More rough than fairway. A part of Church Stretton golf course seen (June 2007) from the public footpath.  IMG_0022.jpg by Pete, on Flickr looks like this was posted APForum in December 2020. |

This doesn't stand close scrutiny because the camera shake is terrible. Once used to image stabilisation .... It is a bit of a shock to find bad shake at 1/17 s on 35 mm (equivalent) with a non-stabilised camera (X100V) when I could fairly certainly have held a 300 mm (equivalent) with fuji IBIS + OIS. Annoying because if I had realised at the time I could have put the ISO up a couple of stops. The contrast between the rough bark and the ivy was pleasing at the time. I might go back and have another try if I can remember where exactly it was. Taken at Ness Gardens (November 22nd, so quite new).  DSCF0871.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

It was near a river so I was perhaps able to get low down relatively speaking. I have great trouble getting up, even if I can get down in a controlled way. This comes to mind only because I saw it the other day while scanning for something else  DSCF6135.jpg by Pete, on Flickr Same day, hundred or so yards away. Almost certainly from a sitting position because I remember sitting on the rocks and waiting for the dipper to come closer  DSCF6131.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |

I've yet to get as good a shot of one yet! Tricky little blighters. |

You did well with the dipper. I've yet to get as good a shot of one yet! Tricky little blighters. I still haven't got a good one. The photo has been posted before on APForum. Steve (Bazarchie) was keen to get a photo, I think he did get a good one in the end, on this river on the stretch between Bellever Forest (this shot) and Postbridge. This dipper was quite flighty. I missed a good opportunity. It had flown off and I was walking upstream, camera over my shoulder, toward where the toadstool was found, when the Dipper overtook me! |

Somebody else getting down, (my body doesn't bend too well these days)
Any guesses on who the bug hunter might be?

This must have been taken from a low position. I'd rated it as not-quite reject because it is obscured by out-of-focus grass but it is quite pleasing. Ruddy Darter on grass (July 2023). I did go out with a camera today but I decided that I didn't feel agile enough to get into the spirit of things so today's photo-score is 0.  DSCF4898.jpg by Pete, on Flickr |
