Pretty peacock

Posted on May 20, 2014 by myeye1

I love the dazzling colours of a male peacock. I’ve posted photos of peacocks before but this one was so tame I was able to get right up close and take a photo of it’s amazing plummage and crest.

Yellow fish

Posted on March 12, 2014 by myeye1

I took this photo when I went to London Sea Life recently. It’s so difficult trying to take a decent photo of any of the fish through a tank and all the water, but I think this one looks ok (out of the hundred or so that I took).
This is called a Yellow Tang and it wasn’t whizzing around quite so much compared to the other fish

The best of 2013

Posted on December 31, 2013 by myeye1

2013 has been an exciting year for me with regards to photography; I finally managed to get myself a DSLR and was able to take some great photos with it at some amazing places. I have also been learning more about photography through a course as well as through all of you bloggers out there. Some of you have left helpful tips, while others have left kind and encouraging words, but I think most of all I feel that having seen photos that you have taken and published on your blogs you have really set the bar high, with beautiful, amazing shots of the world around you. I thank you all for your support on my blog and for helping me see the world in a different perspective.

I hope you all have a happy and successful 2014 and I leave you with some of my favourite photos from this year.

Robin

I saw this pretty robin resting in a bare bush recently and was really pleased to be able to get quite close and capture a good photo. You can see how the colours of it’s feathers blend in perfectly with nature at this time of year, so was especially pleased I managed to spot it

Incy wincy

There’s a lot of spiders in our garden at the moment and although they make me itch at the thought of them I thought I’d have a go at trying to capture a web. I thought this one came out ok, but maybe I’ll try to be braver next time and zoom in closer

Squirrel monkey

I recently went to Woburn Safari park and one of the animals I saw was the squirrel monkey, which are really small and pretty cute. These ones were really timid and open for people to pet and get quite close to. They did seem to have quite sad faces though, which started making me think twice about having animimals in zoos, but at least Woburn is a safari park and does allow animals more space and freedom than city zoos, and it does genuinley seems to care for them.
