A few photos I took with a crazy interesting projection lens. It has so many imperfections that it is pure joy using it and being surprised by results. It is sharp enough at the center, but everything else is blurry and swirly and unexpected.
Ideal lens for experimenting.
A beautiful male Pheasant (rooster) walks through the cut corn stalks on a sunny winter's day! I'm posting this - but my real challenge is to capture one of these in flight - they are fast and I am working on it as this is a good season to see them.
With fog set in for the day after a walk with Ralph around Edale we headed to a woodland I'd wanted to explore. A flat cold wintery day produced some soft light to shoot in.
Bittern was playing hide & seek in the reeds the other side of the pool this morning. Only by chance I was looking in right direction when he went in. I thought he was going to take off after walking the length of the reeds but he turned round & walked back, expect he went after had gone
Another shot from the start of the year. Haven't been out much with the camera in recent weeks, unfortunately.
For anyone interested in my continuing adventures in mispronouncing Gaelic place-names, I found out the 'L' in Stalker isn't silent.
Processing inspired by Dylan-K. Love your works as always, you rock!! =D.
This shot was taken in Singapore. I actually miss those sunny days.

I have just noticed that my last four images uploaded to Flickr have been in portrait orientation. Back to the composition - I tried to create some depth to the image by going down low, I'm not sure if that is what the pros do but I thought it a good idea at the time.
We are in lockdown in Wales due to the Coronavirus so I am not able to get new images so hope nobody minds me uploading some that may be very similar to images already posted.
Stalking the night - As day turns to night on Loch Laich, the darkness of dusk envelopes Castle Stalker with the weather closing in from Morvern.

Castle Stalker is built on a small island on Loch Laich, an inlet off Loch Linnhe and near the village of Port Appin, Argyll, Scotland.
The original castle was a small fort, built around 1320 by Clan McDougall. Around 1388 the Stewarts took over the Lordship of Lorn, and it is believed that they built the castle in its present form around the 1440s.
Castle Stalker is now in private ownership and is open to the public at selected times during the summer.
Castle Stalker was used in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) appearing in the final scene as "The Castle of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh”.
