Outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, camping, biking and travel all combine with nature and wildlife photography. Good…

Anyway here are a few samples of Christina’s photos taken in the morning light.

Spooky woods. Here are two successive nature images of a flying grey heron that came out weird and strange. Taken on the 29/09/2011 at 08.41 am in slightly misty conditions over a pond in Berkshire UK.

Grey Heron Photographic Study. Grey herons are an interesting water bird to study photographically. Here are a few photos to show you what I mean.

Early morning and late afternoon means that the angle of light comes in low. Ideal for capturing back, front and side light on your subject photograph. Water adds to those reflections. That’s why Christina loves photographing water birds with all their charm.

Water birds to photograph around Sandhurst include white mute swans, Canada and Egyptian geese, mallard and black tufted ducks, cormorants, common gulls, grey herons, little grebe, coots and moorhens.

Photographing white mute swans, 3/4 grown cygnets, mallards, a tufted duck, moorhens, coots, black cormorant, crested grebe and their young was all possible when visiting Heath Lake near Crowthorne in Berkshire.

We visited the Moor Green Lakes Nature Reserve for some lovely shots of butterflies, water birds and a roe deer buck that we surprised. These lakes are reclaimed gravel pits that lie long side the Blackwater river. A very quiet and peaceful area to photograph wildlife in.

My first EOS Digital SLR “DSLR” camera was the Canon EOS 500D. I was told to buy any good mid range SLR camera and then buy the best lenses that I could afford. It’s the lens that gave you quality photographs.

This is true to some extent!

Let me tell you what I’ve discovered since then…
