Komodo National Park and Flores Photo Book

I’ve been using the rainy weather to put together a long overdue flip book from our trip to Indonesia last November.  I have so many lovely photos that this one just covers the first 2 weeks which includes our week at Scuba Junkies Komodo and our second week on Flores where we stayed mostly at Labuan Bajo.  If you ever think you might like to go Joanne and I would thoroughly recommend you do and we are planning to back in the not too distant future.  The coral reefs are stunning, the Giant Manta are amazing, there are so many turtles and the people are very friendly.

It’s been a while since I have posted in “Photo of the Week”.  I have been very busy with the camera but where my work is spread over a range of different genres it’s hard for me to pick favourites and I also think to choose a photo routinely based on a calendar is a bit false.  However this photo of a Grey Heron did well for me in a recent club competition and I like it so much I think it deserves a place here.  Having said that I also got some cracking photos of terns too.


Lovely weather, lovely light. Time to get up early

When the weather is calm and you know there will be good light then Pennington Marshes is a great place to go this time of year.  The terns are back and I love photographing them when they are fishing.  Either as they dive or when they hover.  This morning I was lucky enough to find a pair of Little Terns bonding through feeding.  Very sweet.
