Raptures

Scotland

Farne Islands

On a 4 day trip to Scotland this year with my wife Elaine we both had a two day photographic tutorial with Chris Weston  (professional wild life photographer) at the Highland Wildlife Park.  These are a small sample of the photos we took.

Local Wild Life

Some photos from my local  area Plymbridge Woods early one morning.

A one day photographic tutorial at the Cotswold  falconry centre with Andy Rouse (a professional wild life photographer, in my opinion the best).  Here are a few of my shoots of the free flying raptures.

Big Cats

Another one of my day trips (with  professional wild life photographer Pete Walmough) this time to the Wild life Heritage Foundation in Kent  to photograph endangered cats. Had a good day but sadly this place is not open the the public.

If you asked my wife Elaine to describe the Farne Islands she would say they are in the North Sea, off the Northumberland Coast between Bamburgh and Seahouses  they are also cold, windy, wet and very very smelly (of sea bird waste). But I had a great day photographing Puffins and other birds, (but if I was honest it was cold).
