Barn owl coming into land.

Got my arse in gear, grabbed the camera and went looking for barn owls this afternoon.

Male Kingfisher.
One of my favourite little birds to photograph.

Chase.
His original owners mistreated him, they shot him twice with an airgun and discarded him out of moving car on a roundabout. He ended up in a rescue centre.
We fostered him through his surgical recovery and adopted him shortly after.
He has been with us 8.5 years and is around 12 yrs old.

Lovely set. Always good when the sky plays ball and delivers a gorgeous sunset and stunning light at the right time.

A gorgeous Red Kite from this afternoon. Cold and grey outside but you don't always need blingy skies and I think the white sky accentuates the plumage.

R5 +100-500mm

I didn’t do a lot in X either. I used to post a fair bit on IG back in the day (several years ago) not so much now. Chuck is a follow if you want to see some lovely nhants nature mixed in with some other more random stuff.

We have lovely grounds at the hospital where I work.

Been there many a time with my dogs. Why do they love rolling in fox poo so much?!? It absolutely stinks.

Sunset Swan. - Delapre Lake, Northampton.
Taken shortly after the rain stopped and the sunset lit up the departing rainclouds.

Fallen Angel.
The lovely Charlie Barr from a studio shoot a few years ago.

Have to disagree. Love a decent mince pie and Christmas pud!

Phone in the left, keys etc in the right. Doing anything else is just weird.

Kirkjufell, Iceland.
My 50th birthday present from the wife was a surprise trip to Iceland. I’d always wanted to get a shot like this.
Although, there wasn’t much solar activity whilst we were out there, we made the most of the one night they did come out to play. #aurora #iceland #kirkjufell

That is stunning.

Harmonogram.
This is a photograph.
A programable LED was suspended on a pendulum with a camera mounted on a second pendulum beneath.
Shooting long exposure and varying the pendulum harmonics leads to some beautiful results.

Hope your back is better soon. Nothing worse.

Haha - I remember the pre-internet era of acoustic couplers, prestel, bbs and connecting at speeds of 1275 (1200 baud (bps) download and 75 baud upload) or 300/300.

Another late night photo from Venice.

Yeah, I think it’s something most photographers try at some point. Great to see if you still have any.

Lovely shot.

Anyone else down steel wool photography? Feel feee to post in the comments.

Dawn Swan. Delapre, Northampton.

Having selected this as my banner photo when I joined, I guess I should actually post it here!

Canon 600D 10-22mm, 3 shot AEB processed in Photomatix and LR.

“Smoker on the Bridge”, Venice.
A bar worker takes a smoke break at around 1am as I took a late night wander around the city with my camera. Far less tourists with selfie sticks at that time of day. In the background is the iconic bridge of sighs.

Barn Owl - a local barn owl taking food back to its young.

One of my favourite birds, great to watch them hunting locally.

Snout Jousting! Never heard that as a name for it. Love it.

Chase is getting on a bit now but still plays it with our terrier Smudge. Although, he targets the back legs of the terrier rather than face.

Thanks. Loads of great memories and photos of her and all of the dogs. She was an RSPCA surrender. When we first got her she was scared of everything and clearly been badly mistreated. Took time to get her to come out or herself but she had 9 good years with us.
