  • Ducks, Geese and Swans

    There was a lot of activity over at the Pond the other day and it was a lovely sunny day too. I took my Stylus1 camera with me as I’m more familiar with it for ‘landscapes’ than my new E-OM10 , which I tend to use for my indoor macro efforts. It has got a…

  • Water Birds

    Another visit to the Ifield Pond – there have been some great changes made by the local council and I can now walk around the lake without getting shoes wet or muddy. The new walkway , although a bit of an eyesore if you want to photograph a distance view of the scenery, is nonetheless…

  • Pond [er] Again

    As well as buying a new camera I went mad and bought an updated version of my Paintshop Pro software – x6.  I tinkered around a bit with the colour on these duck images. They were  in dappled shade which I quite liked, but I think I could probably have got more light within the…

  • Enjoying the Sunshine

  • Another Walk

      Went for another walk to the same lakeside with a friend yesterday.  Happened to see this little chap along the way. He stayed for ages [observing us I guess]  so I was able to take my time getting shots of him.   I hadn’t realised till I uploaded this from my camera that this…
