My partners first Novel: Tainted Love

I don't usually write posts unrelated to photography, but in this case I have too. My partner has just released her first book Tainted Love - available to download to kindle through Amazon. The pen name is Erin Cawood. The genre is Contemporary Romance, but both darker and edgier. Writing this book and getting it through the processes of editing etc. has been epic - and it seemed like she would never get there... But now, the book is finally published. There has already been excellent feedback from professional writers in America who applaud the writing style, so please have a look..

Tainted Love can be downloaded as an E-Book through this link at Amazon 

Let's hope she can sell thousands - and then maybe I'll come into some shiny new camera equipment...? Sounds good to me..!

Pink Footed Geese Flock in flight

Pink Footed Geese Flock in flight, a photo by Paul Miguel on Flickr.

I photographed these stunning pink footed geese on one of the coldest mornings of the year. Huge flocks regularly fly to their feeding grounds at dawn and return to roost at dusk. A clear sunrise with bits of cloud made for some wonderful light. Photographed at ISO 500, 1/1000 second at f 5.0 with a 300mm f4 lens.

Roaring Red Deer Stag

This stag was one of the best from today's photography workshop at Studley Royal. Everyone got a series of shots as he strutted his stuff and crossed the road. A truly beautiful animal.
