Wildlife

I have always been passionate about wildlife and conservation and when not photographing people I can often be found out in the countryside and on nature reserves. Though we have of course lost species, we are lucky to still have such a diversity of birds, butterflies and insects in the British countryside. Many species are still under threat, but it is heartening to have met so many like minded people when out and about photographing the natural world.

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust Introduction to Wildlife Photography walk at Noddle Hill

It is hard to believe that conditions last weekend were the polar opposite of this weekend's heatwave. Nevertheless 15 hardy souls turned up at Noddle Hill Reserve for the photo session in gloomy, windy overcast conditions.  Despite the reserve hosting lots of interesting migrant birds such as Willow Warbler, Blackcap, Sedge Warbler, Reed Warbler and even Cuckoo, the weather was so poor that hardly any birds were to be seen - apart from the resident Greylag Geese who quite rightly gave anyone who came too near to their goslings an evil hiss!  Accompanied by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust Officer Helen Holford we made our way around the reserve and concentrated mainly on macro and closeup photography and discussed using depth of field and points of focus to artistic effect.
