The Wildlife of Happy Valley
I am not a Natural Historian but I am a keen nature photographer. This allows me to be regularly amazed by the intricate beauty of the miniature natural world. The aim of this panel is to produce a set of images showing the miniature creatures that inhabit the few wheelchair accessible fields and shady hedgerows in the Happy Valley Conservation Area. I aim to show the progression of life throughout the year. As the days cool and life slows down I plan to use focus stacking techniques (where possible) to increase the level of detail available in the images.
