    The course was just what I needed to get me started with a new passion. The instructor Stacey was great to work with. Stacey was clear, helpful and had a lot of knowledge. We had a good morning at Shearwater Lake and touched on the creative side of Photography as well as the some of the technical side. I would highly recommend Stacey as an instructor and the course for anyone who wants to take there pictures to another level. All I need to do now is practice.

    I've been to Clevedon a lot and had family there once upon a time. I had seen the signs for Poet's Walk but never been. I finally did it a couple of years ago for the first time and have been back a lot since. I posted the photo after a friend said I should do more moody skies.This was taken towards the end of a lovely October day in 2021. At the top there is a great view from Clevedon down the coast. This is also not far from where they did some filming for the Broadchurch TV series. High

    Taken with Nikon D7500 with 300mm Nikkor lens. Two male Kingfishers possibly adult male and offspring sitting low by the River Crane. Light was low so had to use a high ISO. Because of this the image had to be denoised . It was then cropped and clarity and texture added in Lightroom. I have a nice triptych of them sitting in three different poses.
