My friend Leanne told me today that she loves ducks. Where I took this photo there is a big duck pond with lots of little ducklings, and this little chap came over to say hello.

220509 : Anniversary

This week saw the anniversary of Henry VIII's 2nd wife, Ann Boleyn's execution for trumped up charges of adultery and incest. Although it's more likely he wanted rid because she couldn't produce the son he so desired, and so he tired of her. A reformist responsible for or inspiring so much - not to mention the most important event in British History - the Monarch's split from the Catholic church and including the introduction of grammar schools to England, Ann is without a doubt one of the most fascinating characters in British history.

Great snap of your nana, looks very happy!

Great angle of Mr George, background works very well.

NB. If there is any cheesecake left PM me your address ;)
 
Right, this lot should bring me bang up to date!

Fankoo! :)

Just been editing through some old photos I couldn't find from a few months ago. Found amongst them this one, a pic of a our friend's baby, Joe, who was born at 31 weeks at was 3lb 11oz and went down to 3lb 5oz shortly after birth. When these pictures were taken he was just over a month old and was still teeny, as you can see :) He's progressing really well and looks like he's going to be perfectly healthy *touches wood*

That's a super sharp shot of Bella, great angle.

Achtung!! Schnell!! A German ship, cool :)
 
Thanks :D

Right, yesterday's shot is from the christening I photographed a few weeks ago. I've been sorting through the photos and have come across this one. I think it's definitely one of my favourites, I hope you like it too. :)

This post will seem silly to some but I think others will get where I'm coming from.

I've never posted a shot like this before. I'm very critical of my own work and I find it hard to believe that people aren't just being nice about my photos - it's a failing in me, I have very little self confidence in me or my ability. One of the reasons I took so long to post on here was because I was constantly floored and put off by the quality of some of the photographs and photographers on here. However, this year, and largely due to this 365 (and of course the wonderful, constructive comments the TP forum members have put on), I'm taking steps that would have terrified me before.

I don't take or post photos like today's because people I know take far, far better shots of this subject and these buildings than I have and people I don't know will do as well - and theirs are better than I will ever achieve. But you know what, I'm going to take that as inspiration rather than a deterrent and post it anyway :p

It's not perfect, I know it's soft and the composition and light aren't right, but it's the best I can do for now - and that's what it's all about, right? :)

Hehe, very good. Love the details in the building, very photogenic. If I was there I would be taking a series of exposures for a HDR image :)
 
120609 :

Got a friend over for the weekend, so we had a nice few lazy days, visiting the cinema and taking the dog to visit some of her feathered friends in the park:

130609 : Then I asked her to pose near a tree so I could try out my new 70-200. See what I have to work with? :lol:

140509 : To be fair, she did stick her head around for long enough for me to get this shot, which I'm quite pleased with:
