The tide was out leaving the wonderful colourful fishing boats in St. Ives Harbour waiting for it to return. / St. Ives is a great place to visit, it has a great beach, shops, fish & chips, pasty everything you will need for a great holiday or day trip, it even has a rail link.

This shot was taken with a Canon AE1 35mm camera about 15 years ago and scanned into the computer. Then I tweaked it a little in Photoshop Elements 5 High on top of Carn Brea (700 feet above sea level) you will find Carn Brea Castle which looks out at some stunning views of the surrounding countryside of Cornwall. Redruth, Brea, Carnkie and Camborne are a few of the towns near by. The Castle itself can be traced back to 1379. It is a stone twin towered fortress, built by the Bassett family and is inside the ramparts of the Iron Age hill fort. It was probably built has a hunting lodge, or as a chapel to St Michael. It has been restored and extended over the years, and today has the look of a modern folly, rather than a medieval fort. The views from this spot are splendid, and you can see for miles on a bright evening. / All the Materials Contained May Not Be Reproduced, Copied, Edited, Published, Transmitted or Uploaded In Anyway Without My Permission.

This one is slightly different but it is very special to me. I caught this shot of my brother, Ken, who was 2 years older than I am, as the sun was going down; I think he may have been watching a Buzzard over the cliffs of Portreath in Cornwall. I don’t have many photos of him but this one, which I have made part painting which is rubbish I know, who paints a sun like that? Well I found it hard to paint with the computer mouse. I forced the grain in the shot to look a bit like a canvas painting. But anyway, this one I like as it sums him up as a person. He loved nature, bird & animal watching, painting, craft making, photography, flowers, plants, gardening, and the outdoor life. He was in his element when he managed to get a job on a huge estate in Cornwall to help look after the grounds. This is where he died 5 years ago lying on the ground in a place he loved so much with the sun on his face and the animals and birds around him. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to go on. So, this is for Ken, my dear big brother with love from me, I miss you my friend. The shot was taken on my Canon AE1 35mm camera about 20 odd years ago and scanned into the computer.

Here in the photo it is autumn the trees and shrubs shed their leaves to form a carpet of golden yellow and rusty brown and it will lead you deeper into the woods for a journey to remember. But if we stop to think for just a moment about the whole process of life we get a better picture of what’s to come. As we walk along the pathway by the side of the murky pond we see many of the trees are now naked of their protection, their leaves. In spring the leaves grow and give shade to everything underneath, some flower and the birds live on the seeds then they fly off somewhere and when their food passes through them it lands on the earth and will grow into another tree starting the process off again. The leaves give life to the tiny creatures of the forest, ants; spider’s caterpillars to name but a few and other creatures live on these. Where there is life – it gives life. When autumn calls and the bad weather comes the leaves drop to feed the ground creatures and to feed the earth so other things may grow and live. Living is a cycle, we are born, we live and we die but when we die we help others to live. Isn’t life wonderful?

The pathway by the side of the pond with its carpet of golden yellow and rusty brown leaves lead you further on your journey.

I would like to dedicate this photo to ALL of you who are going through some form of trauma, hardship, pain or hurting in your lives at the moment. No matter what it is all will become good again soon. Trust in the process. This shot was taken on my Canon AE1 35mm camera about 35 years ago. I have always loved this photograph but the original shot has faded over the years so I have just scanned into the computer and then tweaked in Photoshop Elements 5. It almost has the feel of a painting to it, what do you think? And as to where it was taken, well I can’t remember, sorry, but I believe somewhere this side of London maybe in Hertfordshire? Sorry I don’t have any new photos for you yet that’s why I am going through the old shots again. Or do you prefer the painted version?

This is number two of three in my Devon series. I hope you like them and thank you very much for viewing my work. After shooting the Dipper, my wife and I walked along the river path to get to Watersmeet. And that’s just what it is, where the waters (rivers) meet and join each other. It was about two miles from Lynmouth and a beautiful walk and we were ready for a cup of tea and something to eat when we got there. We sat at a table outside of the Watersmeet cafe and the birds joined us for bits of food which they received from us but with the condition that they let us shoot them. I hope you like the results I have here. The middle bird is sharper than the outer two but I think that makes it work for me.

It saddens me when I come to the end of a series I have enjoyed compiling but unfortunately this is the thirteenth and the last one in my London Zoo series which I hope you have enjoyed. I wanted to end this series with my favourite shot: a full face photograph of the beautiful Asian Small Clawed Otter. They really are such beautiful creatures and I just adore them.

A low light shot of the boats above the harbour wall in St. Ives, Cornwall. I used a street light to my right and out of the frame as the main source of light and a little bit of flash.

I think this is the first time I was able to get as close as I was to this beautiful fellow. I was so pleased when I uploaded it onto the computer and saw the results. Believe me this has had selective colouring on the shot it is just that the owl is mainly white. The original shot was taken in The Cornish Birds of Prey Centre & Animal Park in Cornwall. I have been playing about with it again; a crop here to focus tight on his beautiful eyes and selective colouring there and this is the result which I love.

I have just been featured in; The Urban Wildlife Group and The Nikon DSLR Users Group I went for a walk today over to the Forty Hall Estate in Enfield for a couple of hours and this beautiful male Mandarin Duck was gliding gracefully across the lake with his female in tow. I was so happy the way this one turned out. The weather was a little overcast but that gave a fantastic balanced light making the colour of this lovely duck stand out really well. I hope you like the shot and thank you so much for viewing my work, please come again soon.

