G'day,
Good photo's of the kids :-), the first pic would be interesting in B&W...

The swan seems to have an attitude good capture of his (or her?) eyes, and that bull-ant looks a mean mongrel..... Was the ant taken with a macro lens, as it's very detailed? I'd be tentative getting to close to that one!

Cheers,
Mudder

Oneputt,
I love to be the owner of the chopper in the pics No:#1
And love to have her to be in the co-pilot seat as number 2
And wish my bas is more bigger to house the number 3.
Nice pics and are my favorites.

Flyer - nice pics of (your?) children and the master of the macro does it again - great bull ant

Oneputt - nice sharp pics of my favourite colour - (hint hint) keep posting plane pics and you will be a friend of Birddogs for life. BTW what lens?

Thanks Oneputt - if you used both lens for the 3 pics it would be very hard to pick which is which!! :roll:

Great shots mate :wink:

I can see the attraction of no2, Nice plane!!!!!
The image of the little Roberson chopper is great, there are a popular kit even though they have a tendency to fall out of the sky for no apparent reason :shock:

Cheers
Ray :P

Thank you Mudder.
I think you are right, I might play with B&W later.
The swan had an attitude alright - attacked me couple of times after this photo:

You are right about the bull ant - it was taken with Sigma 105 EX.
The ant was actually just sitting on a chain-link fence about half-a-meter of the ground so it was quite easy to photograph.

Thanks Chris.
They were my friends kids, not mine.
And I don't know about the master of macro title. Still have a looong way to go. :D
