Hi Everyone,

So it's been a bit quiet for you all recently on the timings of CoS closing. I've not been online for about two months now, for a host of reasons. Lots of things are happening at the moment that have prevented me from being on CoS for some time and may continue you do so for the foreseeable future.

The good news (if it is such) is that CoS won't be closing when I had planned (end of July). I've far too much going on in my life to dedicate time to it, so for now I am going to pencil in the Autumn months to explore feasibility.

Continue to talk about the closure here and just carry on for now and watch this space. I'll update when I have some firm dates on when things can change.

Kind regards,

Matt

OMG! How did you even spot that!

Those are amazing pics I love how you captured all that detail! I am so impressed. I have no eye for photography, I need to watch and learn from you guys here!

Easy, i saw the snail trawling across the patio, thought to myself "Ooh i can use the macro feature on my telephoto zoom lens". By the time i'd taken off the kit lens for my Canon EOS 400D, the Snail had got to eating the flower.
It was just a matter of focusing on the snail and waiting for the right moment to press the shutter button. I've been going through the motions lately in regards to photography. But every once in a while i produce shots like those. At the moment i'm looking at photographs by really good photographers and trying to reserve engineer the shots. It's one of the best ways to learn apparently.

Macro photography is pretty amazing, when you get the right shots.

Re: This could cause an overload of cuteness
I like two and three best. Number two is simply adorable.
But how are them people able to get that close to the geese (especially when they have babies around)? Around here they chase after you if you get too close.
