Clash Of The Lites

This little one was part of a medieval show. Having had fun all day, he finally fell asleep in his Dads arms.

Taken in Hereford Park on a very misty morning.

Reflected steam engines in a tanker, seen at a steam show.

I took the theme of a poem by William Cowper which has these lines:
'My pens are all split and my ink pot is dry,
Neither wit, common sense, nor ide

A very snooty look from this lovely, tall giraffe.

He was playing for a group of Morris Dancers in Hereford.

Two entrants in the Mud Run at Eastnor Castle.

The Master of Ceremony at a recent wedding. I thought the red and white looked really great together so asked if I could take just a hand and arm shot

She was watching a group of Morris Men dancing and the purple hat combined with her blue coat caught my attention.

Behind The Lens

Location

West Midlands Safari Park in Birmingham.

Time

Morning around 10am.

Lighting

It was a fairly bright day with lots of shadows.

Equipment

Hand held Sony Alpha 700. This was my first DSLR; I really can't recollect what lens it had but definitely not more than 300mm.

Inspiration

I have never been good at action shots but the action was happening all around so I figured I had to try.

Editing

The background was a bit messy so I used Photoshop Elements to help blur it.

In my camera bag

Now a days it's a Nikon D800 with a 28 - 300mm les. As I have a leg that doesn't bend (guess you could say I am slightly disabled) I tend to carry as little as possible - so no tripod! Generally two memory cards and a small Nikon point and shoot in case of difficult angles.

Feedback

If you get the chance to take more than one shot then do so. I just find it's a case of try, try, try again to get what you want. I cannot move quickly so I have to decide where I want to be and then stick there - you may not get the shot you were hoping for but you may get something better!
