Beavers Photography Trip to Pontypool Park

Last nights photography trip went really well! (I think) I guess the photographs from the kids will be testament to that ;) I did take a look at a few of the pictures and I was impressed! I gave them the task to photograph something alive! Now, if they were clever, which some were...(too clever) they would have found ways of being able to do that really easy. For instance, they could have taken a picture of a leaf! or a tree! which in my opinion IS alive. However, some of the kids thought they were too clever and started taking selfies of themselves OR taking pictures of people walking their dogs! So I quickly reassured them that people or dogs don't count. That said, someone did get a picture of a worm and hopefully some of you were listening to me when I started to point out a few little creatures ? Well, some did listen and they did get pictures so i'm really looking forward to seeing them. 

Below is an arty iPhone picture of the group walking on their annual conker walk.

I Won! Again!

Can't believe it! I wasn't expecting to win again this year, especially after seeing some of the other photograph entries on the wall as I went in. Some fantastic photographs this year. I particularly admired the Grassnake photograph! I'm still yet to see one on my patch.

In other news, the AGM meeting was great this year. I actually took some notes from the presentation as there were some really useful Stats about trees. All useful knowledge that I'll certainly use in the future! 

Next years competition will certainly be tougher again I'm sure but that's a year away so I won't worry about that yet haha. 

Gwent Wildlife Trust 2015 Photography Competition

Tonight is GWT's Annual AGM meeting, at which they announce this years photography competition results. Last year was the first year I entered this competition and I was lucky enough to win! So the pressure is on this year! I have no idea what the outcome will be but it is nice to have been shortlisted again this year and invited along to the AGM. I'm really looking forward to it! The meeting starts at 7:00pm tonight so wish me luck!
