It was time for a sping clean yesterday evening! I tidied and organized my cupboards and threw out a whole load of stuff I no longer need. I then embarked on a mission to dust and remove all of my gadget chargers and declutter my working area. Here are a couple of photos of the finished product.

Robin Originally uploaded by jonathan020

I took 1207 photos in May, some of which were from one of the most beautiful places in the UK, the Lake District. However, I chose this picture of a Robin in the back garden as May’s picture of the month! The great thing about photographing Robins is how friendly they are. They come right up close and seem to love to pose for the camera! This was my favourite shot of about 85 pictures I took in total.

Taken at f/5.6. I had the ISO way up at 800 to get a fast enough shutter speed of 1/250th to prevent blur from the birds natural twitchy movement.

The Bluebells at Banstead Wood in Surrey stands out as the most striking image of April 2008. I had made a number of prior visits to this location, but on this particular morning the light was just perfect.

This was taken handheld at f/5.6 at 1/100th at ISO 200.
