Wildlife

I have always been passionate about wildlife and conservation and when not photographing people I can often be found out in the countryside and on nature reserves. Though we have of course lost species, we are lucky to still have such a diversity of birds, butterflies and insects in the British countryside. Many species are still under threat, but it is heartening to have met so many like minded people when out and about photographing the natural world.

Operation Orange-tip

orange-tip23

Operation Orange-tip has been a great success this year. I have managed to get lots of shots of males stationary and with their wings open.  I need to thank the Orange-tip populations of both North Cave Wetlands and Leven Canal for their help in making these photographs a possibility. Most years they are so flighty they just don't stay still for long enough.  The photos taken using Nikon D700 with 105mm f2.8 macro lens and also the Canon G9 compact which is proving extremely useful for macro shots. You can shove the G9 right into the bushes and up to 1cm away from your subjects, it is just great!
