Fuji Shooter Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Spent my usual Wednesday afternoon street shooting in Stratford upon Avon but nothing much about except for Japanese tourists with selfie sticks on every corner. I thought I would get off the high street and have a mooch down by the river to see if anything was happening down there. I came across a few birds that i had to tease into position with half a pasty and took inspiration from Winchester Dave (aka The Bird Man) . As I only shoot in Black and White I had to setup the camera and managed to bang these off. Not really setup for wildlife with a fixed 35mm lens and manual focus I was virtually on top of them at one point. Note to self, don't go sticking your camera so close to swans in future, hissing is not smiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
