Photography and Ellie

following Ellie's Christmas wish for a "proper photographer's camera" various friends and relatives clubbed together to buy a secondhand DSLR (Canon EOS 450D for the technical amongst you)

Thanks to a lot of co-ordination it arrived just after Christmas and in true 11 year-old technical style, the instruction manual was discarded after the briefest of glances and she shot outside to begin snapping away.

Paid off though - capturing this beauty by the sheer persistence of sitting under the bird-feeder.

Ellie's ambition is to become a professional wildlife photographer and work for the BBC... It's promising and good luck to her !!!
