Here’s a sitting duck; or rather, a sitting female grouse.
I managed to quickly snap a picture of this notorisouly stupid bird before it garbled off into the purple heath.
I hope she didn’t meet her demise soon afterwards.
I call this one: Target Practice

It was pretty cold yesterday, and as a tiny person, I prefer to nap in front of the fire than brave the cold winds in February.
But, my boyfriend managed to convince me to go for a walk around Ampthill Park. I’m glad I did because I got some awesome shots of his son flying his 6ft kite.
Everyone at the park seemed to be in awe of this kite ripping through the air lifting my boyfrind’s son off the ground – including one dog who barked tirelessly at the kite (you’ll see the little scamp below!). Even I had a go but I was nearly blown away and never seen again
Like I said, I got some awesome shots, so I’ve got a couple of photos for you today – but here’s my favourite:

I get the impression this dog didn’t like his owner as he wouldn’t leave my side. I like his face:
And here’s a really cute couple sitting on Breakheart hill:
Hope you liked these : )
As soon as I upgraded to a DSLR I was desperate to create beautiful imagery with beautiful depth of field.
There’s something that draws me to a picture where the atmosphere has been captured from the focal point of something within the scene. Kind of like an internal framing mechanism. But maybe there’s a technical photographic term for it.
Anyway, this is what I’ve attempted to do with today’s picture. In the foreground, a scavenger looks at me, whilst also looking out to Brighton Pier. I’ve called it “Crow Fair”
I caught the worm this morning with this stunning picture of the sunrise.

The colours are so vivid, the shot required limited edits in Photoshop. All be it a little tweak with the contrast and levels.
I’ve called it pink elephant because it reminds me of the “trippy” drunk scene in Dumbo. Possibly still one of the finest montages in the history of animated film.
Here it is for your pleasure:
Greetings from my sick bed. I roused myself to bring you this fine little number.
That’s dedication right there: in a snap shot.
So, in the spirit of “britishness”, a stiff upper lip and other clichés, here it is:
To achieve this washed out look, I added a couple of adjustment layers (see below). The most dramatic was the Black and White Layer, with a custom tint in this shade: #d1caba
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s photo !
