Re: Photography tips

Tragus,

Glad you liked my site. I really underestimated the work required when I started it.

One day I decided to count the number of different species of bird that I had ever seen in the garden and the total came to more than 30! I was amazed so thought I should try to photograph them and research them a bit. The next step was to put them onto a web site to share with others.

However, I thought why should I stop at birds - there are lots of animals, flowers, wild and cultivated, trees, insects and even fungi. I have now added 45 (and counting), species of wildflower over 30 cultivated ones (including shrubs). The more I looked, the more I found!

I have hardly started the insects yet - I guess that will be a huge job.

One of the most amazing things are the fungi - I have identified 14 so far and have a similar number that I have yet to identify but that is a really difficult job.

I still have a lot to do - I would like to do a pond life section and also a seasons section - but I am still waiting for some snow for that one!

Anyway, glad you appreciated it and keep visiting because I add things every week.

Jenny
