In the meantime I thought I would share a couple of Tern images taken at Rye Harbour NR a few years ago, using my old Olympus OM01 attached to a Kowa scope with a photo adaptor, shot on old fashion film and then the prints have been scanned, hence the grainy pictures.
Common Tern
Sandwich Tern
Happy wildlife watching. FAB
Well done Frank, you diserve an award.Great tern shots.

John.
There's a real quietness about these photos. Something so simple can bring such peace. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFirstly - I sincerely hope all goes well for you on Wednesday; I shall have everything crossed.
ReplyDeleteSecondly - have a really good and relaxing holiday and best wishes to you and Anita :D
Hmm, a post about terns on a post. Thanks for showing us the old school photos. I'm glad we don't have to wait for the lab, then go through the trouble of mucking with scanners any more. I really like your terns.
ReplyDeleteHurry back Frank.
John & Lisa. Thanks & glad you liked them.
ReplyDeleteTricia. Bless you.
Steve B. If things get tough I'm sure I could find a few more 'oldies'. Actually I do have a couple up my sleeve for another day!
I'm ALWAYS interested in terns - so great photos no matter how old!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic photos, but I especially like the last one.
ReplyDeleteI hope that your time away will be peaceful. You will be in my thoughts on Wednesday for sure. I have a British friend at work who says "vainits" (don't know how to spell it?!) when she crosses her fingers. Do you know the word? Regardless, I'm crossing my fingers for you! Cheers!
I hope all goes well with your work news and I REALLY hope you and Anita have a FABulous vacation.

One good tern deserves another....

ReplyDeleteFrank could I impose and ask you for a little help? I have been struggling now for two days trying to figure out how to impliment my award down the side panel of my blog...like you have done for your own. I have copied the link and tried putting it into a Text box, photo box everything I can imagine and when I save the information all I get is the code showing on my side panel not the picture...I'm having SEVERE brain fart problems!! I just can't figure it out...
