I have finally started to upload photos taken back in July this year of the Waddington Airshow. It’s taken me longer than I thought due to the amount of photos I had taken (over 1100) and finally processessing them and narrowing them down to a couple of hundred.

Again the Red Arrows did their display and all others couldn’t beat their quality…don’t get me wrong the other displays were fantastic and don’t know how they do it – missing each other so closely!

Finding the time…

I have over the weekend been trying to get photos sorted from the Waddington Airshow and I am getting there but got loads to get through.

I have even got a load of photos I want to put up on my gallery but just need to get the time to do them. So keep your eyes open. In the meantime here is a photo from of a garden table…

This was taken with my macro lens and to get the final image I duplicated the layer and changed one to black and white and changed the blending mode to “overlay” which gave it this effect.

Hope you like what I did. Keep an eye out for the Waddington Airshow photos.

A Mixture of Nature

I was in the back garden of my parents yesterday and decided while it was a lovely day I thought I would put my macro lens on and see what I could find.

I managed to find a few things to snap at but because it was heading for the evening a lot of insects were heading home but still got a few shots…

As you can see from this shot I caught a bee searching for honey on a Buddlia. You can see that he has been successful in collecting pollen that day with it all on his legs.

I also found a spider waiting patiently on its web in the greenhouse, not sure how long it had been there but I think I would have been bored!

I wonder if the spider is still waiting? I managed to find a Hoverfly resting on a leaf taking in all the sun…

And for the last image I managed to get a photo of a flower just sitting there ready to be taken. I thought I would duplicate the layer and create a gaussian blur then blend them together with overlay create this effect.
