Way2Go Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 We just got back from a week in mid-Wales. Fabulous weather and a really brilliant week off. We spent a couple of days at Gigrin Farm where they feed the Red Kites at 3pm every day and for a small fee you can photograph them from a hide. I'm happy to provide the location and web site link should anyone want to get up there for some amazing photography. This is what I shot:- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way2Go Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 duffers - 2009-09-13 5:08 PM beautifully done, what's your camera? Thanks very much. I used a Canon 10D with a Canon 100-400mm lens. During our stay at Gigrin Farm http://www.gigrin.co.uk/ we decided to upgrade the Canon 10D to the new Canon 50D which I'm really excited about.Looks like I'll be selling the old 10D body on ebay?W2G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Way2Go Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 colin - 2009-09-13 8:13 PM You took a lot better photo's than we managed too. This is best gf got :-( Oh I had quite a few of those Colin. The little blighters move so quickly its quite difficult to get them framed quickly enough. I was using a fast shutter speed and the weather appeared to have been much better than on the day you went.W2G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was brilliant Carol. We had a few days close to the Black Country Museum - which was very interesting - then a couple of days at Gigrin Farm followed by a couple of days at an undisclosed location which is already difficult to get in to without more people knowing about it ;-) So that puppy is gonna be kept as a secret.W2G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W3526602 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Hi, Driving down the road and watched a kite drop down towards the opposite carriage way. Luckily he changed his mind, else the car he had just flown over, would have driven over him. I bet the driver of that car had a surprise as the bird only just cleared his windscreen on the way down ......from behind. 8-) What do you mean "Duck!" That wasn't a duck. 602 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveH Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 These pictures are stunning - really good - never managed to get anything like it when we were in mid Wales a couple of years ago. Think I may have to go back again. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Way2Go Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks Clive - much appreciated.Good luck with your next photo shoot. It's a great location anyway, what with the Elan Valley being reachable within a few minutes, and Gigrin Farm now runs a small 15 van site.This was the view from our pitch :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 We've stayed at Grigrin farm couple of times, last time week leading up to easter it was wet and we had to park next to barn at top of field, no problem, but we wanted to fill tank on early start, no chance as tap was at bottom of field. Also wanted to empty waste tank but drain was behind that fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
