If you have been lucky enough to visit the Farne Islands in June, you will know how overwhelming it can be, not only with thousands of sea birds, but with photographers to match. It can be difficult to find a shot that is just yours, so I decided the best course of action would be to look a little closer.
There were lots of Shags nesting on the island, brooding large fluffy chicks, but I wanted something more intimate. I noticed one nest which seemed to escape to frenzy of photographers. I suspected there might be chicks in the nest, but it was difficult to tell. I framed my shot and waited patiently. Finally, after about 15 minutes of crouching, there was a disturbance under the wing as the chick reared its head for a split second, I frantically fired a burst of images and was lucky enough to get this shot.

Another image from last night's UNBELIEVABLE display. This aurora was up to Swedish standards. It's just a shame everything was such a mad rush and panic... and don't get me started on that lighthouse. Grrr, why couldn't they dim the lights. Ah well.

About a year ago the camera I had been using died and I bought this one. It takes great photos, but it has so many buttons I really don't understand everything it's capable of. I picked it up to take a shot recently and realized I was taking a video. It took me five minutes to figure out what buttons I had accidentally pushed.

Another image from my recent over night stay in the Lake District. My aim was to capture as much of Autumn as possible as I work a lot, the weather is awful and with the high winds and warm October, this Autumn has been very short lived. I am please with the amount I captured in one day.

This was one of those mornings that we dream of. I could see that the sky was going to be amazing as the colours were visible in the early dawn. I took an image about 10 minutes before this photo thinking the light was at its peak, but I couldn't have been more wrong as the sky EXPLODED in to a vibrant canvas of reds, oranges, pinks and purples. Amazing.

This gorgeous blue ringneck parrot was so cheeky... he flew over to us and grabbed the lens cap that was hanging from my cousin's camera :) He then proceeded to climb unto her shirt and we had quite a laugh :)
Birds of Eden in South Africa hosts the largest free flight aviary in the world and took us a few hours to get around when we visited last month :)
I hope you are all having a great week so far, sorry I haven't had time to check out any of your pics this week, can't seem to get myself organised at all - will catch up soon :)
Off work this afternoon, heading out with the camera.... I've barely used it since I came home from Africa 5 weeks ago. and NO, I did not bring Ebola home with me!!!!!
Take care everyone, and thank you so much for your lovely comments on my previous upload :) :) :)

I couldn’t decide which picture to submit for Macro Mondays Photography Gear theme as there were a few that I equally liked.
Here’s the runner up. HMM!
Self portrait of Charlotte & me. By this time it was dark so high ISO required to capture the detail in the water. This location requires a lot of patience for the crowds to clear. Well worth the wait however.

I guess you could call this a black and white self-portrait. This is a scan of a 35mm print, taken in the early '80s, when I took a photography class. I developed the film myself and printed the photo in a darkroom. Old Skool stuff! Back in those days, it was easy to spend all day in a darkroom experimenting, not to mention wasting a lot of photo paper. These days, it is easy to spend all day at a computer, tweaking photos with software.
I used an old Konica SLR, which must have weighed about 5 pounds :-)
The location was near Columbus, Mississippi, at Lake Lowndes State Park. It was a peaceful place to escape to. Their web site is www.stateparks.com/lake_lowndes.html
I love where I live. En-route to meet the missus and saw this view. I ran back in haste to grab my camera and managed to fire this shot before meeting my disgruntled lady, who was not impressed by my lateness.

After a night of Wild Camping on Lingmoor Fell (just out of shot) I awoke to a surreal calm. There was not a breath of wind and the reflections coming from the tarn below were irresistible. I managed to pack away my tent before sunrise and make it down to the water just in time. I will most certainly be revisiting this location during the peak of Autumn.

I was lucky enough to drive through Glencoe on my recent trip to Skye. It’s a shame that I could not spend a full day exploring, it was just a quick stop off as we had a lot of driving still to do. My plan was to photograph Buachaille Etive Mor en route to Skye. This is a prominent peak, which is instantly recognisable. I wanted to concentrate much more on the form and the shape of the mountain, rather than the landscape in which it sits.

Driving back home from Skye, we passed through Glencoe and over Rannoch Moore. Everything had thawed in the glen, however up on the moore, the Lochan's were still icy. I couldn't resist having a wonder around looking for compositions like this one. I used the excuse of 'needing to stretch my legs'. 40 minutes later and I returned to the car with a big smile on my face. The missus was not impressed.

The old double exposure lens cap trick...
Focus on the wall and light it up with torch. Lens cap. Move the camera, change the orientation and reset the focus. Lens cap off and spin the dome.... Straight in for a warm cuppa and some of Marthas cakes!!
(taken on one exposure, no additions after the exposure. I will adjust levels, saturation, white balance, brightness and some minor cropping if required.)

This photo was taken with a Pentax K70 SMC PENTAX-M 3.5 28mm ASAHI OPT. JAPAN. Bracket shooting (5 shots).
While I had the rig set up from last night I thought I'd better get some more use out of it. Camera laid on its back under a regular pendulum. Lights off and pendulum with light swung for about 50 secs to leave a gap in the physiogram. Lens cap put on and camera moved to tripod at pre determined location and flash fired while I stand there and pull a stupid face, the first of many this year I should imagine!

