Oh Tiggy sorry to hear hope you get some good news soon. Gorgeous! Love the one of two of them 'kissing'

Thanks everyone, I've been pretty sad all day but also remembering all the things about him that made him such a cool cat :)

Sorry to hear Rosie and Ness are still not 100% I woke up to a sad email from my friend in the UK who took on our two other cats when we left - my Mr Baghee Boo died yesterday She said he was a bit quiet in the morning, but stretched, purred and took a treat from her, but when they got home he was in the same spot but had died He was 'only' about 12, not an old cat, so not sure what it was. The only good thing is it seemed fairly peaceful. RIP Baghee - We will all miss your head butts, especially Betsy

Those are really lovely Kritta, I look forward to seeing more :D

Brilliant captures :D The poor dark one with the red collar looks like it ended up with a face full of sand! :laugh:

MG that's great news about Gibbs

Super photos as usual :) The colours on the nudibranch are amazing, and love the cleaner wrasse shot :D

Cute little Jumper - I love those little spiders, good capture :D

Awwwww that is lovely :)

That was me :laugh: but thanks anyway :) Thanks for the info Ripley, if I photograph birds it's usually ones that are fairly easy I guess, just opportunistic shots if they are around when I am out with my camera :laugh: I'm currently leaning towards the Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 L IS USM, not as fast as the 70-200's but I've been seeing some cracking shots with it wide open at 300mm, and this is what I'm not getting with the Tamron, and the IQ seems superb. It seems a bit daft to spend $1000 extra to basically replace what I have with the same, but I like the fact it's also weather sealed (useful for when we head back to the uk!), lighter and more compact than the 70-200 and it would be nice to try a bit of 'L' glass :) I looked at the 100-400, but it's been around for years now and sounds like a new version is due out soon? If I really get into wildlife photography then I'll maybe save up for a 400mm prime? Thanks for all the info everyone :)

Thanks for the responses guys, more consideration needed I fear! Too much choice, not enough cash :laugh:

What didn't you like about them Tess? I know the real solution is buy something like a prime 400mm, but one step at a time ;) Oh and what are you selling and for how much? :)

She is gorgeous and loooks like she is settling in wonderfully :) Lovely photos of the two of them too :D

Awwwwww FM thanks for the update They have grown into absolute beauties They must make you laugh everyday! How are Mum and Dad doing?

Well I'm contemplating selling my Tamron 70-300 VC zoom for the Sigma 70-200 F2.8 EX DG OS HSM (I would love the Canon Mk II version of this but can't justify the extra $1000!) However I do like wildlife/bird photography and feel I may miss the long end of the Tamron, so was wondering about a Kenko 2x Teleconverter? Does anyone use a teleconverter and how practical do you find it? My Tamron has been great as a first upgrade from the kit zoom, but after a year I now feel like I would benefit from a faster lens with improved IQ, so if anyone here also has the Sigma lens I'd love to know how you are finding it too. Cheers :D

But just wanted to say another huge Lightroom fan here :) I've found a few freebie presets I like, but then tend to tweek them and save them as my own :)

Hope you get more rest tonight Grumpy Chops :laugh: How's Cider doing? I slept till 11am yesterday Still felt crap most of yesterday, but feel a lot better today, so think the long sleep must have helped :D Louis also slept in with me till then as OH had gone off to work, lazy bugger :laugh: MG, hope all is ok with Gibbs :)

Argh not the thread I need to see at the moment! Just trying to stop an 'I want this lens' itch and CameraPro have it at a great price! :laugh:

OMG too gorgeous! Thanks Ptolomy :D

Congratulations I can't believe that bundle of fluff I saw in Byford is now a proud dad :D Glad it all went well p.s. Some of us are allergic to FB, so when you have time, a pic on here would be lovely :) eta - I wont make it to the trial tomorrow RS and MG, still feeling crap, barely made it through a day in the office today, so think I need a duvet day tomorrow :)

Keep them coming, gorgeous kitties :D Love Mighty Harry, and as I think I've said before he always reminds of my old boy Baghee, especially the mouth :)

:p
