Strelitzia or Bird of Paridise

My folks have been growing a Strelitzia plant or can be known as Bird of Paridise for years now and finally this year it has flowered.

I've been taking pictures of it over the last 7 days as it has been changing. Some of the first images are posted in the gallery section of the website. (http://www.sceniceye.co.uk/)

I will be posting more over the next few days as it is still changing.

This picture was taken with a 300mm lens and aperture of f/5 to help blur the background.

Booked a wildlife photography course

Just booked a course at the Arundel Wetlands Centre in October on learning how to take spectacular wildlife images with an SLR Camera.

The course is October 3rd and October 4th at the Arundel Wetlands Centre.

The course covers exposure; manual controls; composition; depth of field; making a good shot better.

In theory after the course I should be able to know some more in depth stuff on my SLR and improve some of my photo's. Most of my photography up until now has really been through self learning and help from others.

I'm really looking forward to taking some great shots. Lets hope the weather is good in October.
