I recently did a bird photography presentation at the Thames Camera Club, and one of the things I shared with the club was the fact that you don’t have to go far to find birds to photograph. In fact you don’t even have to leave your house! In the last week I have been unable …
I have been doing a bit of traveling around with a fellow photog in the last week, and we found ourselves using our cameras in all sorts of different places. One place we stopped at was full of Spring flowers and while there were some birds about, it was the blossoms and the bees that …
I have been spending much of the lock down going through my archives and the camera didn’t get picked up very much at all. Yesterday I felt the need to get back to taking photos, so I cleaned our front window and pointed the camera out through it. Yes I could have actually gone outside …
