I went on a visit to The Farne islands during the nesting season to photograph the Terns and Puffins that nest there. There are roped off paths on the islands but one of them is very close to a colony of nesting Arctic terns who are very aggressive in defending their territory and nests. They are quite fearless and will dive at you and peck you on the head and quite easily draw blood if you aren't wearing a hat. I took these pictures with my camera above my head and shot away blindly as they came diving toward me. It brings a new meaning to the classic Hitchcock film The Birds and it makes you realise how frightening that scenario would be.
I guess I'm really a frustrated artist. I used to paint in pastels mainly, my favourite subjects being wildlife, portraits and realism and I have always been interested in photography. Then shortly after I retired I discovered Photoshop and realised that I could paint the pictures I saw in my mind digitally and I have been following the "Photo Art" direction ever since. I have recently embraced AI art and now most of my images are created in Midjourney, Photoshop and Topaz . I like all forms of Art, Abstract, photo realistic, Portrait, Landscape etc but my favourite is in Wildlife. Outside of my family and creating art, my main interests are music and Liverpool FC.
