A Nice close encounter up in the hills of Mid Wales during a recent snow storm. The light was pretty poor but managed to grab a few shots.
managed to encourage this moth to clamber onto a stick.
This is the same moth as the undead, but with much less zoomification-ness (I'm sure that's a real word)
Like last year, we stopped here in the hope of seeing the Northern Lights. There were some breaks in the cloud, and I did manage to capture some faint green auroral streaks in the Ursa Major area, but nothing was visible to the eye unfortunately. It was a picturesque spot, though.
After working out the double exposure-enable/disable instructions on the Canon.Managed after numerous attempts to achieve a reasonable result.
I'm back from Iceland. It was great and I managed to get one self-shot while I was there. Hope you like it :) Oh and I finally got 40.000 views! Yay!
I managed to capture this beautiful sunset scene over a wheat field near where I live in West Sussex, UK. As I was walking through the field I came across the curved tractor track in the wheat that adds nicely to the foreground. I had to do quite a bit on noise reduction in post production though as it was quite a low light scene.

Managed to get a few snaps of this beautiful field just before it started raining, Plenty of photographers out snapping this so difficult to get one without someone in the picture. I am surprised how lovely it still looks following the recent storms we have had
An abstract piece shot recently while on a walk around the Glencoe Lochan.
There is a small stream which flows into the Lochan on its Eastern side and immediately before it reaches the lochan there is an area which sits just outside the main flow and upon which little lines of bubbles and froth manage to survive. Attracted by the patterns I took this shot. I felt the conversion to a hard black and white rather than the natural tea brown of the water better suited my visions for the shot and this is the end result.
A definite love it or hate it image but it it is what it is!
Managed to get over to the Lakes on Boxing day for a walk. The light was wonderful especially earlier in the day. This is looking South on the way up Higg Rigg (Naddle Fell).
I managed to take a few shots of a semi-cooperative Gecko. I looked down at my camera to adjust the exposure compensation on my flash and when I looked up it was gone.
Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F14, 1/250, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to over 1x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT with a Kaiser adjustable flash shoe on the "A" head (the key), E-TTL metering, -1 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Sharpen AI and Clarity in that order.
I have never managed to get to the beach with the tide sufficiently low to take this view of the pier, so I was glad to get this shot today. Taken using my Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art standard zoom mounted on my LUMIX S1R. The camera was set to manual with an aperture of f/11.0 yielding an exposure of 0.4s at ISO 100. I shot the image using the 187Mpx high resolution mode and developed from RAW using DxO PhotoLab v5. The image was then down sampled to the camera’s native 47.3Mpx resolution, stylised using ON1 Photo RAW 2022 with final crop and light edits performed using Affinity Photo.

Went up to Swaledale yesterday in the search of Buttercups. We managed to find one field that was amazing, but many of the fields were not at their best. It was strange as this one stood out! Anyway I spent an hour knee deep in freezing stream water and it took me at least a few hours to get warm again, must be because I’m not feeling that great combined with the freezing conditions for June!
I managed to catch the last hour of light today at Kynance cove. It really is a spectacular location, and all the better in a bit of sunshine! I feel so lucky to live and work in this magical part of Cornwall. It was blowing a gale and pretty cold, but a very welcome change from rain.
Managed to get my other half down to Cornwall for a few days, staying in Talland Bay. Unusually for me taking photo's wasn't really important, I just enjoyed some nice walks and paddles. Didn't venture very far, just Polperro and Looe along the coastal path.
Managed to snap this heron (though not in ideal lighting) on the canal walk between Chippenham and Lacock.

Another shot of Katie Blake! I got my 8th photo of my 365 done today and I managed to bang out some more edits of Katie Blake! This is one of the shots that I really liked, I might be editing more and If so I might post them, or just keep posting them in this ones comments, we will see!
Today I went to school, hung out with Mike and then his gf also all night and we went and saw the movie "The Social Network". I was pretty impressed with it, It got great reviews and I thought it was a very well done movie, I really enjoyed it. Sadly there was not a lot of people at the midnight release though, ha.
Let me know how you guys are feeling about this edit and such! I appreciate everyones constructive criticism! Now to find someone to shoot for tomorrow's 365 photo! I'm feelin' some natty light in focus this time!

