The cat with the vase is suspect...look at the angles and the speed/shape of the water

I reckon thats been photoshopped

FFS, contribute to the thread or ignore it. If it has been doctored, that in itself just shows how clever some people are.

Does a fire ball in mid air count?

I took this last night if it does

I thought I had 'contributed' or is 'contributing' only providing praise?...my 'contribution' was pointing out that the vase picture doesnt look like it was 'captured in a nanosecond'...its a good job people on here dont just ignore threads that they feel they have nothing to praise..what a dull place it would be.

And as soeone who dabbles in photo manipulation and restoration I take my hat off to whoever the 'photo' was down to..

As the the other pictures I thought they were magnificent...especially 1,2 and 6

Is that ok?

My parents live in an area with a massive wild parakeet population, and as no-one outside of Surrey seems to believe these exotic birds are so common in the area I thought I'd film some to show the doubters back home.

I was stood 20 feet away at the time and had to rerun the video just to check what happened as I wasn't really sure what I'd just seen!

To record it, it has to happen
