This afternoon I’ve been hiding
I was watching a Wren around the Pond this afternoon.
A little Wren was jumping under the rocks and eating the bugs before deciding to jump into the Waterfall for a wash.
Normally, the Waterfall would be running a lot quicker, but as you can see, there’s a bit of blanket weed developed over the last week since the weather started to get warmer. I’m awaiting for some new filters to turn uo before cleaning it out. But the Wren doesn’t care, it was taking advantage of it.

Bad Light doesn’t always stop play
It’s been a pretty bad weekend for photography, a lot of the weekend was darker than the Eclipse last week. However, in the break between the heavy rain today, I was determined to get out and photograph some of the birds in the garden even though the light was pretty bad.
I’m quite happy with the results below which just goes to show, that bad light doesn’t really have to stop play. OK, they are not pin sharp and would never win any competitions, but it doesn’t matter if you’re out enjoying the hobby and the reason you do it. Some of the photos are quite high ISO too and the noise is quite well contained for a Crop Sensor Camera.
A sort of failed river walk today
Decided to go for a walk along a the River Dove this evening in open countryside in the hope that there would be something interesting along the river banks during the Golden Hour, but all I found was water and mud.
So heading back I saw a silhouetted figure of a Rook sitting on top of an old dead tree, so thought it would make a nice high contrast black and white photo. Also did a couple of Lens Compression Sunsets. I couldn’t decide which one of the 2 I liked most, so have shared them both.

Testing the Nikon 300mm f/2.8 VRII
I was out a few days ago testing my new 300mm f/2.8 VRII lens.
As you can see from the photos, it’s pretty sharp. Although a big lump of a lens you can hand hold it. More info on this great lens coming soon!
