Update on our Resident Foxes

A couple of updates on our resident Foxes! As you can see from this still shot, I’m now certain this is the Vixen and that she has recently given birth. You can clearly see her enlarged nipples on her underside. The last few clips on the video below clearly show them.

I’ve also noticed a pattern over the last week. I have been filming them every night and the same thing happens. Last night it happened twice. The Male Fox comes to feed and after a few visits, he’ll return and pickup as much food as he can fit in his mouth. Then between 7 and 10 minutes later, the Vixen shows up. I can only assume that the Male is taking food back to her to eat and then she comes and visits herself. Last night this pattern occurred twice.

Check out the video from last night and I’ve added the times of each clip so you’ll see what I mean. It was very gusty last night so the Foxes where a bit more jumpy than usual which is why the Male in the “2nd sitting” performs multiple grab and runs! Remember to switch to HD where possible.

Land Rover Owner/Britpart 2016 Calendar

As an owner and fanatic of the Land Rover Defender (you can often see me out in the countryside on Greenlanes) the Land Rover Owner/Britpart Calendar competition last year was a great challenge, I also had a use for the £200 prize to spend on Britpart goodies!

I never hid the fact that my winning entry was heavily photoshopped. The actual photo was taken in the day and the shot of the Milky Way was taken from my garden. Both images where merged as layers in Photoshop and then I set to work making it look like night time and adding the effect of the lights being turned on.
So, can I do it again this year? The entries are now open and I’ve already got the idea for a photo and this year I can hopefully do it without the help of Photoshop. I just need to find the perfect location.

I got snapped taking snaps of the Eclipse

It’s not very often I’m the subject of the photo!

You may think I’m being a bit stupid here, looking straight at the Eclipse through the camera. However, as I had 2 filters (ND8 and Circular Polariser) attached and also had polaroid lenses in my sunglasses, it was quite dark coming through.

Welcome!

Welcome to my new photography website/blog. I’ve held off for a while from creating my own site but now feel that I have enough content and words to try my hand at a photography blog site! Not only will I share my photographs but also all of my experiences and where possible share my thoughts on camera gear too.

Don’t forget to follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube and Flickr.
