Thanks Keith, I have to be honest no one was my particular target I was just hanging about until the crossing looked fairly evenly populated and then snapped.

I took a family who'd never been to the seaside to Saltburn today. The weather was poor but they enjoyed it and one of the kids said it was "the best day ever." We'll have to arrange another trip in better conditions.
There was a film crew and the theme was "Surfers against sewage"
Surf boards for hire.
Limited visibility.
Keeping the flag flying.
Lovely flowers.
Actually these pictures make the conditions look better than they were
It really was miserable weather.

Andrew, I didn't realise that you wanted Critique until I saw your comment on another thread, as it's not usual on here anymore - the way to improve flower images is to ensure the light is good, a flash with a diffuser really helps, use a tripod, manual focus with a dedicated "macro" lens and IF you want a sharp image along the depth of field eventually start to stack images - use a high fstop, say f16 as that you will get more in focus than with the wider fstops - but at this fstop you will be struggling for light, hence the flash and diffuser - a high shutter speed also helps - maybe work up to the full rig gradually
MF macro lens are not expensive - I use a 55mm f3.5 old Nikkor which must be 50 years old with a home made flash diffuser and you can buy a big cheap tripod as the heavier the better for such shots
Flower and insect photography is addictive and time consuming
Good luck
I've taken a lot in the past and here are a couple - plus there are a lot of experts around with marvellous images which take time to achieve

After deliberating for weeks on end, finally decided to ask my wife for the Canon RF100-400mm rather than go crazy on the 100-500mm. I'm thinking that homing in on macro style pictures might be 'my thing' as family also bought me set of extension tubes to experiment with.

Thanks mate.
They have been refurbishing the local recreation park for several months now, The footpath is getting it's final rubberized coat, and to ensure a proper job, it's being done by hand.` He's only about another mile to go.
And one from my walk along the canal, both images taken on my phone.

It is a small Cactus, the only thing I could find around the house, need to buy the wife some more flowers lol, gets me some brownie points and gives me something to shoot .
Thanks Andy

A walk after work between the showers.
The Spring plants are taking over the paths, and insects enjoying the wet weather.
Pana G80 and 12-60mm in gloomy conditions.
