Chess

Unfortunately I don't play chess but I did buy this glass chess set for photography purposes to experimant with colour and light. You kight be seeing a few of these later on as the months progress and it gets colder and darker on a night. LOL

Photoshop

Because my image was a litle out of focus here i decided to try a dry brush technique in Photoshop to give it a painting feel to it. I personally like it but it may not be to everyones taste.

Kingfisher

This is the first time i've seen a Kingfisher at my local bird hide Thornley Woods. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It wasn't too close hence the not so good images but i'm still proud of them and happy to have seen the kingfisher too. A beautiful bird when the sun shines on him.
