    I found the event really enjoyable - Alex who lead the event, was extremely knowledgeable and ran the event at a pace that could be followed by all. I took so much from the time spent meandering around Port Sunlight, viewing everything in a totally different light. A thoroughly enjoyable event and one I would highly recommend.

    Title or Location: Crossing
    I went to Kings Parade, New Brighton as it was a sunny evening. At the time the sun was lowering into a bank of cloud but it was clear below it. As I was walking the beach I noticed people on a further sand bar that I thought would make interesting subjects as silhouettes. I then noticed a couple starting to cross the water and the composition began to evolve that resulted in this image. Nikon D4s, 80-200mm, f:5.0 @ 1/1250 with a whole stop minus EV.

    Title or Location: Farne Islands, Northumberland
    The image was made from the Farne Islands boat out of Seahouses, Northumberland. This was during the bird flu outbreak in April 2023 and landings on the islands were not allowed. Consequently all my images of the Farne Islands residents were made from a boat being tossed about by the waves. As luck would have it this image was the first of only three needed to get a usable image of this composition.

    This photo features the greater 'rhea' which is the largest of all South American birds and is related to ostriches and emus. These flightless birds use their long, powerful legs to outrun trouble. Although their large wings are useless for flight, they are used for balance and for changing direction as the bird runs.I took this photo on Saturday afternoon on 26th October whilst visiting Amazon World Zoo Park, situated in Newchurch on the Isle of Wight.
