What a great deal I found in the classifieds last week... a Bausch & Lomb Discoverer 60mm Spotting Scope, with tripod! I have purchased the adapters for my camera, and can not wait to start taking pics of the moon, wildlife, etc... In fact, I've seen a bald eagle resting in a tree on certain ...

The other day I was asked about background separation. The shot you see here was taken this morning at a distance of 94.4 metres (as measured by the camera), and is a 20% crop of the frame coverage. Looking at the reeds in the background, and the duck, you can see that there is a marked differ...

I was disturbed early Wednesday evening by a constant Miaow,miaow coming from the kitchen. I thought who has brought the remains of what in now :) To my surprise,what was staring up at me from the kitchen floor was a Woodmouse.

Yesterday I took a tour to a hide on the edge of a forest. Yes, a tour. It's the only way to get in, because it's private property, and only the gamekeeper and his paying guests are allowed on the property and in the hide. (Fortunately it wasn't very expensive, only six euros, and for that we go...

Of the Third Kind, no less! Not with aliens, though. With horses. Wild horses. Well, semi-wild, officially. (Is that Wildlife category, or Pets/Captive Animals? Will have to decide before I upload. Hmmm. Animals in a reserve. Wild or not???) Anyway, I took my dog on a photo outing tonight. The...

Phew, what a weekend! Only now getting time to catch my breath... 700 visitors to the Pegwell country Park for the KWT 50th anniversary event and it seemed like most of them stopped to ask questions about digital wildlife photography! The great thing was, most seemed to go away happy with their an...
