Winter 2011 / 2012 Review

I've been very busy this winter.
I started out looking for short-eared owls, back in December. I had one successful day in great light, and although I didn't get very close to the owls, I got some shots I was happy with...
On my next visit to the same site, I saw no owls at all. I think this was due to the fact that it was a very windy day, and m...

I recently visited The Raptor Foundation in Cambridgeshire. They're a charity who provide medical care for injured raptors, return rehabilitated birds to the wild, and provide sanctuary for unreleasable raptors. It's a great place to visit to get up-close to some fantastic birds-of-prey, and it provided me with a great opportunity for photography....

I’m really pleased to have a popular photo of mine become part of a new maternity wing of Ikazia Hospital, Rotterdam.
I was approached by the architects some months ago, who were looking to licence photos for wall prints, creating a spring lamb theme for their brand new mother and baby facility.
I recently got the photos of the finished ward, and...

I now have a better integrated blog for my website.
I want to write a bit more this year, and try to keep people better up-to-date with what I'm up to.
I also have a few ideas about posting review for the various locations, & wildlife parks I visit - both in terms of general visitors, and for photography. I must get around to starting them.
I'm...

Goodbye Autumn 2011

Since December is here, it’s now officially winter. So I thought I’d take a look back at some favourite photos from a busy autumn…
The Red deer photo above was a highlight for me I think, and the reward for a number of early-mornings.
Autumn is the season for deer, and red deer especially, as it’s the season our largest land mammals reach peak-fi...

Switching From Olympus to Nikon

Now, I like my gadgets at much as the next nerd. But when it comes to photography, I don’t tend to get too hung up on equipment. All the makes and models have their pros & cons, and I tend to think photography is more about the vision of the photographer than the camera.
But when I recently felt I was out-growing the potential of the equipment I w...

Hey You Guys! on Flickr.
I took this photo, in April 2011. I had a great day then, and was thrilled with the huge reaction to it online.
Recently, I used Google Image Search to see if it was being used elsewhere online. I wasn’t too surprised to see that it was, but I was surprised to see the shear quantity of results. This photo has now been use...

Building a Hedgehog House

As a keen wildlife enthusiast I watch all the TV documentaries, I read & learn, and I photograph animals too. But recently, when I thought about what I was actually doing to help wildlife, I realised that just hanging some bird feed in the garden was not really enough, and I started looking for something else I could do. I know that the UK hedgehog...
