Spring might just be my favourite season to take a camera outdoors!
Every park, lake and woodland seems full of new life, and you never quite know what you’ll come across 🥹
This little duckling wandered so close to me at Golden Acre Park that my 200–600mm lens suddenly felt like complete overkill. A standard 24–70mm would probably have done the job 😅
These four frames ended up telling a lovely little story…from an up-close portrait, a wider version of the same image including some scenery, before spotting mum keeping a watchful eye nearby, and finally the pair swimming off together as the sun began to set.
Which photo is your favourite?
1️⃣ The close-up portrait
2️⃣ The wider scene
3️⃣ Framed between the rocks
4️⃣ Swimming away with mum
