Photographic highlights of 2021
Having not posted anything on here for some time, I thought it would be nice to get back into the swing of things by posting a few of my favourite photos from the rest 2021 (since my last post in May). I actually didn't get out with my camera as much as I would have liked during the second half of 2021, but at least it results in this blog post being a bit more manageable. I find it satisfying to capture some habitat context in my bird photos where I can. It's always tricky to find the right balance of including enough habitat, without making the image cluttered. To be honest, quite a lot of the time, getting the balance right often seems to involve a decent bit of luck. Hopefully I've managed to get the balance right with this one. I was pleased that the nettle at the bottom of the photo was in focus on this one, as it adds an interesting feature to the image.
