = Bought pretty cheaply, good for long walks when I don't want to carry the Billingham.
Jessops 360AFDC Flashgun = I don't use flash much, but I read good reviews of this one. I picked it up very cheaply on Amazon, and I think it works very well, lots of control and a very versatile flash head.
Hama Compact Traveller Pro = Nice compact little tripod, not up to the standard of a carbon fibre Manfrotto tripod, but it suits my purpose. I use it with a Hama ball head which I also put on my monopod.
Manfrotto 681B monopod = Useful when I don't want to take my tripod, especially useful for a lot of wildlife shots.
Hama Variable ND filter- very useful, especially for coastal pictures.
Black Rapid RS-7 - A useful strap, especially when I want to keep my camera within easy reach. Very well made and comfortable to use.
Thoughts, suggestions, questions, please let me know!
I had seen of couple of shots of this guy by two of my Flickr friends (Diego Bonafè and Mauro Pasquero) but had never met him 'in person'. Impossible to mistake him because of his very crooked right horn. It would be interesting to know what caused the problem; my best guess is that it was some kind of a natural process because I can't imagine what else could have caused something as hard as an ibex horn to bend in such a pronounced way. Be that as it may I think the horn has caused this guy a lot of problems: just look at how worn and ruined the tip is.
One more of the many ibex (in this case a female) that can be seen at the Pian della Mussa. In early spring and in autumn, during the quietest times of the day, they gather in quite large numbers in the area of the Rifugio Città di Ciriè where they are very easy to admire and photograph.

Friends,
I am selling all of my Nikon Gear. If you are from Bangalore and interested, you can check details here
bangalore.olx.in/d7000-sb910-manfrotto-681b-manfrotto-496...
Get in touch with me if you are interested.
Taken from the Sentiero Tempo in the Valle Orco (Piemonte). In the Parco Nazionale Gran Paradiso it's not rare to see animals wearing radio (or GPS) collars as in the case of this beautiful chamois. They are put on by the Park guards for scientific purposes, especially to track the animal's movements.

Bristol Lodekka FLF. This is actually BVX 681B but showing fictitious plates from BHN 658B, also carried incorrectly by TCS 174. New to Eastern National in 1964. Now owned by Fody Catering, seen trading as a hospitality bus at Heidelberg Zoo.
2nd Oct 2020.
I do not remember where this was taken, it may be Birmingham Race course or some kind of athletics track. However 8912 PT is a Bedford chassis with Burlingham Gannet body which has acquired a set of Windtone trumpet horns, possibly fitted by David the driver who has his name on the door, the antimacassars on the seat backs have C C embroidered on them maybe giving a clue to the coaches owner.
Keeping the Gannet company is an Austin Sheerline KUY 196, these were a great favourite of the wedding and funeral market because they looked rather like a Rolls-Royce to the uninitiated, they did rot very badly but so did Rolls-Royces of that era, the model appeared in 1948. AOH 681B is a brand new Hillman Minx and, if nothing else, dates the picture to 1964.

A production of Shakespeare was playing on Market Square, Knoxville, TN tonight.
These are some of the first images I captured with the 200mm. I shot wide open most of the evening just to see what it could do. It didn't disappoint.
To those wondering about the weight, yes, it is heavy. I spent two hours on the square and handheld most of that. However, I did bring my monopod (Manfrotto 681B w/ RRS MH-01 Ballhead & B2-Pro II Clamp) and glad I did! I'm guessing an hour at most handholding, especially in 90 degree heat. If cooler, maybe a little longer?
Gotta run for a special dinner night out with my Mom (a rare occasion).
Enjoy your weekend!
