Just taken delivery of a Nikkor 55mm f2.8micro lens. First impressions are that it's a little beauty and the build quality is so much nicer than any of my newer Nikkor lenses! All metal, made in Japan and has that nice weighty solid feel to it. The lens itself looks and feels brand new. Here's a...

"Neighbours" feral cat

My Spaniel Jasper

Black headed gull, if only all birds were such willing subjects! I think this goes to show that if you get close enough you can get nice results with a basic setup, even when not shooting in RAW (I'll get there some day).

Macro isn't my top priority and so if I'm going to do it it's going to be on a budget (for now). I've recently been playing about with a cheap set of borrowed extension tubes (no electronic connections) and its given me the urge to get into it a little more. My aim is to keep within a budget of...

Sadly both the old and new versions of this lens are beyond my budget at the moment. I've been looking at older glass on ebay but know next to nothing about a lot of them. I came across a Nikkor 300mm f4.5, AI lens, Nikon F series, the description says it "It takes great pictures on digital...

Just come across this deal on Ebay and I'm getting one of those too good to be true feelings. Nikon D7100 Digital SLR Camera Body +3 Year UK Warranty *IN UK* | eBay It says it is in the UK so no import fees etc. and they're offering a 3 warranty. I'm guessing its a grey import so wouldn't get...

No sharpening done on this shot of a friendly Robin. This is quite a close crop but the detail looks great to me.

I've just spent a very enjoyable 4-5 days in the West Highlands of Scotland. I didn't manage to photograph a lot of what I wanted to, I would have loved to have gotten pictures of Eagles and Otters or even a majestic Red Stag but it wasn't to be. On my previous trip I took lousy photos of...

Here's a couple from a trip to the West Highlands of Scotland last weekend. Fulmer I think this is a first winter Great black-backed gull but all juvenile gulls tend to look the same to me. I like the second shot as its one of my first attempts at a BIF shot with a slower shutter speed...

Entry #2 The Walled Garden.

Hi All, So I'm looking to get a monopod but don't really know where to start. I currently own a very cheap tripod, which is fine as I use it very little anyway. A monopod on the other hand I foresee using quite a lot and I want to buy one that will last me many years to come. Wildlife...

Entry #1 "Red legs on the run". Apologies to those who have seen this on my not so daily 365.

A few from a farm I was working on today. Abandon old tanker. Red legs on the run. Meadow Pipit reflection.

Well I thought I was about to post a first on here but it seems I'm about 11 days to late. Photos of a European Red Squirrel Sciurus vulgaris taken in Northumberland England. My job is to protect these little critters through eradicating as many grey squirrels as possible in the area...

All Saints Church taken from the High Level bridge, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Crossing Newcastle's High Level Bridge for the first I found the fence covered in padlocks. Might have to make a trip back up and add my own and taken a few more different shots sometime soon. Wish I'd have taken this one for last months "Colourful bokeh" challenge...
