As regular followers will know, I really enjoy being out in nature and using a camera to capture things I see and sharing them afterwards.

I know that the quality of my photographs doesn’t even approach the skill level of so many other people who can properly be described as photographers.

However, whilst I would like to take better pictures of birds, for me, the important bit is not the finished quality of the photograph but the whole experience of being there, to spotting the bird in the first place, to taking the photograph, to observing it doing its’ thing in nature and remembering the experience afterwards.

So, you have two things… the quality of the photo and the quality of the experience. it is the latter thing that I go for.

I do admire the extreme lengths some people will go to, buying the most expensive equipment and sitting or standing around for hours or days for the moment they able to capture the perfect image.
