Taking a “cheep” shot! – Opportunist photography

Birds, Blue tit, high gillerthwaite, ennerdale

A young Blue Tit pops by to say hi!

One of the advantages of living in the middle of nowhere in the English Lakes is that we have plenty of wildlife chilling around. I am no wildlife photographer but early this spring we had loads of young birds of the feathered variety on our bird table outside our lounge window. They didn’t seem to worried when I set up my camera on its tripod with the lens up against the glass to take their portraits. After snapping a few frames I played around with my flashgun with a mini diffuser on it and stole a few more shots.
