Late photo opportunities at Stithians Demo Day

On what must have been the warmest, brightest and most still day of the year, came some stunning late afternoon sunlight. The optics demo day was successful with some 25+ people viewing through the best equipment on offer to date. By 4.30pm everyone had their fill, by which time the light was perfect for some eagerly awaited photography. The four shots below are the best of the day.

  1. Nice shots from Stiths today Steve. Pity I missed that Pecker! Still, it was a lovely weekend and a great day at Stiths.

  2. Lovely shot of a very elusive bird - I had no idea Stithians had woodpeckers - must check it out.
