the fun!

One of the great things

about photography is

being able to share your

view of the world. From

nature’s very own to

man-made flying machines,

we take to the skies with

two readers both using

Canon lens extenders.

We want your photos

and stories! For your

chance to show off your

images in PhotoPlus, send

three to five high-resolution

JPEGs, along with a brief

synopsis – explain why you

took the shots, the location,

whether they’re part of an

ongoing project or a one-off

shoot, and anything else

unusual or interesting. Also

include Canon DSLR, lens

and exposure details.

Pathway of

endeavour

Sticking close to home, Paul captures

local wildlife and talks about his passion

regularly visit my

local park and

surrounding areas

in my town with

photography friends

to capture wildlife

portraits. For the picture

of the blue tit we set up some

mossy branches to provide a

colourful and textured perch

in the picture. This worked

well for enticing them over. I

used a continuous burst mode

and AI Servo focusing to take

the shot, I just had to wait for

the bird to face the right way.

Thermals, hats and gloves

are essential for shooting

during winter, so I was glad

to have them with me when I

shot this pheasant on a frosty

morning. The Pheasant is a

resplendent bird and the sun’s

rays caught its lush plumage

just right as he entered the

field. I had to brighten his

chest a little in Photoshop

to make it stand out.
