048:365 School Holidays

Todays shot comes from Beecraigs where Scott and I had a wander around and he shot off a couple of frames on the 5x4.

I had planned to do a lot of bird shots when here as the last time we visited there was a little Robin running about at our feet.

I tried lying on the ground (on my plastic backed matt) but didn't really get much but as i walked across to get Scott i seen this parent and child out on their holidays on one of the bridge walls and snapped away

these were taken at around 200mm

017:365 I Wish I Could Fly

My daughter Caron and I went for a wander down the canal today so that she could feed the swans and ducks...but despite walking a good amount of the canal there were none to be found so we ended up throwing the broken up half loaf of bread for the seagulls.

This is a full frame uncropped image, so i'm really happy with the framing, although i do feel it's a touch soft, mainly due to the shutter speed and the speed it was moving at, in hindsight i would have increased the ISO a touch to get a sharper image.

I'm beginning to quite like images of birds also, something i never ever though i would have.
