I must wander around the park more often when England are playing football in the World Cup as it was unbelievably quiet except for the shouts coming from open windows. So it was kinda pleasant to wander around with my camera and I wanted to see if I could capture an image of the two herons who have lurking around the lake in the park, hiding around the bushes in the water. I was able to but was annoyed with myself as the flash on my camera startled it. It flew off though I was able to take a quick photo but have discovered the autofocus mechanism on my Tamron AF 70-300mm is slow capture birds in flight.
Think I was able to shoot an image of a seagull in flight as they kinda glide and hoover so it’s easier to take while the heron flew off in haste. Though pleased I got the resident swans plus chick. And the usual ducks swimming around. Though have discovered through experience and by looking on photographer forums that I need a different lens if I want to capture birds in flight. Oh well…..
Beautiful.
Cheers Andrew!!
