People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and I'll introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

    I was wondering around RSPB Ham Wall heard a noise just above my head and saw these two long tail tit fledgling flitting amongst the branches begging their parents for food. They then settled on the branch closest to me and sat relaxing allowing me to take some photos. They were as interested in watching me as I was in photographing them!

    I was in a hide on the edge of a field waiting to get a few pics of some deer when I spotted this little fellow picking up twigs and flying them back to it's nest in a hedgerow. I got a few shots but this was my favourite.

    Title or Location: Siverstone F1
    Taken at Silverstone F1 on Qualification day. F11 1/80 at 135mmTook numerous photo's on the day with a very low hit rate! The cars are doing doing around 150mph at the position we were in, took a while to get the panning right and a bit more experimentation to get at a low enough shutter speed to blur the background and the chain link fence.Will 100 be going back next year and up in a grandstand!

    Title or Location: Bolsa Chica Wildlife Preserve
    The significance of this shot for me was it was my first American Bald Eagle I had captured in the wild - after my wife, Susan, pointed it out to me. I was thrilled and determined to make the best capture I could.Upon closer examination I was awe inspired to see (in detail) the death stare, that razor like tool cutting beak, the unbelievable chest muscles and tremendous talons.
