A birthday Falconry experience |
||||||||
This is a bit of a local post, and slightly off topic, so apologies if its not your 'thing'.
It was my wife's birthday this weekend, and one of the things she has been interested in doing was Falconry. She is quite an 'animal' person, and spending time with some more exotic birds has always been on her wish list.
I had a search around and found a local Falconry center, 'Fray Falconry services' at the Chiseldon House Hotel. ( http://www.chiseldonhousehotel.co.uk/aboutus_frayfalconry.php )
The owner Frank Hunt gave both myself and my wife a great session learning about and handling the birds he had on site. It was a real privilege to get close to, and see these great animals flying.
If you are in the area and you fancy a Falconry experience I highly recommend Fray Falconry. Frank knows his stuff, and has an infectious enthusiasm for the subject which really adds to the experience.

My friend has launched his Photography site |
||||||||
I've got a Coldfusion developer (part time photographer) friend who has just finished his photography site. It's up now at http://www.tonybaileyphotography.com/.
He's also been invited to provide a photo for the site http://www.todaysphoto.org. It is a night shot of the Bridge over the Severn Estuary,crossing from England to wales.You can view it here.
Also serves as a remind to me that I need to get out with my Canon more!

Windsor Photo shoot |
||||||||
I regularly hitch a lift with a friend to work. The only problem with this is that he drops me off at 7am, so I have two hours to kill before the office opens. I'm on first name terms with the local Starbucks staff, but I thought for once I would try something different, now that the light is getting good at that time in the morning.
So I grabbed my camera bag, and clicked away. I'm reasonably happy with most of the shots, but still don't quite have the knack of balancing harsh early morning sky with dark alley ways....
