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. I do believe it is one of my better ones. My shot -Snowy Owl has been featured in the following four groups: In the Core [C.O.R.E.] Group In the Zoophoria Group In Animal photography Group And in the All That Is Nature Group 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 hope you like it and thank you for viewing. The selective colouring was made in Photoshop Elements 6 NIKON D60 DSLR / F-stop f/9 / Exposure time 1/500 sec / ISO speed 100 / Aperture priority / Focal length 190 mm on a 70 – 300 mm Nikon lens This was the original colour shot.

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 – - which is nearly 20 past 2 pm, LOL – Sorry! 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.

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.

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.

I went for a walk the other day over to the Forty Hall Estate in Enfield for a couple of hours and this beautiful male Mandarin Duck, the colourful one was gliding gracefully across the lake with his female in tow, the plain one. I thought I better upload this one so you can see the difference between the two ducks. I hope you like the shot and thank you so much for viewing my work, please come back soon.

Wave Power has been featured in the Britain’s Coastline Group All my life the sea has held a fascination for me especially when it is rough like it was on this day in Portreath in Cornwall. The waves were smashing high over the harbour wall with a tremendous living power. But millions of years ago there was a forest here in Portreath before the sea covered it which was probably after the ice melted from the famous ice age. Many of the beasts living here would have been killed or evolved to live in the sea or to move inland. Evidence of the forest still can be found to this day if you swim out a little way from the harbour and dive down you will come across the petrified remains of it. The planet is forever spinning day in and day out, evolution moves with it. Things are born, they live, they die and in their death others feed so they may live on to start the process over and over again. It is our living planet, our home and we move onwards with it. It is always worth a visit to Portreath which is near to Redruth and also near to where I used to live in a village called Illogan. Portreath has great some of the best surfing next to Newquay of course and a small beach, cliff walks and the pasties here are the best around.

I know you have seen this beautiful Snowy Owl in my collection before as #10 but I wanted to redo it and try a tighter crop on it this time as I have done before with other shots and I think it has worked, do you agree with me? / When I said to this cheeky little fellow, say cheese he gave me a wink, LOL / I took the shot in ‘The Cornish Birds of Prey Centre & Animal Park’ The centre is near Newquay in Cornwall.

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 hope you like the shot and thank you so much for viewing my work, please call back again soon. NIKON D60 DSLR / F-stop f/16 / Exposure time 1/125 sec / ISO speed 1250 / Aperture Priority / Focal length 55 mm on a 18 – 55 mm Nikon lens Or perhaps you like the B&W shot better?

My next series will probably be the last for a while as I will be writing a book with Carrie Glen and I will need all of my energy (such as it is) on that project. However, I will be looking at your work from time to time so you won’t get off that easily and I may upload a photo now and again. So my last series will be in The Cornish Birds of Prey Centre & Animal Park and funny enough it is in Cornwall. There will be about nine shots in the series. Jackie and I took my mum there for a treat for her 79th birthday when we were in Cornwall recently and the results I have from that day turned out quite cool. I want to thank you for looking at my work I do so appreciate it. The usual happened though, because I was taking the shots I wasn’t listening to Andy, one of the guys who helps run the centre and I can’t remember what bird is what or who is who. Yes I could guess at it and I may get it right but I’d rather let you tell me with your knowledge of wildlife. So I am just going to name them, #1 through to #9. The centre is between St. Columb Major and Wadebridge along the A39 road which is a turn off from the A30. It is open seven days a week between Easter and the end of October from 10am – 5pm. And the best thing is it only costs £6.50 for an adult to get in. There are some fantastic flying displays held daily normally at: 12pm – 2pm and 4pm weather permitting of course. Believe me it is just a wonderful day out with so many birds and animals to see and you can get quite close to some of them as you will see in my shots. The guys who run the centre, Andy, Kelly, Kath and Mick are so friendly towards you, you won’t want to leave and you can get a decent cup of tea in Olly’s Snack Shack and Gift shop. A lot of the birds and animals are there because their original owners couldn’t cope with them or were very cruel to them. My mum, Jackie and I fell in love with the place and I have sent them over one hundred of my photographs (bird and animals) on a couple of CD’s to help their business to grow. It is just something I wanted to do to help the centre, to help the owners and mainly to help the wildlife there.

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. Thank you for looking – until next time goodbye for now.

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.

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.

This is Ollie, my sister’s beautiful, 6 ½ year old ginger Tom cat.

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?

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?

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

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.
