On tuesday evening several members of Duns Camera Club met up at Duns Castle lake.It was one of three meetings that we had planned for the summer and we were there to primarily photograph the wildfowl on the lake.The weather was a real mixed bag,with very little sun,lots of cloud and several showers.So it was a matter of using high iso’s,getting wet and putting up with the infuriating midges.
For once Ollie wasn’t with me.He had decided that dry,warm beds were preferable to rain and midges and he hadn’t paid his camera club fee anyway.So here’s a few of my attempts and hopefully future blogs will improve when my assistant returns in due course.
Lovely weather for ducks.
One of 9 cygnets in the resident mute swan family.
Coot feeding,with the mist rising in the background.
The drakes had moulted their colourful plumage and so the females looked better.
The cygnets produced quite a bow wave as they torpedoed towards me.
Showing off with its’ stumpy little wings.