I took this on the first day of my trip to Piaski in Poland. It cost me a lenscap, but it is a price I am willing to pay anyday for stuff like this.
Apart from cropping, I applied almost no post-processing here.
This was my first time shooting lightning without a tripod - and it hurt. I took way too many photos to mention, the success rate was almost exactly 1%.
Piaski itself is a wonderful place. Located on the Vistula Split, it's a small fishing village, some 4km from the Polish-Russian border (Russian territory there being the single most stupid result of Soviet WW2 expansion), opposite Frombork, the city of Copernicus (I could see the cathedral in Frombork over the Vistula Lagoon in fair weather).
Driving down to North Yorkshire, my heart was sinking as the earlier light had well and truly disappeared behind flat, dark, grey clouds. On top of this, there was torrential rain. Rather than drive home I decided to make the 20 minute, wet muddy walk to check out the location as I have never been here before. I made the terrible error of leaving my camera in the car, certain the day was a write off. I couldn't believe my luck when I could see the clouds breaking in the distance and when I say 'luck', I mean bad luck.
I decided I could make it (See Facebook ). I could run to my car, get my kit, set up and beat the break in the clouds which was sure to allow the light to sweep over my foreground for just a few seconds. I was soaked, muddy, sweaty and exhausted, but I made it with minutes to spare. I framed my shot and waited. I could see the light coming and it swept over the bluebells and Roseberry Topping for just 10 seconds.

I think this just broke the record for the fastest shot I have ever composed. This was the mistiest waterfall I have seen since visiting Yosemite several years ago. It was absolutely roaring yesterday. I could feel the mist the second I got out of my car in the parking lot. By the time I got close enough to see it, I could barely keep my eyes open with all the blowing mist. So… I ducked behind a tree to take shelter. It was the only slightly dry spot around. I would peek out from behind the tree to try and pick out a spot that I thought would make a nice composition. Then I set all the camera settings the way I wanted them. Shut the autofocus off, so it wouldn't be focusing on some random particle of water. Opened up the tripod legs, then, ran out to my spot, plopped down the tripod, pulled off the lenscap, fired off a shot within about one millisecond. Then, ran back to take shelter behind my tree. I repeated this process several times until I ran out of dry things to wipe the lens with.
This is Grizzly Falls in Kings Canyon National Park.

I do a lot of rock climbing in my spare time and I am constantly making mental notes of crags to return to with a camera rather than a rope. Last night I bumped Hadrian's Wall for this wonerful, empty, peaceful location. Not another soul in sight. Pitty.
Not much editing on this one, I used a circ polariser and a ND0.6 HE. Processed in Lightroom; I simply lifted the shadows, a touch of contrast and reduced highlights.

I added FIELD MADE stickers to my lenscaps. This way they are easy recognizable when they are stored with the lenscaps up.

My doppelganger and I. A double exposure using semi-circular "half lenscap" rotated 180 degrees between shots, tripod and self-timer.
The car is a 1969 Uren Savage 3000E, ex-Cortina 1600E, which I owned between 1973-79. It had the Zodiac 3 litre V6 engine and manual overdrive gearbox, and ran very well between breakdowns.
Taken at Newfield Hall, Malhamdale, in August 1975.
A red eyed tree frog, photographed on a recent trip to Costa Rica. They're nocturnal and not easy to find. I shot this image with my camera mounted on my monopod in one hand and my head torch in my other hand, illuminating from top left. These guys are great to shoot and full of character.

All week I have been waiting for this and it was over in 15 seconds. Not to mention that I had already started packing away. It really was incredible to see the aurora so strong, it lit up the entire forest.

This was the aurora from the 15th of March. This was considered low activity, but I much prefer it to the display we all got last night (17th). We had beautifully clear skies on this evening, however it came at a price of -33ºc. Brutal, but worth it.

The Asahi Pentax KX 35mm film camera. It still works!
From the Pentax Forums -
Manufactured from 1975 to 1977. The Pentax KX was one of the three original K-mount cameras introduced by Pentax as a replacement for the Spotmatic family of screw mount cameras.
The KX model was one step up from the KM with a more sensitive light meter, a wider ISO range, and mirror lock-up. It had a match-needle exposure readout so that the shutter speed set was indicated in the viewfinder. The aperture set on the lens was visible in the viewfinder through a small window.
The KX is the only Pentax where the wind lever must be pulled slightly out for the meter to work. This makes the camera unsuitable for left-eyed users. Fortunately Pentax didn't repeat this poor design on their later cameras.
This was taken on my first visit to the Yorkshire Dales. What a stunning place. The weather was atrocious and I really had to fight the elements to get this shot, braving hail and snow showers whipped across the moors by 40mph winds. Well worth the effort, I think. It just doesn't feel right if it's too easy.

Back from Iceland, I thought I would find my local patch a little uninspiring. I couldn't have been more wrong. This is straight out of camera with very little processing. This is not HDR, the sky was just that lovely. I have been waiting for this shot for a while, the tide & the light had to both be perfect for it to work.
