LRPS

I had my LRPS panel assessed at Focus on Imaging at the beginning of this week, and am very happy and relieved that it passed. Here are the pictures from the panel, hanging plan at the bottom. Spending spree on new equipment to celebrate...

Fen Drayton Part 2

A couple more pictures from our trip to Fen Drayton Lakes just before New Year.

Fen Drayton Lakes

We took a trip to Fen Drayton Lakes just before new year. A relatively new RSPB reserve in the remains of some old gravel pits. It was quite a dull day and not much in the way of exciting bird life, but some nice evening sunshine on the dead teasel heads.

Dubrovnik Part 1

So I've finally got round to starting on the pictures from Dubrovnik. Having fun playing with Silver Efex as well. There's plenty more to come so stay posted...

Silver Efex

I know it's been absolutely ages since I've posted here and for that I apologise. I  my defence, August and September have been crazy spent moving house, writing my dissertation, moving house again, going on holiday and getting engaged.

However, we are now into October, I am free as a bird and have loads of photos to edit (pictures soon to come of recent holiday to Dubrovnik). I also have some shiny new software to play with! I downloaded a trail of Nik Silver Efex and have spent the day playing with it. Here are some examples of my first attempts. For comparison, I've also put up one of the same pictures edited in Elements 8 from earlier this year. Please let me know what you think....

Bristol Zoo Part 4 - Lorikeets

Dissertation writing is getting in the way of more enjoyable things like editing photos, so please forgive the long delays between posts. Another four weeks and it'll all be over and I'll have four months to do nothing by photography.

More from Bristol Zoo here. They have a 'Feed the Lorikeets' enclosure, where you can go in with little cups of liquid feed and the minute you enter the birds swarm all over you.

We went to the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta yesterday so lots of pictures of that to come soon.

Bristol Zoo Part 3 - Meerkats

Apologies that it's been so long since I posted here, it's been very busy recently and I just haven't really had time to edit photos. Here are some more from Bristol Zoo from the meerkat house. More to come soon, including lemurs and pictures from Bletchley Park, so stay tuned!
