Sun behind tree on Aldreth Causeway

26 August 2013. Another one of those do I go or do I stay mornings. However the google weather was forecasting an initial mist clearing into a sunny day. Lola was as keen as ever to go. However it wasn't 'til we started to return to the car that the low cloud started to breakup enough to allow the sun to appear. Canon 5Diii and favourite 70-200 mm f/2.8 L, 1/160 sec at f/16; ISO 160.

Farne Islands

Patty, Hannah and I went on an evening boat trip to the Farne Islands in June. Special thanks to the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management for arranging it. Photos are now up under Glorious Britain.

Fenland sunrise

17 August 2013. Just one of those mornings where you wake and as soon as you look out of the window you know you've got to grab the camera and run. Lola and I were out of the door within minutes. We just missed sunrise but the light was still lovely as we walked up to the river. Canon 5Diii and 70-200 mm at 200 mm. Three photos blended in Photoshop and then adjusted in Lightroom.

Barn owl

Lola and I saw this owl on our Easter Saturday pre-breakfast dog walk. Really needed something bigger than a 70-200 mm but pleased at least to get my first owl in flight shots. Taken with Canon 5Diii and EF70-200 mm f/2.8L at 200 mm. Exposure was 1/200 sec at f/5.6; ISO 320

Daffodils under the snow

24 March 2013. Coldest March for 50 years and the garden and countryside have provided some unexpected opportunities to do some more winter photography. Taken with nifty 50 mm f/1.8 II with an exposure of 1/1600 sec at f/2.8; ISO 100, +1 EV
