Damselfly

Damselfly resting on a blade of grass at Leighton Moss RSPB wildlife reserve
Taken in June 2009 this shot of a damselfly on a rain-splashed blade of grass is one of my favourite of all Kieran's images.  He would love to know what others think about it too.  Please leave your comments.

Buzzards in the blue

buzzards high up in the blue sky
Not the clearest shot as the buzzard on the right is a little undefined but given the distance that he was from the subject Kieran was quite happy with the result.  This particular image demonstrates the power of the zoom function on the SX110is.

Campsite sunset

caravans taken at sunset in Scalby, Scarborough
As always, this image is unedited.  I'm not sure that it works completely as it stands.  Perhaps the caravans appear a little too dark?  Comments and suggestions for improvements most welcome.

Successful fledglings

After the disappointing year we had last year when two of our three baby blue tits died in the nest we were delighted this year to have completely successful fledglings.  The blue tit shown here is one of the parents of this year's brood.  Unlike the photos in the previous postings which were shot on a Canon Powershot SX110is this one was captured with the Canon EOS 300D.

Raindrops

raindrops on a blade of grass at the RSPB wildlife reserve at Leighton Moss
Today's photo was taken on a hazy summer's day way back in June this year at Leighton Moss RSPB reserve.  Kieran wasn't sure he had captured what he had in mind but overall he was pleased with the result.  Please, let us have your comments.

First published photo!

It seems remarkable that the first image that we decided to upload onto this new blog has also turned out to be the first image Kieran has had published.  In all fairness, Kieran had no idea that I'd submitted it for publication but obviously he was delighted with the result.  Comments would be most welcome.
