I’m very sorry for the title of this post. I tried so hard to resist, I honestly did.
Glorious sunny weekend here in Dorset. I was out on the water on both days, and took the opportunity to try out a ridiculously long lens that I bankrupted myself buying a little while back; the lens was heavy enough to induce involuntary capsizing if used unaided, as Graham Bland’s picture above illustrates.
I haven’t quite figured out how to get the best out of the lens yet (shutter speeds used were too bloody slow) but I did enjoy the luscious green sheen to this chappie …
Not too far away on the Isle of Purbeck, Isle of Portland Canoe Club did their good deed for the weekend …
Hi Mark
Great close ups of the Shag, I could have done with long lens like yours when I saw a white Shag last summer ….

Also could have done with it on Saturday when I spotted a pair of Peregrines feasting on a bird carcass. Couldn’t get close enough to take a decent picture.
On another note, your book is great, might even tempt me to venture south of the river!
Regards
Richard
