In a previous post ('A walk in the wild... Britain?') I posted some photographs that I had taken whilst out walking with my dog, but wanted to get myself out dog-less and with a bit more time to sit and look. Today, in the glory of the first sunshine of the summer, I took out my camera and took a good long walk alone. I went to an area local to me - Cuckmere Haven and played about with a few different settings on my camera; I am by no means a photography expert, and am just trying to figure out my way around the camera! Here is what I came up with:
|
A close up image of a flower (not sure what type) |
|
Bumblebee's hold a special meaning for me, and it was lovely to capture one up close! |
|
I sat with this Little Egret for some time, watching him wandering through the water... Unfortunately I made a movement which scared him away. |
|
Attempting to catch a fish perhaps? With no success I'm afraid! |
|
I didn't manage to get a great shot of this black swan... I think it was at a bad angle in the light |
|
I believe this is a Green Finch... Unfortunately came out a bit blurred |
|
This is one for my big sister who loves blackbirds! |
|
An attempt at a close up on some smaller critters! I was fairly pleased with the results! |
|
A pretty little chaffinch! |
|
One of the easier animals of the day to capture! The only one that sat nice and still! |
|
I think this is a Lark, I watched it descend from the sky singing it's heart out! I managed to keep an eye on where it landed and get a little closer before it flew away. |
|
I've been trying to capture butterflies in flight, but not quite figured out how that should be done! |
|
I love seeing groups of birds in flight together... I'm not quite sure what these ones are! |
|
I spent ages trying to get an in-focus photo of a swallow! They were speeding around past me, and when I looked closer at the photographs I realised that they were carrying pieces of grass in their beaks... could they be nesting? |
|
Result! Swallows sat still! |
|
A low saturation portrait of Cuckmere beach. |
So I am very aware that my photographs aren't fantastic, but I'm practising what I can! Any advice would be very well taken :)
I hope you enjoyed!
