Standing in the rain...

The daily grind continues in The New Forest; this time standing around in the rain, waiting for Fallow Deer to put in an appearance. After a couple of hours they wander into view and I make the shot. There's still plenty of time to get images like this before they head off for the rutting season, which will be around the end of September. By then they'll have other things on their mind.

Another day at the pond

Another trip to the New Forest. This time to Cadmans Pool. Tried to photograph the Canada Geese, but some buffoon kept encouraging his dog into the water which stressed the birds unnecessarily, particularly the ones who had young. Still, he was taking a string of calls and talking loudly on his mobile phone, so he must have been someone important.

Eventually I focused my attention to the Dragonflys at the waters edge, and managed to get this image of a Broad-bodied Chaser.

Just starting out

Hi there,
Welcome to the Daily Grind. This is just the start. I am going to use this blog mainly for the posting of recent photographs on a short term basis, as opposed to my online portfolio which is more permanent (more of which later).

To start the ball rolling, I'm posting an example of the fruits of my patience with a shot made two days ago in the New Forest, Hampshire, UK.

(Please note; all images on this blog are owned by me, and may not be reproduced mechanically or electronically without my written permission).

Thank You.
