Chance

So there I was, had been waiting patiently in my hide for a buzzard to appear and was ready to call it a draw, when I notice two hares playing at the far side of the field. I watched thinking "Why that side?" when all of a sudden, and for no apparent reason, one hare dashed straight towards me. Then the sun came out. Then when he was almost in shooting distance he veered off a little. Click, click, click...

I came home that day with not one shot of a buzzard, but I had a series of hare shots I never dreamt I would capture. Nature is amazing, she makes you want to go back for more.

Looking back

After spending every spare minute I had, once back from last years Kruger trip, sorting and processing images it is only now that I find the odd gem, such as my banner image or the one below.
Moral of this story? Take a break, you will get so used to seeing the pictures that they will all become one blurred ball of pixels.

I have a blog!

Well it took long enough but eventually technology gets to us all. So here is my blog. I will concentrate on my efforts to immortalise nature through the photographic medium. So for now here is a pano shot, 2 shots I stictched in photoshop, from Sunday morning near Baierbrunn, Munich. Females with young are very cautious and even in my camo I only got this close with 600mm of lens.
