Red Panda Had a visit to Marwell Zoo in August and got some shots of a Red Panda, quite hard as they are very shy. #nature #naturephotography #photograpy #zoo #animals #panda #redpanda

These cormorant statues are scatted through Newhaven in the UK, they were created by Christian Funnell who has also created seats for Seaford and a candle stick for the Chapel Royal in Brighton. #art

I quite like the old UTC@Harbourside building in Newhaven; it faces the west, so it catches the light at the end of the day, and then the colours of the windows create pleasing reflections on the river.

Join me for a short walk along West Quay in Newhaven, UK outside of the visible light spectrum.

Collection of my favourite wildflower posts.

One of the recurring plants in my walk was the various thistle species. I'll take you through what I found.

As I walk through the fields I try to capture some what what I see through the lens of my camera.

Learn about the Herring Gull, these creatures are on the "red list" but there is much we can do to help.

I've been experimenting with my Full-Spectrum Modified Sony A5000 with a Hoya R72 filter, trying to capture some infra-red imaging. I've post-processed these images to give them some false colour. The

Wacky IR Edits I'm trying some more stylistic edits of my IR photos still using the base level LUT but messing with hue shifting and saturation to get that otherworld look. What do you think? #photography

Infrared Photography I'm still experimenting with infrared photography with my A5000 and 720nm filter, I've sorted out the presets now - these are with the red and blue channel swapped. #infraredphotography

Join me in exploring the lavender patch with my camera, meet the bees and other insects who live in this habitat.

Herring gulls Herring gulls are not my favourite animal, they can be a bit of a bully and spend too much time feeding on bins rather than on the sea. Still, they are beautiful creatures. #photography

The honeybees were out this evening, loving the lavender as ever! #nature #photography #naturephotography #macrophotography #bees #insects

Sometimes things wandering into shot is great news... #photography #macrophotography #nature #naturephotography #bees #insects

We tend not to look for flowers above our eye-line. Many trees blossom and produce flower heads way above our heads.

Blackberry Bush It's great to see the Blackberry Bush flowers in my local park, the blooms won't last for long and will provide food for birds and insects in a few months' time. #nature #photography

Join me for a photo walk through a local park, looking at the trees, animals and flowers that brighten my day.

Insects Insects are in rapid decline due to the use of insecticides, herbicides and habitat destruction - soon all we will have left are photographs :( #insects #teambees #photography #macrophotography

Infra-red Photography I've been experimenting with Infra-red Photography for the last few days with a full-spectrum modified Sony A5000, Sigma 16mm and a Hoya R72 filter. #photography #infraredphotography
