Kevin, who lives near Oxford, remarked that Blenheim Palace is a stunning location for photographers. Visiting for a recent Classic Car show, he confessed that he was rather lucky to get the Geese, given that his camera settings 'were all wrong for a fast moving subject'. He also says that he hopes that more people will be inspired to pick up a camera and snap away - and we at Morris Photographic couldn't agree more!
