Shooting a wedding yesterday on board the SS Great Britain, just going through some of the formals such as this...


and didn`t even see this coming - only 40 seconds (going by the times on the camera) after that first shot - really heavy hail. good fun though, made for a good fun shot.

That did make for a fun and unique shot, one I am sure will be special to the couple.

nice shots - I'm sure they will remember the hail with a laugh, they look a happy couple

p.s. I like the fact you carried on shooting as the hail came down - a true pro :- )

That's a really special shot from the day.

Talking about not seeing things coming, I was so wrapped up following some Amur leopard cubs around the enclosure yesterday that I didn't see the mother come towards me and didn't hear the shouted warnings from everyone around me. The mother took a swipe at me through the cage, but fortunately didn't use her claws. The real bummer, though, is that nobody got a shot of it.

Ah Amur Leopard cubs - wonderful looking things and very rare as well - where did you go to see those ?

Sorry about the threadjack - but hey these are rare leopard cubs you know :- )

What a wonderful capture, Mark... that shot will be a unique remembrance for them. I love the candid nature of the shot. Truly very nice work!

Sounds like me! I've been told a million times that I'll probably die by a large cat (most likely a lion) because I was photographing something else and not paying attention! Glad you didn't get hurt!

As for the wedding photos, the second one is great! nice work!

Both excellent shots. I'm sure they'll love them.
