Grebes, House Martins and Horses

A random assembly of photos taken over the last month or two, on the rare occasions I have enough energy to get out and about. All taken with the Nikon Z 400mm f4.5.

My mission to capture the grebes doing their mating dance appears to have failed for this year as I’m pretty sure they have now packed up their dancing shoes for the season.

I did however get some nice shots of house martins in flight at Charlecote Park. My intention was to just see the deer, but when I saw these birds zipping back and forth over the lake it was too good an opportunity not to practice some bird in flight photography.

Black and White Horse Photography

I’ve been continuing to learn and enjoy my new camera system over the last few weeks. Most recently I’ve been had fun viewing the horses during my evening walks locally.
I feel like I’ve caught a few interesting stances and expressions in the shots below. I processed the first one in black and white eventually as I felt it suited the mood of the portrait; the horse looking powerful and aggressive (for that split second in time at least). The edit ended up suiting the rest, too, so I made a series.
