Photograph taken at 10:16am on Wednesday 16th July 2025 at an altitude of Fifty two in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex. This is a Marsh frog (Pelophylax ridibundus), a species of frog which are native to continental Europe and Western Asia. They are not a native species in the UK but were introduced in Kent in the 1930's.
The Millpond dates back to the 16th Century and parts of the woodland dates back even further to the 13th Century. A beautiful location for a walk, or to sit amongst nature and so see birds and butterflies in their natural habitat.

The Canon EOS R5 is Canon's most advanced, complete camera in a long, long time. It has a few flaws (most notably a tendency to overheat when shooting the most demanding video codecs), but it has a very long list of virtues, including high resolution (45Mpx), great high ISO performance and dynamic range, fast burst rates (12 FPS mechanical and 20 FPS Electronic), deep buffers, great IBIS (sensor stabilization), and a truly awesome focus system. Add an amazing amount of video options and great ergonomics, and this is a camera that I simply love using. Bottom line: I bought one. Here's my review coverage:

Photograph taken at an altitude of Twenty one metres, at 12:38pm on Monday 9th January 2023, off Constitution Hill and Spur Road in front of Buckingham Palace with the Union flag at full mast, in The Mall next to Green Park and St James's Park in Central London.
The roads were totally sealed off by the Police as sections of The Blues and Royals (Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons) and The band of the Household Cavalry rode and marched from the Palace up the Mall and back.
Formed in 1969, with both regiments history dating back to the mid-17th century, this unit is now part of the Household Cavalry.
It is the second-most senior regiment in the British Army and operates as both an armoured reconnaissance unit and a ceremonial guard of the Monarch, King Charles III. In 1982, it sent detachments to the Falklands War, where they supported The Parachute Regiment in the Battle of Wireless Ridge.
In 1992, the two Household Cavalry units’ ceremonial troops were united into the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment (HCMR), and their operational troops into the Household Cavalry Regiment (HCR). The Blues and Royals contribute two squadrons to the HCR and one squadron to the HCMR. They are based in Windsor and central London respectively.
Since 1992, squadrons of The Blues and Royals have served with the HCR in Bosnia in 1994-95 and Kosovo in 1999. Members of The Blues and Royals also regularly deployed to Iraq (2003-11) and Afghanistan (2001-14).

Photograph taken at an altitude of Seventy metres at 12:52pm on Thursday 25th May off Keating Cros Road and Benvenuto Avenue at Victoria Butterfly Gardens in Brentwood Bay on Vancouver Island in Brirish Columbia, Canada.
This is a Blue Morpho (Morpho Peleides) butterfly, one of the largest butterflies in the world with a wingspan up to eight inches. Light reflects from the microscopic scales on their wingbacks, giving a vivid iridescent appearance, and they are mainly seen active and in flight, resting only briefly. They are found in the tropical rainforests of Latin America from Mexico to Columbia.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Three metres at 12.22pm on Monday 29th May 2014 off 2903 Ocean Boulevard, Victoria, on the Esquimalt Lagoon Migratory Bird Sanctuary, on the Juan De Fuca Strait, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
The Lagoon is one of seven Migratory Bird Sanctuaries in British Columbia, and an important stopover for birds journeying between North and South America. Visitors include geese and Swans, Bald Eagles and Great Blue Herons, plus many other species of birds.
The Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias) is a wading bird in the Heron family Ardeidae and found in North America, Central America, the Caribbean and Galapagos Islands. One of the largest of Herons, it has a head to tail length of 01-137 centimetres (36-54 inches) and a wingspan of 187-201 centimetres (66-79 inches). They are found where my family live, and naturally very wary of mankind, flying off as soon as you are within fifty to one hundred yards of them.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Five metres at 07:52am on Wednesday 17th May 2023 off Lone Cone Road from the front garden of a seventy year old house I was renting in Campbell Street, Tofino in British Columbia in Canada.
Eastern Raccoons (Procyon lotor) are native to the southern BC mainland, one of many different sub species of Raccoon, but are an introduced invasive species on Haida Gwaii.
They were introduced in the 1940s to enhance the local fur trade, but they represent a significant threat to ground-nesting marine birds. My family refer to them as 'Trash Panda's', but I love them. They are also known as Racoons, Coons or Common Racoons

