Devon

My epic holiday to Woolacombe beach.  I really enjoyed  my holiday. I saw seals, oystercatchers , a spider crab (it was massive!!!) , blenny fish , a kestrel and best of all I saw dolphins on a boat trip to Lundy island ( unfortunately I was unable to photograph them because they were so fast) . Here are some of my shots:

Harcourt Aboretum

Today I went to Harcourt Aboretum to photograph grass hoppers and birds of prey. It was challenging to photograph the red kite that was soaring low across the fields because the conditions were very bright. Here is what I managed to get:

 

 

Photography worskshop at WWT London Wetland Centre with Iain Green

Wow!  The photography course was great.  Iain Green taught me how to use my camera and improve my photography skills.  I learnt how to set up and plan a good shot.  He mentioned that in wildlife photography having an animals eyes in focus is a key thing.  I ended up photographing more flowers than animals on the day. 




Here are some of the results:


My best photo of the day!