I took this shot or the old fence in front of the Rape Seed fields while in the area of Hadley Wood. It is close to the border of Hertfordshire and is located in the London Borough of Enfield. A lot of high class properties are in this area with A list celebrities residing in them. The day was a little overcast and somewhat hazy in the distance but I love this shot for the beautiful colour of the rape seed fields and of course the main feature, the old fence in the foreground weathered with age. The B&W version is my favourite as it brings out more detail in the timber of the fence and is more dramatic.

I took this shot in the Stoke Poges memorial gardens which is in Buckinghamshire. The grounds are beautifully set out as a final resting place for your ashes. I love the way the single flower here looks like a guiding light or a bright beacon to attract the creatures from the pond to it and also the way the blue sky is reflecting on the surface of the water.

We were on our way out to Stoke Poges the other day and on the way we stopped off to see the horses in a field. This one seemed to be saying something to us and Lee Martin, who just happens to speak horse told us what he was saying. (Is there anything this hairless guy can’t do? LOL) HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny.” LEE – “He say I ain’t getting on no plane fool.” HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny” LEE – “He say why am I talking like that?” HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny” LEE – “He say Tony takes better photo’s than I do.” HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny” LEE – “And so does Tina and even Jackie” HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny” LEE – “And most of the people on Red Bubble” HORSE – “Whinny, Whinny, Whinny” LEE – “Shut up horse, what do you know anyway?” HORSE – “Plenty now get your hairless head out of my field.” LEE as he climbs over the gate – “I don’t know what the world is coming to these days there is no conversation anymore” LOL Sorry guys, I got carried away, again. The horse was actually warning either us or the other horses in the field not to get too close to his mate and young foal.

So this was the view we woke up to every morning from our lovely studio apartment in Abriachan, Scotland. This shot was about 9.30 in the evening. The sky darkened for more rain as did the foreground but it was so beautifully lit on the mountains and gave us a slight rainbow to gaze over. In the dip between the trees and mountains and out of sight was Loch Ness. I hope you like the photo and thank you so much for viewing my work, please call back again soon.

I bet any males looking are now quite disappointed that there isn’t a babe here for them to look at? LOL This is my second shot from the British Wildlife Centre. The centre is just ten minutes away from the M25 motorway, junction 6 in Newchapel on the A22 Eastbourne Road in Surrey. This beautiful Red Fox kept looking at me then turning away then back to me again as if asking; “Have you got the shot yet? ” And when I had the one I wanted she trotted off. The Red Fox is one of my favourite animals and I know they steal from farmers and are shot if caught and were hunted by dogs and people on horseback with nothing better to do but rip the poor creature to pieces but they are just so beautiful, look at her face, how could you hurt one of God’s wonderful creatures as beautiful as she is?

My wife, Jackie and I had a great trip out to the beautiful Leeds Castle, which is in the county of Kent, on Saturday and had a wonderful time being transported back through 900 years of our history. The castle and grounds are simply stunning and well worth a visit if ever you are in that part of the world. I hope you like the photo and thank you so much for viewing my work, please call back again soon. The following text has been copied from the Leeds castle website; Leeds Castle, set on two islands on the River Len in the heart of Kent, has been home to royalty, lords and ladies for more than 900 years. The castle you see today is the result of over 900 years of alterations and changes. It has Norman foundations; a mediaeval gatehouse; the Gloriette, built by Edward I and updated in Henry VIII’s times; a Tudor tower; and a 19th century country house – all of which were substantially refurbished in the 20th century. The last private owner of the castle, Olive, Lady Baillie, left an indelible mark on the place. The heiress to an American fortune from her mother’s family and the daughter of an English Lord, she married three times. It was with her second husband, Arthur Wilson Filmer that she bought the castle in 1926, and embarked on a complete refurbishment, using the finest French architects and designers to create an elegant country residence. She filled the castle with art and antiques, collected on her frequent buying trips around Europe, and with glamorous house parties at which she entertained princes, film stars and politicians. Her guests enjoyed the use of the castle’s cinema, swimming pool, squash and tennis courts, and marvelled at the extraordinary creatures in the grounds; Lady Baillie’s fascinating collection of birds and waterfowl, zebras and llamas as well as the more usual horses and dogs. Leeds Castle passed into royal hands in 1278 and became part of the Queen of England’s dower – the settlement widowed queens received upon the death of their husbands. Over the course of 150 years it was held by six mediaeval queens: Eleanor of Castile; Margaret of France; Isabella of France, Joan of Navarre; Anne of Bohemia and Catherine de Valois. In Tudor times Henry VIII visited frequently, notably with his Queen, Catherine of Aragon, and their entire court on the way to the tournament of the Field of the Cloth of Gold, which took place in France in 1520. Henry’s son, King Edward VI, granted the castle to one of Henry’s courtiers for his services.

I was just having some ‘ME’ time again and playing around in Photoshop Elements 7 So, there I was the other day having a walk up at the Forty Hall Estate which is in Enfield, England and I came face to face with a budding squirrel paparazzi photographer. I did laugh because he looked as though he was straight out of the Nikon College for paparazzi beginners. He took a few quick shots of me before realising I was nobody special and of no particular importance before rushing off to shoot a couple who looked a little like Brad Squid and Angelina Pony. Well his loss eh? LOL I hope you like the photo and thank you so much for viewing my work, please call back again soon.
