Lovely set we could almost have been stood together about 3 weeks apart! Nice job on the panning shots,i do enjoy doing that at LN especially when light is so dull you have nothing to lose really,although I wasn`t brave enough on the have glas bird as it only flew once lol

Thank you!! It isn't the easiest but often rewarding especially as the light can be tough! Didn't have time to adjust for the Have Glass, it is the one decent shot I got of it!
