    I found it really insightful. It was nice to have a much smaller group to really target individuals specific problems rather than a large group and the information provided be broad and non specific.

    On my way to work. Popped my camera in the car with me just in case. A misty morning and the sun was rising. I noticed the golden sunlight on the straw in the field. Took a few photos was a bit of a rush though. I was pleased of the result for the little time I had.

    The photo was taken on the rocks near Howick in Northumberland. The conditions for sunrise seemed to suit a long exposure to smooth the water out. Northumberland is truly one of the best places to witness sunrises, we are really lucky.

    It was a bitterly cold morning after a heavy frost, but a nice bright start to the day. The small birds were very active searching for food, by midday the light was just right and this little robin flew right in front of me, then just hovered for a couple of seconds. So pleased with how this picture has turned out. Canon R5mkii and Rf100-500 L. Edited with Photoshop and Light room.