Finally managed to get to Kilfarrasy beach on the Copper Coast yesterday evening, on a day when it wasn't bucketing down from the heavens.
Lighting was lovely, even if it was threatening rain all evening.
"This is part of an attractive stretch of coastline known as the Copper Coast. The name arose because of the mainly 19th century copper mining activities in the area. These finished long ago but there are a few relics remaining. Kilfarrasy Beach is one of the most attractive parts of the Copper Coast, although falling rocks are a potential danger here."
EXIF: 55mm; f/18; 180secs; ISO100.
Managed to photograph my first bird today! Here’s Mr Blue Tit! :)
Not sure why the funky edit. I’m getting worse!
Taken at Oakwell Hall and Country Park, Birstall, West Yorkshire
Managed to locate 3 earlier today. Here is a shot of just the one. I did come across a lady who had 2 dogs off leash directly under an owl. This may be the same one that others have come across letting her dogs chase owls in the fields.
I managed to grab a shot of this lady walking through the historic Citadal in Hue. This palace was the scene of a lot of fighting during the Vietnam war.

The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) were very active on the cold Iceland night when I caught this shot. The road, where the bus is parked on, was a sheet of ice, so getting from one side of the road to the other was quite a trick. I managed to slide across the other side and catch this long exposure with my tripod planted deep in the snow!
Almost a month after my first sighting, I manage to get a picture. Of course it was sheltering in an awkward spot behind a fence, but lovely to see them about now.
I counted about 4 in total on this walk, no other species locally yet, but only a matter of time.
Managed to spot this girl up on the moors today and for once, she stayed put long enough to get some shots off
Looks to be a Sempervivum but sad to read that after blooming it will die. "beauty in the death of a hen & chick plant as it reaches upwards in a burst of colour and bids farewell to this world"
I managed to spot this from the ground of the Hotel Suvastu ast Fiza Ghat in District Swat. Brown Crakes are rare in Pakistan - only recorded around Rawalpindi previously but I managed to spot two here. The fact that two are up here and in March could mean many things - they could be resident, they could be on passage migration, they could be dispersing, they could be a pair, they could have bred, be a family....
It is the first time I have seen this bird. A great pleasure to add to the list!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_crake
The Brown Crake (Amaurornis akool), or Brown Bush-hen, is a waterbird in the rail and crake family (Rallidae) found in South Asia.
Its genus name, Amaurornis, comes from the Greek amauros, meaning "dusky" or "brown" and ornis, meaning "bird".[2] The species name, akool, is of uncertain origin. It may come from Hindu mythology, or it may be a derivation of the Sinhalese word kukkula, which is used for both moorhen and watercock.
I actually managed to get up for 4.30am and up onto Hengistbury Head ready to capture the sun rising! The cloud stopped me from getting the shot I intended on (excuse for a revisit!) but the pathway leading across to the coastguard hut caught my eye. Very philosophical but it got me thinking about my pathway and all the great things happening at the moment.
Anyway, for a moment I thought I wouldn't come away with anything then the sky lit up for a short time just as the sun was rising to the left of the scene.
Have a great day guys!

Managed to take a shot of this fine specimen last week while visiting Elk Island National Park, just east of Edmonton, Alberta.
In 1907 the Canadian Government purchased the last herd of Plains Bison from Montana and moved them to a wildlife sanctuary in Alberta (the sanctuary now known as Elk Island National Park).
In 2012 Elk Island National Park transferred 71 bison to the American Prairie Reserve who has united with Parks Canada to work together in conserving the plains bison.
I managed to get down to Porth Nanven for a couple of hours last night, and it was great to be out. We had one of those fiery sunsets too, which mas special, but I preferred the golden glow that came before it. A magical evening only slightly spoiled but the 'photographers' who brought their springer spaniel and let it loose across the pristine beach! SIgh....
BLM-managed wild horses at a watering hole surrounding and protecting a colt in South Steens Mountain, Eastern Oregon. The colts mother is the light palomino to his right. Protecting the young is a priority for all of God's creatures. I really liked this image and very happy it came together as I was watching the band's behavior in the water. All rights reserved. Best viewed large.
Managed to solder on until around early 2019, and has since been scrapped. 28 years was good going though.
Finally managed to get this shot of the newly-restored clockface of the Elizabeth Tower, which I'd been hoping to take for a while.
Today I found a street-level angle that gives the best view with only minimal perspective corrections in Lightroom to bring it back to its true proportions.
I like the new Prussian Blue colour scheme they have brought in, which is a restoration of its original colour, although you can't really tell it's blue from a distance with the naked eye.
Anyway, the whole of the Elizabeth Tower looks incredible now after so many years under cover. I just hope they manage to finish removing the rest of the scaffolding at some point, as it's taking ages so far!
This is an interesting wee valley in the hills above Loch Eck. It is off the beaten track but I have made a YouTube video about how to find it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbDnchjZcQM
I've been there a few times and always struggled to find a good shot due to the shape of the area.
