Hidden World

This image was taken in Marsa Alam in Egypt. I like the subtle colours of this photograph and I think I am going to work on this more over the next couple of months. 

Road Kill

Today is a bit more morbid. A dead Red Fox found lying on the side of the road. It was in very good condition and looked like it had hardly been hit. Very sad to see and very strange to be able to get close to a fox after so many attempts to get shots in the wild. 

First Ever Seal Pup

Yesterday I saw my first ever grey seal pup in the wild. An awesome sight, it was feeding with its mother. within the next few months the seal pupping season begins and more will begin to be sighted. 

Dipper In Progress

Recently I have been up and out every morning trying to photograph dipper. It has been a painful process of trial and error but at last I think I have come to the conclusion that it is not ging to be possible to get a shot! It is far too dark and the image of the bird below was taken at 2.5 seconds exposure at 1600 iso. hopefully I can get something better soon but its testing my patience. 

My hide Set up. Once I have a reliable technique I will lower my camera to the ground to get an ultra low angle. Hopefully with some nice light, and some luck I will get something worth while. 

Dipper

I have been photographing dipper over the last few days and have basically just been trying to solve problems each day. Firstly is the issue of the light. I am trying to find the best time of day to go for the best lighting and also tie this in with times when the birds are active.  Also is disturbance from people around you. Today a woman stood 3 meters away from my hide and through stones in the the river for 10 minuets before she eventually got bored and kept walking. I will keep trying and hopefully keep improving. 

Bubble Ring

This image was taken at Porthkerris on the South Coast of Cornwall. I freedived down to around 10 meters and blew a bubble ring which rose towards the surface. I had already asked my instructor (Saltfreedivers, Freedive Cornwall)  to lie on the surface face down and I framed her within the ring and got this shot.  Let me know what you think.

Kestrel 2

Here is another kestrel image from my shoot last week. I am happy with this image as the light was amazing. However I would like to get slightly more of the body in the shot.
