A Few Birds, A Bridge And A Boat
I took the day off work today and went over to Windsor. The normal, obvious set of photos would have been the castle etc but I didn’t bother with that. Instead I stayed by the river and captured some shots of the hundreds of gulls and swans that inhabit Windsor and enjoy the generosity of the thousands of tourists that feed them each and every day.

First off the Fisheye seemed the right choice for a close horizon shot and I tried to use the barbed wire fence as the central point of focus (right in the centre! heheh). Next I wanted a location that would really extenuate the 50mm shallow depth of field, the ladybird and poppy were lucky finds which proved very useful foe a bit of colour in an otherwise monotone location.
Outdoor Portrait Photography Explained

The changing light, the elements and general conditions all play a part in how your photos will come out after the session. Getting the basics right and being confident during the photo shoot will allow you to relax and conentrate on the little things that set your photos apart from the rest.
