A Quick Word From Yours Truly


Hi, welcome to PJ's blog.

If you've checked out the "About Me" bit you'll see I'm a keen amateur photographer who enjoys all things digital. I mostly like photographing plants and landscapes as they are easy targets ;-) I used to work in Software which sounds more exciting than it is but am now officially a Snr. Project Planner having changed jobs after almost 25yrs in Software. I sometimes wish I could work in photography but that would probably become boring if I did it day in and day out. I used to sponsor a wolf called Luna until she sadly passed away, and love all things "wolfy". Anyhow enjoy the blog and hopefully I'll manage to keep it up to date with what I've been doing and my favourite things!

Big Cat Sanctuary Open Day

 

So this off Friday saw me, Julia and James pop along to the Big Cat Sanctuary Open Day - roarsome!

These are a few from the M50 and Sigma 18-250mm lens but kinda wishing I'd sucked it up and taken the big gun 70-300mm along on the 77D. Think Julia managed to get loads of really good stuff whereas I struggled to get the bars to disappear.

Once of the best images was this little Bumblebee on one of the local flowers ;-)

We had the afternoon there and it's an interesting place, only open for a couple of weeks I think in July and then closed to the public the rest of the year whilst they concentrate on conservation.

Mostly big cats as the name implies, they had a birds of prey demo but unsure if those birds reside at the park or not.

Julia has a keeper for the day experience coming up hence the reason for trying to squeeze in a visit. Tempted by the photography experiences but they are expensive and unsure what access you gain on them and whether my glass is really up to the job...