This is my lil sis Samm i just bought this camera brand new Yesterday so i was anxious to try it out! and grabbed her and took out side our house to take a quick shot lol i guess some of the neighbors were spooked to see these lights goin off so we got the cops called on us hahaha but i just told em im tryin out my new camera and that i live right here and he said oh its really no big deal just gotta drive by to make sure it aint anything sketchy lol so then we wrapped it up. the bad side was when i got home my computer wasnt reading the new t2i codec so non of my photos could be processed on photoshop. after an our of a panic attack i settled down and looked for any leads to figure this out. which in the end lead to me completely upgrading my entire cs4 creative suit to recognize the new codecs that come with the new DSLRs so problem averted and now im stoked to get used to this camera and its HD video feature!
This is a short video that I did with the Cuban Prima Ballerina Kamila Capote, screen actor John Antonini, the Cuban musician Jorge Antonio Fernández Acosta and my long time right hand man Jimmy (A to Z) Andruszkewicz.
I shot this during my last trip to Cuba with a Nikon Zr that I had KolariVision do a full spectrum modification to so that I would be able to shoot both visible spectrum and infrared.
I shot this, Kami and John were the stars, Jorge the composer, John the DaVinci Resolve magician and Jimmy was the human gimbal
A Brief History of Time:
Received the camera from Jimmy in Havana, no manual, no internet to check things, no cell coverage so no calls for tech support. (So thank the Photo Gods that the Nikon menu structure is so intuitive). Set the camera up to use the RED R3D codec. Had the foresight to download the RED LUTS. Only had a 1.3tb Delkin Black card, so three takes no more, had to shoot this between things and made the whole thing up as the week went o on. The only thin I knew was I wanted to shoot Kami in IR. When I shot Kami we had no music so I told her that her movements needed to be 61 beats a second. Jorge wrote the music with the only instruction being Key of D, no percussion, “cinematic” sounding strings 61 beats a minute. RUN TIME TO BE twominutes 30 seconds-ish. John just happened to have taken up playing in DaVinci Resolve. Coincidence is indeed the universe’s attempt to remain anonymous.

The American Robin (Turdus migratorius) is a migratory bird of the true thrush genus and Turdidae, the wider thrush family. It is named after the European robin because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related. It has roughly a two year lifespan.

This is my lil sis Samm i just bought this camera brand new Yesterday so i was anxious to try it out! and grabbed her and took out side our house to take a quick shot lol i guess some of the neighbors were spooked to see these lights goin off so we got the cops called on us hahaha but i just told em im tryin out my new camera and that i live right here and he said oh its really no big deal just gotta drive by to make sure it aint anything sketchy lol so then we wrapped it up. the bad side was when i got home my computer wasnt reading the new t2i codec so non of my photos could be processed on photoshop. after an our of a panic attack i settled down and looked for any leads to figure this out. which in the end lead to me completely upgrading my entire cs4 creative suit to recognize the new codecs that come with the new DSLRs so problem averted and now im stoked to get used to this camera and its HD video feature!

Photograph taken at an altitude of Twenty one metres, at 12:39pm on Monday 9th January 2023, off Constitution Hill and Spur Road in front of Buckingham Palace with the Union flag at full mast, in The Mall next to Green Park and St James's Park in Central London.
The roads were totally sealed off by the Police as sections of The Blues and Royals (Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons) and The Band of the Household Cavalry members rode and marched from the Palace up the Mall and back.
Formed in 1969, with both regiments history dating back to the mid-17th century, this unit is now part of the Household Cavalry. It is the second-most senior regiment in the British Army and operates as both an armoured reconnaissance unit and a ceremonial guard of the Monarch, King Charles III. In 1982, it sent detachments to the Falklands War, where they supported The Parachute Regiment in the Battle of Wireless Ridge.
In 1992, the two Household Cavalry units’ ceremonial troops were united into the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment (HCMR), and their operational troops into the Household Cavalry Regiment (HCR). The Blues and Royals contribute two squadrons to the HCR and one squadron to the HCMR. They are based in Windsor and central London respectively.
Since 1992, squadrons of The Blues and Royals have served with the HCR in Bosnia in 1994-95 and Kosovo in 1999. Members of The Blues and Royals also regularly deployed to Iraq (2003-11) and Afghanistan (2001-14).

