OK, so I thought my photography needs some improvement. This PAD discipline should be fun, although I am not 100% sure I will be able to maintain a picture a day, but I will aim for at least several per week.
All feedback welcome, particularly constructive criticism.
Went for a walk along the river Main in Frankfurt where I found a family of Greylag geese with 3 goslings.
The image is a little soft due to camera shake - I hadn't taken my Image Stabilising lens and instead had my old Sigma 70-300 which I haven't used for a while, and I allowed the shutter speed to drop too much...
I can't resist this type of shot of some regular structure shot with a telephoto lens, although I don't usually like long exposures of running water. I don't think I have quite managed to acheive what I wanted with this so will probably go back another time and try it again.
Playing with Macro again and following on from yesterdays theme, this time a 500 Euro note which is deceptively similar in overall colour to a 20 Pound Sterling note.
Detail of the hologram which has sparkled nicely under the flash (more).
Took my youngest son Louis (age 5) to London Zoo and the first animals he wanted to see were the reptiles and snakes. This Gaboon Viper was conventiently posing in it's tank.
I had the lens up close to the wire cage and after a couple of more normal shots this Toucan started looking at me, I think this is the best shot I got
Went with my eldest son Oliver (age 7). He was taking photos for the first time ever (see Oliver's first photos) with my D70 while I was playing with my new Macro flash bracket. This is one of my efforts - because of the attention span of a 7 year old I was not using a tripod and hence my pictures suffered from framing problems, this one has just missed the full circle of thid dandelion flower.
