Obsession

Photographing birds in flight has become something I want to get to grips with. The common advice is start with large, slow birds. So I tried to digitise some swallows...

Lapwings are bigger, but very erratic...

There have been other photo ops along the way too...

All change

Back in January one place I'd looked at was a featureless snow-covered wasteland, the other day it looked somewhat different. Although it still looked confusingly snowy!

Bugger the birds

The technical challenge of photographing birds is all well and good, but I'm not a technical sort of photographer and the artistic challenge was missing. So, after failing to pixelise any birds I nipped out to try and make the most of the evening sun. Not with much success, but it was good to be using my eyes to spot compositions again - rather than feathers.
