TheFlyingCrust Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Garbo, Have you noticed how the colours in the 2 rainbows are in the oposite order? Interesting optical phenomenon. Lovely photo. BBC, my dearly departed brother hankered after a TF but settled for a TD II. (1500 cc version). Now in the posession of his daughter.

bouncebounce crunch Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Rentman I wish i was in the seat next to him. the craftmanship in vehicles of the past just cannot be beat, sure technology brings us safer and more user friendly machines but i don't really see class or classics even the humble Mini had a makeover but not the same is it.

Mike Etheridge 1 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Good photo of the Goldcrest Ultymate---I have not seen one for over a year. We did have a pair of Bull finches right by our patio door a few days ago but my camera failed to capture them as the battery was too low!

001 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 As bullfinches have been mentioned a couple of times this was in my garden briefly, so had to be taken quickly in poor light through a closed window. Excuse quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

001 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I was going through some old photos. In 1962 I was touring around South Wales on my Lambretta Ld 150 scooter and I took a photo of the Margam steelworks at Port Talbot, above the abandoned railway sidings. I cannot remember the camera but I think it was a 35mm Kodak Retina, but the quality looks more like a roll film camera. What is shown is about 25% of the full picture. I was also normally using colour at the time, so why it is in monochrome is a bit of a mystery! I have never been back there, but I tried to find the place that I took the photo from on Google Earth and with the help of a map. I found the road and the angle of I took it from. The row of terraced houses in the centre is still there, but there is no sign of any railway lines and the flat empty space is now streets of houses. The M4 now cuts through the centre of the original picture . The old locomotives are the main interest. Edited By Chris P.

Ultymate Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Thanks for the compliment Ken, as much as I enjoy my photography it defintely plays second fiddle to my flying athough thanks to the state of our strip at the moment outdoor flying is out apart from sloping on the Orme so it's mainly indoor at the moment. PS happy New Year to you and Yours also Edited By Ultymate on 05/01/2013 17:23:55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Posted by Rentman on 15/12/2012 00:04:24: Garbo, Have you noticed how the colours in the 2 rainbows are in the oposite order? Interesting optical phenomenon. Lovely photo. Indeed, that's how it always is with a double rainbow. The secondary rainbow is caused by double reflection of light within the water droplets and appears on the outside of the primary one. The colours are always in the opposite order, and it is dimmer than the primary rainbow - hence only sometimes noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Etheridge 1 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Well I wish I had Bill Brown's or Ultimate's cameras. Over the last few days there have been birds in the garden I don't normally see and I bet by next weekend when the RSBP survey takes place nothing special will turn up. For the last few days two Redwings and a Field fare have arrived in next door's front garden to feed off berries in a bush only a couple of feet above the ground. The Field fare is pictured ---at least I think it is a Field fare,I have not seen one before other than in Norfolk, certainly not in Croydon.

Ultymate Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 No Fieldfares for me or Redwings, I'm not a "twitcher" really more interested in the photographic challenge of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Etheridge 1 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I am not sure how you become a twitcher, perhaps by just joining the RSPB you become one? I certainly don't zoom around the country looking out for rare birds. However I have a friend who is a confirmed twitcher and last year we went to Slimbridge and spotted a rare Spoonbill plus other rare birds. I don't think I am completely hooked yet though?
