I just picked up what I think is an awesome new camera bag for £29.99, a Goji Adventure. I bought it from PC World/Currys but hadn't seen it in store before and I can't find it listed anywhere online either which is curious. Anyway it has lots of room for gear, I just fit two bodies, one with...

August was all about red squirrels for me, this was my favourite shot. Yesterday I gave a framed 8x10" print to my Dad for his 67th birthday.

This is a quick edit doing those things I mentioned. Think its overdone a bit and would be better if working from the original raw file. I would actually bring the colours back a bit. A crop would also help as shown above.

A couple in B&W

A few that made me smile. "You scratch my back and I'll scratch your......" "What you looking at?" "Look at me, look at me!"

Not "wild" life as such but still funny I think. Upside down photo bombing

I spent my birthday at Edinburgh Zoo. Lots of shots in dim light and through glass and wire but I'm happy with the shots I managed to get. This tiger photo is probably my favourite.

Britain's only native squirrel. More in my 365 thread http://nikonites.com/project-365-and-daily-photos/25053-elliots-often-i-can-8.html?highlight=elliot#axzz3hmy9IVtM

Some more red squirrels pics.

My job is to ensure these little guys continue to exist in Northumberland. Unfortunately that means a lot of grey squirrel trapping and I don't get much chance to stop and photograph the reds. Today I got to spend a couple of pretty special hours watching these reds at a local country park...

I didn't get out with the camera much in July, so not many to choose from but I like this one best.

I think this had the potential to be an exceptional shot but I was definitely the limiting factor. I love the back lighting and the composition with the steps but in the dim light I was really struggling to manually focus and I don't think this is as sharp and in focus as it could be. I think my...

Eggleston gardens

Went on a short trip to the North Pennines AONB (area of outstanding natural beauty) today but didn't take a single landscape shot. Did find some possible spots to go back to when the light will make for an interesting shot. Here's a few random shots from the day, starting with some Llamas...

@mikew the only extension tubes I have don't have electronic connections so I can't use them on my 70-300mm. I suspect that the IQ with the 55mm and 2xTC would be much better than what I would get with the 70-300mm, on its own the 55mm is far sharper as I think you can see from the 3 shots...

I love my 55mm but for photographing insects like butterflies but it really isn't long enough. As a result I've been thinking about getting a Sigma 105mm or Tamron/Tokina equivalents. But is this one situation where I have a shortcut that will save me lots of money and not leave me disappointed...
