docholiday Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Well folks had a bad run with health, had a leg in plaster, developed a DVT and a pulmonary embolus, thought my number was up, but after 6 days in the Cardiac High Dependency Unit, and a couple of days on the wards I am back home alive and recovering. have missed the photography and all your work so its good to be back, albeit just taking shots in the garden from the kitchen, off work for the next two months so the forum will help pass the time, It may only be a House sparrow but its a big step for me. hope to get some more shots and get out into the forrest again in the near future. ps still havnt been able to drive the new Land Rover yet, will report as soon as I do David Edited April 6, 2012 by docholiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catweazle Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Sounds rough Doc, chin up and hoping you'll be well soon. Nice sparrow If you can't get about much perhaps you could have a play with macro lenses instead ? I have little experience myself, but have played with two zoom lenses joined front-to-front with a threaded ring, it works ( of sorts ) if you haven't got a pukka macro lens.

Kes Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 All the very best for a speedy and thorough recovery - have missed the pics. Glad we are not to miss them permanently. Take time in recovery - there's plently of stuff to shoot out there which isnt going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
