Sunday 23rd June - Old Buckenham Airshow

OK, so we had a few showers!  But did it spoil our day?  Not at all! The heavy, dark skies only added to the dramatic effect of the fantastic flying displays on offer.  We managed to capture some images in between the showers and some of us managed to fit in the occasional hog roll.  It was a long day but everyone seemed to enjoy it and those that stayed till the last plane had left found the suggestion of a pub supper at the nearby White Lodge very welcome.

Thanks to all of you who joined in.

11th June 2013 - ‘Out and about with our cameras’

Who would have guessed that our 1 hour challenge would produce such a variety of interesting photos.  Nobody travelled more than 4 miles from Saham Toney and everyone was back within the hour with at least one decent image.

While the rest of us were enjoying tea and coffee, David Blake was importing the 27 images into Lightroom.  After a quick review of all images straight from our cameras, David demonstrated some of the Lightroom editing functions and quickly created some impressive images.

Well done to everyone who took up the challenge.

David’s pick of the best of the bunch are shown here.

Sunday 19th May - Birds of Prey Workshop

We were lucky enough to have almost perfect conditions; not too bright and very little wind.  Jonathan and George, our instructors, and Mike and Ross the falconers, ensured we had the most fantastic day.

The technical information provided in the classroom at the beginning of the workshop was pitched at just the right level to give everyone a better chance of success and the individual help and support out in the field was much appreciated.

Hopefully, we will remember all the technical information and tips from the workshop and be better prepared if we ever get the chance to capture images of birds of prey in the wild.
