Part One: Journey to Scotland

So I am in Isle of Arran, after planning this for months I am finally here! I haven't been able to post because I have been pretty busy with travelling and having no internet is a bother. I wanted to blog every evening about what I got up to previously that day but there is no internet connection where I am staying so it is hard to do this.
This video is just my journey, leaving Falmouth and going to London.  This was shot last Saturday so I still have a bit of catching up to do!

I want to get up to date as soon as possible, as today I sat in a hide about 10m away from a couple red squirrels feeding. So this will be edited when I have time and posted when I can access the internet.
Tomorrow, I am going to build a set with a couple broken trees so I will capture a natural looking shot rather than a squirrel at a feeder like it was today.

These videos aren't much but they give me motivation to edit my work which will be included as a short documentary piece. At a later date, I will be merging the gopro videos with my high quality squirrel footage to produce a documentary raising awareness of the red squirrel as my final major project.

The London Grey Squirrels

Last weekend  I was very fortunate to attend Wildphotos, a major wildlife photography conference that hosts the world most incredible professional wildlife photographers. The two day event consisted of a jam packed day of top professionals in the industry educating us on key aspects of photography.
After being so motivated with a sudden hit of realisation of the standards I picked up my camera and went out on a sunrise shoot.
I headed to Greenwich Park in south London to photograph Squirrels, as Red Squirrels will be my main topic I will be focusing on for the whole of this year. This is one of my first shoots so I will eventually improve my photography in terms of capturing behaviour and interactions.

Regents Park

Sorry I haven't posted any sooner, I had a big deadline so I was working hard for that.
Last week I took another trip up to Regents Park, London again for another shoot for my negotiated project.
This time was a lot better than the first time, because I was able to see the chick of the Heron and I focused on other wildlife and not just the Grey Heron.

Here are a couple images that I took;

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:
