Hebridean workshop, day 4, reeds and reflections

After breakfast we went out on the Golden Road which runs along the eastern coat of Harris. We stopped for some lovely reflections in a calm lochan and then for architectural reeds in some moorland ponds.

Lakenheath RSPB Reserve - no bird photos included

Image
Mid April saw Alan and I at Lakenheath with some other members of Cambridge Camera Club. I did take some bird snaps with my 70-200 zoom and a 1.7 teleconverter but in comparison to other peoples pictures they were pretty poor. There were some marsh harriers but they did not get close enough for me and we heard a couple of bitterns. The only trouble with doing landscape photography in a bird reserve is that when you start shooting everyone gets really excited and asks you what special bird you have seen. This only leads to disappointment! I did a mixture of straight and ICM shots. The combination of the golden reeds and the fresh spring green of the leaves was compelling. The last picture is a 'false multiple exposure' blended in photoshop
