Kit Inspection

[JohnC]

I was at the side of the Frampton lake when a group of sheep decided my camera bag was worthy of inspection. I quickly grabbed  some photos. I was sitting with the tripod and bag and turned round to find myself face to face with the sheep lol. I moved away hoping to catch them before they moved on. The lamb has the feather of a Barnacle goose in it's mouth- it dropped it a second after the shot.

Nice one John... Although it looks like your bag is about to get munched in 3.

Lol..yes..There was an apple in there - a Granny Smith.  I was sitting there with the 100-400  so when I got up  I had to keep walking backwards to get the range and I didn't really  take care composing properly. They must be so used to people not bothering them. When I say I turned round and they were there I mean I turned my head from the lake view and the older sheep was about 12 inches from my face staring at me - I said. "HI, how are you" lol.. Didn't get an answer though but it just ignored me and went to nose in my camera bag  then when the others saw no danger they came over too. TBH it was  great little experience, then they just meandered off. It was so funny.

Super shots - I reckon the lamb has just eaten a goose.
The best shots happen when you least expect them.
The ones you plan aren't always the keepers.

I will second John....Super shots!. That looks like a delightful location John for nature photography, I'm sure you had a great time there.  Nice Swan in the background too.

Thanks guys BUT me being me I'm beating myself up for not getting down to the level of the lamb..Looks like I got down for the sheep though.  With the lamb ,no, I don't think he'd just eaten a Canada goose Lol.. I could see that any second he would spit that feather out and I saw it as I walked backwards to get the others into range. and yes, it's true, some of the best shots are the unexpected ones.
