<p>Greetings Canon Lovers,<br>

Robin is still on vacation. Hope you're having a good time and getting lots of great images. Lets see what kind of good time everyone else is having. A day in the woods with fungi is always a good day. Slippery <em>Hygrocybe psittacina </em>shows off its layer of goo.</p><div></div>

<p>It's been a busy week with a good deal of writing and some photography too.<br />Last weekend was a tournament for university Officer Training Corps polo teams and yesterday was a small inter-service tournament.<br /> As a little break, I managed to get out to the Thames to see the Royal Swan Uppers at Cliveden.<br />But no swans, alas.<br>

<br /> <strong>All of these were taken with a 7D2+100-400</strong><br /> <a title="University OTC Polo Tournament" href=" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/499/19246534933_95b11f7348_b.jpg" alt="University OTC Polo Tournament" width="800" height="533" /></a><br /> <a title="Leadership and Excellence Polo Tournament" href=" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/464/19941486651_64e8441dff_b.jpg" alt="Leadership and Excellence Polo Tournament" width="800" height="533" /></a><br /> <a title="Royal Swan Uppers" href=" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/380/19701302218_8a8d1cabe9_b.jpg" alt="Royal Swan Uppers" width="800" height="533" /></a><br>

<p>Late again, work keeps getting in the way of photography.<br>

Jan, good to see you're still getting out with the camera.<br>

I have problems with red in photos too; I kept getting overexposed reds, so now I deliberately underexposed red subjects.</p><div></div>
