Long Hole Visited

The Long Hole is next to the pier at Bangor and is a tiny harbour.  I was just passing the other day and saw a Common Tern resting on a buoy and took s few photographs of it, then did some experimenting with them and this is the result.  Below is my original photo of the Tern.


Reflections in water


















There are just a few small differences in some of the shots but I wonder which ones will people like or not like!

Thank you for visiting my blog.Please call again.

    These are great shots - I especially like some of the middle ones that catch reflections in the water.

    Wonderful tern!

    I was in the Burren in 1995 - just a few months before I moved to Australia. And I lived on an island just off shore of Skibbereen for six months in 1985! Wonderful times.

    he's very cute. love the reflections.

    i, personally, don't like the ones that radiate out, much. i love the natural look most. :)

    I like the large shot of the end of the float, I spotted 2 turns today , but only had a 100mm lens on the camera, so only got a shot from about 30ft.

    I love the reflections and the detail on the buoy. Amazing how many variations can be had from a single picture. Worth the experimenting Margaret. Love the last shot of the Tern.

    Hi Keith Glad you liked the reflections and buoy shots. Yes as you say, it certainly was worth experimenting. Both the reflections and buoy were shots I saw better at home because it is sometimes difficult to see everything through the small view finder.
    I am excited about going on 'Bird' island this weekend and at what I am going to find there. Have a great weekend and Happy Birding! Margaret
