How Killakoala sees Blues Point and other perspectives :)

A gallery of 14 pics i took on Saturday at our Mini-Meet and the Blues Point long lens shoot.
I used two different lenses only;
1. Nikon 500mm F8 reflex mirror lens.
2. Nikon 70-300mm G lens. (Thanks LouieK)
Two of the photos are from Birdies back garden, all the rest at Blues Point.
There's two of the bridge walkers for our friendly competition.
All the colours, exposures and textures are intentional. There is some (what i consider) nice high ISO effects on some of the pics that were shot at ISO640. All photos had PP in Capture or Photoshop or both.
Also one photo that proves it is possible to take nice portraits with a 500mm lens.
A big thankyou to Louie for loaning me the 70-300mm lens to try out and to MattK, MJ and Stubbsy for posing for two of the shots. Also if anyone knows the name of the young lady who i also shot could you get me her name and number please.
PS. One thing i learnt whilst doing the post processing is that it is very difficult to remove specks of dust on your monitor using the 'clone stamp' tool. 
I hope you enjoy some or all of the pics.
