Sony Bridge Camera for Macro Shots

I got the Sony RX10 Mk 3 earlier this year to accompany my SLR as a second camera on a trip to Africa. I thought " 1 inch sensor, well we will see..." very surprised at the quality of the files especially when using Raw. But never thought I'd be usi...

Getting Bigger

Almost teenagers now. Parents leave them alone while they go off to feed. Taken through my dirty kitchen window so as not to disturb them hence the haze.

Two Chicks

I was a bit worried about the woodpigeon chick as the only protection from the sun is by way of a few laburnum leaves. But fear not! There are TWO chicks and I managed to get a couple of shots of them being fed, one each side of mum's beak. Gorgeo...

My Carniverous Plant Moves House

I like my Venus Fly Trap and it's been doing quite well this year. So far it must have had almost 10 flies and other assorted insects, probably helped by the green bin only being collected every two weeks. It's part of the offensive against flies, al...
