LE GUET

The 100 year old man made forest above Cobo Bay. Some rare pines were planted in the 1920's, obtained through Kew Gardens only to be destroyed by fires. The Montery pines were used to fill the gaps and this is what you see today.

Technically there are a few issues with this image but I liked the strong, atmospheric light shining on the landscape.

Still working on the 'perfect' butterfly shot. The wind was against me on this with the grass moving quite vigorously. Only 2 out of 25 shots were properly focused!

Rainy day photography doesn't have to be as dull as the weather. I love reptiles so decided to head back to the aquarium to give Iggy a mini shoot. The only real challenge was composing through glass with a prime which has its limitations!

Went out for a quick shoot before breakfast this morning. I've had this one in mind for a while and was 50/50 whether I could get it to work or not.

Butterfly season is well and truly underway. Around every corner you can almost guarantee one will fly past you. Getting one to land where you want it too is just a matter of patience.

Spend most of the day with the family celebrating and eating lots of food. The holy grail was the pig slowly roasting in the background. This is why I could never be a vegetarian.

5 hours. That's how long I have spent in the last two weeks hunting down a resting dragonfly and finally one landed right next to me. Not my best shot but certainly not my last attempt this year.

The sea was almost like a mirror this evening. Hardly a breath of wind and still hitting 24 degrees. Lush! A pretty simple image, I just wanted to show the giant waves lapping at the shore with the buoy for scale :)

Perfectly still morning over GY1 with the odd ripple in the water from the yachtsmen wandering around.
Composing for a mirrored image is not as easy as it seems.

GOLDFINCH

Standing around, waiting for a dragonfly to do another flyby (which it didn't) and this Goldfinch landed metres away from me. Problem was I took one step closer and it flew away!
