Thanks it kept me busy and sane during the 6 weeks I was on the various wards while working my way home…

I think that looks great. As long as you are happy with how you see colours that’s all that matters.

You clearly have a talent for photography.

I think its more that I’m incedibly lucky living where I do, the landscape is photogenic


this is the beach opposite my home, I honestly thought I’d never walk on it again as there is railway track in the way so its an up and over a not great railway bridge down some steep slippy wooden steps to the beach then navigate the shingle and pebbles to get onto the sand at low tide.

as a goal it was so worth it.

Wow that’s stunning. Oh and it is definitely worth conquering that railway bridge to stroll along the beach x

Photography Has Saved Me.
I go out for a walk everyday, I’ve always been a photographer and taking pictures since my strokes has been my therapy. It’s helped me to find subjects, consider composition and handle the light. Above all, it gives me motivation to exercise. Do it! Every Day!

I went to stay with my brother who lives in Norfolk. I don’t think I’d ever seen a Kingfisher let alone photographed one when I saw this beautiful Kingfisher on the Broads.

I’m not sure what’s happened to the colours in the uploading but the originals are much more vibrant and colourful!

Lovely photographs of a Kingfisher, it’s my own ambition to photograph one in the wild, they just look amazing.

@MadJeff Just popping in to welcome you and look forward to seeing you around the forum :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks! This one just sat there and although I was using a long lens it let me get really close!

They’re amazing photos. Love to see a kingfisher but don’t get them much where I live.

Thank you. This summer we had one that came and sat in front of one of the hides in our local nature reserve. I spent ages waiting for it to appear but every time I was there… nothing! It failed to appear for me! I was lucky to find this one in Norfolk!
