Background

June 22, 2026 by fred 2 Comments

For me the most important part in a picture is the background. you can have the most beautiful bird , mammal in the world. if the background to your picture is poor. the picture will be poor. It is not always possible of course. But I always try to have a clean background……I was near water. birds were coming to drink. I was lucky to have buttercups in the background. Jackdaw, Rook mistle thrush, woodpigeon, stock dove. pied wagtail ….

I was near a meadow covered with buttercups. In this meadow Rook and jackdaw were looking for food.

Well, Last Sunday, I went to Slimbridge…it was a debacle..the mist, fog, call it what you want never went away…it was a wasted day…

They say that a picture is a thousand word…look bellow.

Of course I blame all the people who were with me on Sunday for  that debacle…yes you Richard and Martin, and Steve! and a special mention for John !!!

Everytime I have have member of the B.B.C around me  It`s a disaster!..this has got to stop  🙂  🙂

The deer rutting season is over. Again, this year I had a great time photographing these magnificent beast. Very early in the morning is always best..the smell, atmosphere, sounds are incredible. I cannot wait for next year.

Here are a few shots from last week.
