Milk Droplets

Here are a few high speed shots of milk droplets (the semi-skimmed variety) taken with a macro lens, an off camera flash to freeze the motion and a hell of a lot of patience.  You will notice that remarkably some of the shots closely resemble another dairy product – an egg!

Here are further shots of a common kingfisher hunting for fish, taken from a hide in Worcestershire.   As you can see she did not return to the perch with her catch but chose instead to dine in peace at another location.

Another few shots of a Kingfisher taken at a hide in Worcestershire.  They were taken mid-afternoon in better conditions with only light rain and improving light.  No fish this time!

Richmond Park – Annual Deer Rut

It would appear that I turned up a little late or the stags were having an off day as there was very little rutting going on, although there was still much roaring.  The following pictures were amongst my favourites from the day particularly the three hinds laying low in the long grass.  They look so relaxed and at peace.  In fact I would probably go as far to say that the shot is one of the best I have ever taken.   It just appeals to me, what do you think?
