COLOURFLOW IMAGES
Colourflow Images has been formed by a husband and wife team whose love of nature is captured through their photographic skills.
Fantastic Facebook page "The Self Isolating Bird Club" is a virtual space for birdwatchers and enthusiasts alike to share their pictures/videos of wildlife across the world during this COVID-19 crisis.
OBSERVATION
This is the main criteria of bird watching (not "twitching"), it will enable you to differentiate between the different species that you can see in your garden, local park, pond, rivers and estuaries.
PHOTOGRAPHS
All photographs displayed are available to purchase (please see the SERVICES section. For artists looking for reference material, if you do not see anything on the website then please contact us with your requirements.
WORKING TOGETHER
If you are looking to improve your bird ID skills then there will be various organisations in your area which may offer a varied programme of field trips and indoor events. These meetings enable beginners to meet with local experts, to develop bird watching skills, advise on optical equipment and share their fascination for birds and the environment.
During the dark evenings of autumn and winter, they may even put on indoor lectures which will cover a variety of topics, with possibly speakers of national and international acclaim who are both entertaining and knowledgeable about their subject.
ORGANISATIONS
BTO (British Trust for Ornithology), RSPB, CBWPS (Cornwall) to name but a few.
ABOUT US

Now residing in Scotland they have been able to continue their passion for watching and photographing nature and being able to share this through their website.TESTIMONIALS
Ted Andrews Freelance Author, Artist, Cartoonist & Illustrator
"Such is my admiration for the work of Bob & Lesley Mitchell that the temptation to describe their photographic images in the most glowing terms is hard to resist. But any flowery adjectives of mine, I fear, wouldn't do them justice. I could speak of their passion for bird photography, the extreme lengths they commit to, to capture the perfect 'shot' and their quite extraordinary powers of observation driven by the very real love of our native and migratory bird species. But why bother? The beautiful photographic images recorded by Bob & Lesley Mitchell will speak far more eloquently than I could ever hope to manage. Enjoy their work, choose your favourite (difficult) then order a print for your wall. It will enrich your life."

"Bob and Lesley's photographs show a wonderful understanding of nature and are an inspiration for any artist. Great service too."

RAW Conversion
Process of converting a RAW image into a printer friendly file. The RAW file is the equivalent of a film negative which needs to be developed.
TIFF -v- JPEG: best to capture images in TIFF format (if not using RAW). Saving as a JPEG uses a lossy compression meaning much of the original photographic data is lost once the image is saved
