Augusted
The beginning of August was busy! Rather strangely, though, I don’t appear to have a lot of photos to show for it.

There are times in your life when things get you down and, no matter how hard you try, you can’t hide it. I think the beginning of this year has been a good example of this for me. Despite the warming temperatures and the longer days, and everything I’ve yearned for over the last six … Read more QUIET
I’ve now officially been a DSLR photographer for 15 years! Although I got my first digital camera in 2000 – an Olympus Camedia 350 Zoom, then a Fuji S5500 in 2004 – it wasn’t until the 19th of May 2008 that I purchased my first DSLR. The camera I bought – the system I decided … Read more Digital In 15 – 19th May 2008
Despite my January optimism, February has been quite a disappointment. Mostly the issue is timing, with sometimes a decent amount of sunshine during the week but then densely overcast skies at the weekends. It’s infuriating. It didn’t help that my car had something of a fit while we were visiting friends in Lincolnshire – enough … Read more Not a Fab Feb
Gimme a Break of Dawn It’s happening at last! The days are getting noticeably longer. It’s no longer nighttime when we arrive at work, nor when we leave at the end of the day.

Although the temperatures climbed again before the end of the … Read more December Update: Fridays and Weekends

There is little to no new work in, or even on the horizon, and nothing is currently expected until well into the new year. During the busy period, we dreamed of this time. Now that it’s here, I think … Read more November Update: Colonies and Sanctuaries
The long story It’s now more than a year since I picked up my Nikon D5300 on Gumtree and once again it’s coming into its own. In July 2021, I posted about the advantage of having a 24 megapixel APS-C camera over a 36 megapixel full-frame camera for macro work. Once again I’m doing the … Read more D5300 Beats The Crop Out Of The D800
With temperatures beginning to plummet and the hours of daylight melting away from both ends of the day right now, the time available for photography is becoming incredibly precious. Now that we’re into October the sun won’t rise until we’re at work and it will have set before we leave for home. The only times … Read more The Weekend Photo Warrior
