Day 27:2013 - Bald Eagle
We visited Gauntlet Birds of Prey Eagle and Vulture Park in Knutsford, Cheshire. It houses over 120 birds from 46 different species.
Gauntlet has the largest collection of birds of prey in the North West and is one of only 5 bird of prey centres in the UK to be a member of BIAZA (The British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums).
The weather was fantastic and I managed to get some photos of the kites catching their food in the air.

Amazonian Rainforest Big Saturday at Manchester Museum.
This was taken at Peace exhibit at Mancester Museum. I decide to use the reflection of my daughter rather than straight through the exhibit.

Day 11:2013 - Candle in the Wind
Taken for the 52 a year challenge (Earth, Wind, Fire). My model was will to pose again. We had fun trying to get her in the right position but not too close that she may set fire to her hair!

Day 10:2013 Praise and Worship
At homegroup tonight we will be discussing praise and worship. My daughter was willing to model so she did a interpretive dance to YFriday's Holy Holy Holy.
This was taken with a long exposure in the dark and I triggered the flash off to freeze some of the movements.
Don't ask me why she was wearing a mask !

Day 6:2013 - Threads
I was hoping to go to Gauntlet Bird of Prey Centre today but unfortunately it got very cloudy after lunch, so we took a trip to Qarry Bank Mill instead.
We go to Quarry Bank quite often but only go inside the mill maybe once a year at most. My daughter seems to have forgotten she has ever been there before, so all seems new to her.
I love that they demonstrate all the stages from traditional methods to modern water powered machines. It is definitely a great visit.

Day 4:2013 The Bear's Head
The Bear's Head in Brereton in Sandbach.
A long exposure with a car coming past just at the right time. Also managed to capture a plane's light trail too.
Finally another photo made it to Flickr Explore
My apple photo made to Flickr Explore yesterday. That means Flickr thinks it's some of the most interesting photo posted yesterday.
The pressure is on to come up with another "interesting" photo !
Day 3:2013 Just Dessert
A rare night out for my husband and I, so we went to see Skyfall. Knowing that we won't come out of the cinema till 10 to midnight, I thought I should take a photo of my delicious cheese cake.
This was taken on my phone and processed using Pixlr Express and copyright text added usingPhoto Editor.

Day 2:2013 - A is for Apple
Trying to capture the texture of the flesh of the apple.
This would be a lot easier if I have a lightbox, instead I used the flash to light the apple from behind the camera.
Day 1:2013 Let's Twist Again
I am attempting another 365 again this year. This means I have to take a photo everyday of 2013. I will also attempt to blog the whole process, which I may not keep up.
I took this using Canon S95. I love the size of it and it has functionalities of DSLR.
I used aperature priority mode with this with exposure compensation of -2/3. The camera was balanced on the road side cabinet.
