About a year ago I created a Flickr account and thought it would be another way to share my photos and get feedback from other photographers. However, I created it, uploaded 2 images and then just seemed to forget about it for some reason.
Was it really a year! Well, now I have revived it and added over 50 images. Some can also be seen on my website and others are just on Flickr. Its a mixture.
One of the features I like on the site is the map. Whether is has any really use or not remains to be seen, but I am trying to add images from different places I have visited, so it builds up an interesting picture. I have a big map at home that I am doing manually, so this is possibly why I like it so much.

Sunday was the NCC trip to London. So with an early train, we all meet up at Waterloo station and headed off on our walking tour of London. The idea was that is was an open day at many of London’s buildings, so you got to see lots of places you wouldn’t normally get in to. Sadly most were booked, but we still made the most of it.
Along the way we visited The Gherkin building

St Pauls

and the Millennium Bridge

and finally ended up at the houses of parliament.

Of course on the way back to Waterloo, we got to see the Millennium Wheel.

This was my second trip to the Hawk Conservancy, and it didn’t disappoint!

I had a lot of problems with the Barn Owl and didnt get many good ones.
The eagles proved a bit more successful, but sadly couldnt get the Bald Eagle flying in over the field as before.

One of them did however circle overhead

Then give a victory call!

Today is the day of the Nokia Camera Club, so I have taken my camera along to work. This also gives me a chance to use it some more at lunch time.
I didn’t get to see much wildlife but did some a few dogs playing in the water.
It seemed to cope quite well with the metering, especially in this one.

and the light and dark works well here,

but the last photo I did have to lighten.
