More nature images.
I have been out to the local area, lakes and nature reserve a few times lately and despite the visits not presenting too many photo opportunities I was able to grab some mixed images I am happy with.

Lower Moor Nature Reserve
I was back at Lower Moor again recently, very quiet due to the windy conditions and we also had a couple of short bursts of hailstone!
Good fresh air though and exercise and a good laugh with some of the regulars I have got to know.
I returned to one of the hides and there was a heron looking for food in the reeds close by so we all kept an eye on him and eventually he emerged from the reeds, looked around then took off so I was able to capture a sequence of shots as he flew off leaving droplets of water falling from its feet.
These images although few in number made the visit all worth while.

Big boys toys
I met up with a friend last Thursday and we spent time at RAF Fairford to wait for the arrival of the B52's coming in for a very large NATO exercise.
It was very windy and those that were there in time for the early morning arrival got a real soaking and were still grumbling and drying out when I got there, we had a good laugh and as time went on the skies cleared and we had good weather but still very windy.
We had 2 x B52's arrive early afternoon around 2 pm and I managed to get some images of them on finals as well as touchdown (shot through the wire).
I was back again on Friday and chose a different location for a change of view, another good gang of enthusiasts and we all had a good laugh while waiting for the arrival of another B52. We dodged rain showers and the aircraft finally arrived at 3.40hrs - this new location meant I had to shoot through the fencing but I am happy with the results.
A couple of great days with some fun people with a lot of knowledge about all things air photography wise.
These are the images over the 2 days.

Street shots in B&W
A trip to Cheltenham recently and in town today presented me with some photo subjects for street images.
I converted these to B&W using Silver Efex Pro.
