I suppose we all see things from a different angle....me, I'm just amazed by the beauty of nature at close quarters, which is why I like macro photography.
Anyway.......just spotted a documentary showing on BBC2 tonight at 9pm that may be of interest to camera buffs, and others, of course.
"From the helicopter crash in London in January, to the Bush fires in Tasmania and the Boston Marathon bombing, non-professionals took some of the most striking pictures of 2013.
This documentary tells the story of 2013 told through images captured by members of the public, exploring how photography has changed in the age of smartphones and social media."
David, I like swans. We have a reservoir near us that has had swans there since I was a child. My Gran used to take us each Saturday and we fed the ducks etc. Whenever the swans came near she "legged it" and told us stories about how they could break a man's leg.
You don't want to hear her version of what rats do
A lovely picture. Please keep the thread going and I'll try my "point and click" at something over the holiday period.
Thanks, KEF....I have to say that I was pleased with the shot inasmuch as it all happens so quickly you don't get much time to dither.....the criteria is (irrespective of other considerations) to get the eye in focus & everything else falls into place. This I was pleased to have achieved.
These are at Loch Melfort, just south of Oban on the west coast of Scotland. First time I was there it was just the swans - there are quite a few of them - and next time they brought 'baby' to show us.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

I love swans too. They say they mate for life...
