Post 14 Back to basics

We have just spent an excellent week in Bridlington. We went back to Flamborough North Landing and RSPB Bempton Cliffs almost every day trying to capture images of sea birds . Our aim was to try and get clear, well focussed images of the many seabirds that we saw. This task was made difficult by the fact they were going too fast or were flying too erratically but I really enjoyed the challenge. Additionally the birds were often too far away for clear images even when using a big lens and close cropping in post production.  To a great extent this was a case of back to basics, hold the camera steady, focus precisely choose the right iso, speed and aperture. I am pleased with the results even though they fall short of perfection. We must go back next year!!

Bempton also had a good display of Red Campions and I was am particularly pleased with this shot.
