The Red Deer are looking healthy

The Red Deer are looking healthy

I am so lucky to be able to regularly find lovely animals like this near to where I live.  I have been photographing red deer for a number of years and have known this group of stags for around 8 years.  There now seems to only be 3 but they are looking very strong and healthy this year.

When Joanne and I visited Thailand recently we went to watch some Thai Boxing.

It started with a junior match and then steadily built up to the star fight of the evening via different categories and a ladies bout.  Oddly after the senior fight they finished with a couple of 5 year olds.

Birds of Pennington Marshes

Birds of Pennington Marshes

Whenever I get good light and calm conditions I try to get down to Pennington Marshes, Lymington which is here in the New Forest National Park.  Although I have always been interested in birds, for me, it’s more about the photography rather than ticking a bird list.  Having said that some of the rarer birds create more captivating images.  Technique is very important and I continue to experiment there but it’s all about the light and learning about your subject.  Hope you like the photos.

If you would like to find out a bit more I do offer personal tuition or small workshops or even simple guide services.
