A sunny winters day walk around Charlton Lakes. Taken straight off of the camera with no post processing need. I think this captures the graceful nature of these wonderful birds. In my mind this photo really showcases the ability of the Canon 70-300mm lens.

Shot taken at Anton Lakes in Andover. I was really pleased with the final shot, the result due in part to having a polarising filter on. Some mild post-processing and cropping.

Evening light swan

I never tire of photographing swans on the lake, and when they are cleaning their feathers they make for some interesting shots.

Swan & spray one

I had an hour free to do some photography in, so I took a trip around our local lakes.

Out of a group of four swans, this one was determined to get as clean as it could, so I was treated to this dramatic display as it splashed around getting as wet as it could.

I was also impressed with the current settings on the 70D with the 400mm lens, as these shots have required litttle post processing, and are as near as dammit off of the camera.
