Warnham Nature Reserve

Mon Sep 28, 2009, 2:04 AM
About a week ago now I went on a trip with :iconteenphotographer: aka. Joe, to do some nature and landscape photography. Warnham Nature Reserve happened to be walking distance from my place, and only £1 to get in so it was an obvious choice.

I think we snapped about 1000 photos altogether (to add that to the 1000 I took with Jay not long before at London Zoo), and i've been busily editing through them. Theres definitely some of the best landscape stuff done there, and we got incredibly lucky when we stumbled onto the golf course there just after it had rained. Mist was rising off the grass all around making the sunset look more like a sunrise which i've never seen.

As for nature photography there, it was mostly ducks, geese and swans, although we did see a heron, but it was on the other side of the reservoir...

I've still got even more from London Zoo to upload, and also I got a few wallpaper requests so i'll be sorting them out for people before I can even start with photos from Warnham...

And I start Uni soon, and i'm starting running with my mate, and i've still got my friend's album to finish mastering... but i'll try and get stuff done!
