Taking photos of swans

We went for a walk around the Radipole Bird Sanctuary. One of the two RSPB reserves that we have in Weymouth. Unlike Lodmoor, the Radipole Sanctuary is right next to the town centre and surrounded by roads and houses.  Although you can still hear the sounds of the town once on the footpath and amongst the reeds and lagoons you could almost believe you were in the countryside.

My OH and I enjoy taking photos and we are still experimenting with our new camera a Samsung WB690,  which we have had for about a month. One of it's benefits is that it has a powerful zoom function.

I never realised how difficult it is taking photos of swans they kept moving and preening themselves!

It moved too fast and I cut off it's wings!

After many attempts!

 I hope you had a good weekend too!
