\"gorges<\/a>I was up on my favourite photography spot – the birdwatching centre or centre ornithologique<\/em> near St Gervais d’Auvergne – as night was falling, with the new Nikon D5000<\/a>\"\" camera and the tripod, taking some photos of the surrounding area.<\/p>\n

You’ve\u00a0heard me say on numerous occasions that it is one of the best views in France – away across the Gorge de la Sioule over to the Puy de Dome (on the extreme right)\u00a0and you’ve\u00a0seen plenty of photos taken from this spot before.
\n
<\/p>\n

\"gorges<\/a>But every photographer has his favourite spot where he can take photos for comparing different light conditions and also (it has to be said) different cameras and lenses. <\/p>\n

The result is that I’m reasonably impressed with what the Nikon managed to do under these conditions. That’s part of the Gorge de la Sioule down there and you can just about see the mist rising as the evening cools down.
\n
<\/p>\n

\"st<\/a>But the couple of long-range photos I took after dark with the tripod on a long exposure didn’t turn out so well. They are far too blurred and that was a disappointment. Late at night a light comes on at the top of the Puy and I was hoping for a decent image. <\/p>\n

I reckon that it is when I press the button on the camera that the tripod shakes and I need to overcome that. I’ll have to see if I can find a remote switch for the camera to operate it without touching the camera.
\n
<\/p>\n

I was down at that end of the area because Liz and I were working on our radio programme today. We are discussing motoring for the next month and it’s amazing just how much you learn. You’ll all have to listen in as it is extremely interesting. And if I could remember the link I would post it.<\/p>\n

While we were down there Terry was watching Ingerlund get thrashed by the Krauts. he isn’t impressed by Capello’s new defensive tactics. I did explain to Terry that it was what is known as “The Lego Defence”
“What’s that?” he asked
“It all comes apart in the box”.<\/p>\n
