Kestrel

Below is an image that I took today at one of my Kestrel Sites. I decided to go after I had dropped my girlfriend back to Newquay Airport and it was a real success. It was a very windy day and resulted in either the male hovering directly over head or landing on the cliffs close to my position. I have got some images of the bird hunting and catching some very interesting meals which i will post over the next few days. 

Chough

Today is an image of a Chough photographed on the south coast of Cornwall. This is believed to be one of the chicks from the lizard nest that was born earlier this year. They have traveled far and will start looking for a mating partner and building a nest for a brood of chicks in the spring on 2012. 

Breaking wave

Todays image is one of a breaking wave! taking with a waterproof camera, soon after I was drenched and battered! I want to start taking more images of waves from within the water and hopefully get some interesting shots with the sunset/sunrise. I am currently planning my third year final project and have some ideas for interesting cameras and angles and hopefully will report back with some short samples and sequences soon.

Grey Seal

Today is an image of a female grey seal taken a view days ago. I have muted the colours slightly as  feel that it works well with the image. I have aslo added a link to a video that I have created from my dive the other day. Please watch it and let me know what you think. I will hopefully get a chance to go back soon so I can continue to record numbers and individuals present.

Underwater with Seals

Today I had some success with wide angle UW seal photography! was really cool to observe these seals underwater and nice to see some of the individuals that I have seen before. 

I have muted the colours in the image below as I feel that it works better with the particular image. 

Kingfisher Sequence

Here is a short re edited sequence of kingfisher footage. Please let me know what you think.

The image below is taken on the north coast of Cornwall. I have photographed this young seal before and I was able to sit and observe him? for quite a while.

Grey Seal

This shot was taken at sunset on the North coast of Cornwall. The colour of the water was amazing here and I am going to try this again and see if I can get a sharper shot.