Photograph taken at an altitude of Four metres at 09:48am on Sunday 24th May 2026 off Lochside Drive and Ferguson Road at Saanichton Bay Park in Central Saanich area of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.
Here we see a Female Rufous hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) drinking from an overflow water pipe on the shoreline. These tiny birds are about 8 cm long with a long, straight and slender bill. These birds are known for their extraordinary flight skills, flying 3,200 kilometres during their migratory transits. It is one of nine species in the genus Selasphorus.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Forty nine metres at 13:38pm on Friday 26th May 2023 off Richards Trail and Herd Road at the Pacific Northwest Raptors in North Cowichan on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.
The centre cares for injured birds of prey that would not have survived in the wild due to illness or damage caused by mankind or vehicles. The birds used in the flight demonstrations are free to fly away at any point, and some actually do! They are fitted with tracking devices.
Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus Leucocephalus), derives it's name from the Greek for 'Sea eagle', and the 'bald' denotation actually derives from an older meaning of 'white headed'.Bald Eagles can be up to forty inches in length with a wingspan up to seven and a half feet and can weigh up to 6.3kgs. The females are generally 25% larger than the males.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Two metres at 11.19am on Monday 29th May 2014 off 2903 Ocean Boulevard, Victoria, on the Esquimalt Lagoon Migratory Bird Sanctuary, on the Juan De Fuca Strait, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
The Lagoon is one of seven Migratory Bird Sanctuaries in British Columbia, and an important stopover for birds journeying between North and South America. Visitors include geese and Swans, Bald Eagles and Great Blue Herons, plus many other species of birds.
The Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias) is a wading bird in the Heron family Ardeidae and found in North America, Central America, the Caribbean and Galapagos Islands. One of the largest of Herons, it has a head to tail length of 01-137 centimetres (36-54 inches) and a wingspan of 187-201 centimetres (66-79 inches). They are found where my family live, and naturally very wary of mankind, flying off as soon as you are within fifty to one hundred yards of them.

I love taking stills with my new iPhone 6s but the video at 4K is pretty disappointing unless you lock off the shot and in bright conditions and only view it on the phone. Most of the time the artifacts in the video ruin it for me, all that 4K detail goes down the toilet with all the codec issues. I think a small point and shoot like the Sony RX100 IV would have worked much better on this family trip to Disney World.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Seven metres at 11.23am on Monday 29th May 2014 off 2903 Ocean Boulevard, Victoria, on the Esquimalt Lagoon Migratory Bird Sanctuary, on the Juan De Fuca Strait, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
The Lagoon is one of seven Migratory Bird Sanctuaries in British Columbia, and an important stopover for birds journeying between North and South America. Visitors include geese and Swans, Bald Eagles and Great Blue Herons, plus many other species of birds.
The Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias) is a wading bird in the Heron family Ardeidae and found in North America, Central America, the Caribbean and Galapagos Islands. One of the largest of Herons, it has a head to tail length of 01-137 centimetres (36-54 inches) and a wingspan of 187-201 centimetres (66-79 inches). They are found where my family live, and naturally very wary of mankind, flying off as soon as you are within fifty to one hundred yards of them.

Just today, 11-08-20, copied VOB MiniDV files from DVD to the Passport HD via edits on MovAVI conversion to MP4 files.
The HP Windows Media Player and other player gave up playing VOB files then the three players gave up playing both codecs, so rebooted and new WIN updates and OK...
MovAVI was good at joining stray smaller clips onto the neighbouring larger files and saving as MP4...
The DELL stil plays the VOBand MP4 files with a click or Open with....
