Kestrel

For the last couple of months I have been doing a project that defines the features and characteristics of a Kestrel and a Heron and then drawing comparisons and similarities between them.
Over my second term I went on a photo shoot and came across a rather tame male Kestrel that allowed me to get close to him.
I thought I would put a couple of my captures up:

Hawks

When I was back in Jersey in the Easter period I met up with Falconry Experts Sue and Bob Schmedlin.
Although these Hawks were trained it was amazing to get up close and personal with these birds of prey.
Their features were incredible to see at such a close range. I got a chance to fly one off them and stroke another!
It was so surreal to communicate with these spectacular birds of prey. It was more for the experience to get involved with the falconry but as I am a photographer, taking photos is a must..

Welcome!

Hey guys,

Welcome to my blog! For these first couple of weeks, I will posting out the things I have been doing throughout the Easter period, and then maybe upload other photos/projects I have been doing during my time at university.

To start off with I will post a few images of my trip to Regents Park in London.
On my way home from Cornwall, I flew via London Gatwick so I stayed a couple days in London and decided to check out Regents Park as I heard there were Herons there.
These Herons were incredibly tame so I could get about 3ft away from them! I didn't have the best equipment with me so I will be going back with a Macro lens and hopefully a 300mm F2.8 lens. But the shots seemed to have turned out ok.

Here are a few photos:
