El Presidente Competition

Hot on the heals of the last quarterly competition it’s the president’s plaque. A print and digital themed competition, this year it’s Wildlife.

I was going to enter a couple of Robin images from the depths of my Lightroom library, but I accidentally showed them to the club whilst demonstrating the club’s new website. So I decided to try a bit of nature in my back garden…..

Morning Brew
Pigeon Portrait

No prints for me on this one as I’ve not got anything ready.

The bird

A Robin to be precise.

Quite a friendly little thing, only downside was the fact it was about 1.5 metres away and I was using my 300mm and 1.4 converter.  Still the Image Stabiliser seems to have coped well as I was shooting at 1/50.

Taken at the Sandwell Valley RSPB reserve, where I spent the final morning of my Christmas holidays.  Then went shopping, guess which one I prefer.  I’ll give you a clue, it’s not shopping.
