Reed Swan

When out working around the garden I like to keep the camera handy, A couple of swan’s landed on the lough at the gardens edge. Walking down I got stood still till they got use me and managed to get a couple of shots before leaving them to their feeding. This shot was taken through some reeds which I did knowing they would be out of focus. I like the effect of them framing the  swan.

Thank you for viewing

Mallard taking off after I spooked it walking down a lane by a lough.  A quick grab shot and worked it in a couple of processes, one monochrome and then a colour process to add a warmth to it. Namely Silver Efex Pro 2 for the B & W and Color Efex Pro 4.

Thank you for viewing.
