    Pinhole Exeter Cathedral

    28 September 2009 // Comments Off

    I spent a couple of hours in Exeter wandering around with the pinhole adapter. I received some funny looks from people and several comments letting me know I didn’t have a lens on the camera. It was a lot of fun to use.

    ZapCat Racing

    26 September 2009 // No Comments »

    I joined some of the guys from the Amateur Photographer forum at Watergate Bay for the ZapCat racing. It was a great day out and an incredible event, highly recommended, very exciting racing with loads of thrills and spills. To get close enough to the action we ended up standing knee-deep in the sea.

    One of my favourite birds and I’m delighted to have finally taken some pictures of one.

    I could hear it calling in the field just behind the house, grabbed my camera and manage to get a couple of shots.

    Golden-ringed Dragonfly

    I nipped down to Hartland Fishing Club to have a look for dragonflies this morning. I found several but this was the first time I’d seen a Golden-ringed Dragonfly and I’m quite pleased with the results.

    It’s been ages since I did any photography and was getting withdrawal symptoms. Spending an hour in the garden feeding and watching the birds did the trick.
