Lion cub - part of a breeding and release project in Zimbabwe. This was taken with a 1/3200 sec shutter speed. f/1.4 isn't optimal for this 50mm lens, but at least the shutter speed freezes all motion. As usual with wildlife, the eyes are the most important thing [...]
Here are the photos from this fantastic event. I also shot a short film of the event. See below to buy digital images or prints. There are many more images for the 50K Holy Island to Craster leg than for the 100K and 100 mile events. That's because the field got increasingly strung [...]
Male purple-crowned woodnymph hummingbird, Costa Rica. This shot required a very fast shutter speed of 1/4000 s as well as flash. It was also manually pre-focussed Photographing birds in flight is one of the most common things to want to achieve in wildlife photography, but it can be fiendishly [...]
Admittedly this is a crap picture of a sub adult hen harrier snapped in France while I was on holiday last year. The point is that there are no English hen harriers to photograph I put this question up on a photography forum today to hopefully engender some [...]
This is my short film of the event. Hope you enjoy it! If you'd like to see the photographs from the event, or would like to buy a picture, please see this post.

Scientific advice has been consistently against the effectiveness of shooting badgers to control bovine TB. [...]

Pelargoniums aren't the first place you'd think of if you were trying to locate the nest of a pair of grey wagtails. Thankfully, this pair in Northumberland don't think like this and have successfully raised a brood of chicks this year. It certainly makes nice photographs! Nice floral arrangement [...]
Sky's Geraint Thomas time-trials the 20th stage (and a couple of weeks later, wins gold in the Commonwealth Games road race) I’ve fallen head-long in love with Le Tour. This has surprised me as, in years gone by, I’ve thought of the world’s highest profile cycling race as [...]
