    Getting back into photography!

    Hi all,

    Getting back into photography after putting the camera down a few years ago for various reasons, not least due to burn out after getting into weddings and being surprisingly busy. Did well but it was never a passion and I think I just lost the desire to get out with a camera.

    Always preferred wildlife and landscape photos so will be looking to focus more on this, picked up a Canon 100-400 lens to go with my old, trusty 5D and have been slowly re-learning all that I've forgotten.

    Anyways, here are a few shots from the garden which I'm very fortunate to have as it is a wildlife haven! Let me know your thoughts, I'm always impressed by the quality of shots here so anything constructive will be greatly appreciated.

    This chap has trashed many a sunflower seed feeder over the spring!

    This pair of fledglings were keeping the parents very busy!

        glad you decided to pick it up again Andy.
        terrific detail in the first two shots.
        Look forward to seeing some more from what I can imagine must be a photographers heaven in that garden.

              Please keep the camera to hand from now on.
              4 fantastically sharp images.
              Another vote for number 1 as well.

                  Thanks for all the comments, very pleased you like the photos. Camera will be firmly in hand from now on, can't believe I ever put it down!

                  Off to Thursley Common today so should have some more shots from there, fingers crossed we come cross a Dartford Warbler.
