Incredible photos, square or otherwise. I love the way you lay some of the pictures on top of a complimentary background, the Emus especially! How do you always find such fantastic skies? We need you to give us an inspiring show at the Yeovil Camera Club, we have access to a digital projector now. Hope to hear from you soon Chris.
