Swan Dreams

I often overhear tourists describing the swans as elegant and graceful but in a city park in winter they often just form an ungainly squabble for bread. I attempted to re-capture their elegance again by using long shutter speeds and deliberate over-exposure.

Autumn in slow motion

These autumn blurs were all created in camera using slow shutter speeds with various maneuvers during the exposure.

A cool morning fog

Since the weekend, fog has been forming around London. In towards the centre of the city it has not quite been 'pea soup' but it lingered long enough for me to take these images before the sky cleared to blue for capturing the Starlings below.

Starlings: Frozen in Flight

More success this weekend with capturing Starlings in flight! This time I used a Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flashgun with a diffuser.

The Art of Extinction

There's only three days left of the Ghosts of Gone Birds art exhibtion in London and if you live locally I really recommend a visit. It features around 200 works from over 120 artists, writers and musicians created to highlight the plight of threatened and near-extinct species as well as remembering those now gone forever. The exhibition is at Rochelle School, Arnold Circus, Shoreditch, London E2 7ES. Admission is free but donations and sales will go towards BirdLife International’s Preventing Extinctions programme.
