These are the might have been shoots the times when it was almost or could have been perfect. They normally happen for me when my photography is tagged onto something else, and this is the story of this video. Join me as I try to fit a photography vlog into a whistle stop trip from Nottinghamshire to Wick on the far North East tip of Scotland. A fight with time and weather, changing plans and looking back at what more time and better light could have lead to. Ah well there's always next time.
Wildlife Photography - Don't Give Up
Ever have one of those days where despite all your best efforts and using all your skill the wildlife just won't play ball. Well don't worry it happens to us all. In this weeks video I had intended to shoot at some local woodland but with terrible light conditions I changed my plans and headed for the newly harvested fields. I set everything up for success but the wildlife is absent. But perseverance pays off and I do eventually get a reward for the early start and hours of work.
After The Harvest - Wildlife Photography as the Fields Open Up Again
The last few months it has been difficult to take pictures of the wildlife in my local area. With the fields full of arable crops most wildlife can pass un-noticed. This week saw the first combined harvesters in the fields around me and after glimpsing some roe deer ears above the crop I take the opportunity to try and get some images as they emerge to feed on the crops not collected by the farmer.
Creating Ghostly Infrared Images
In this video I pursue my long held fascination with the ghostly side of infrared photography. In the past I have used film cameras to achieve this, this time I use my Sony A6400 paired with a sixty year old (at least) East German lens and an infrared filter to produce some ghostly images from Ossington Estate a few miles from my home.

How I found and Photographed Fox Cubs
This week I use the knowledge gained from last weeks video on photographing badgers to help me find a family of fox's and there cubs. Follow me as I try to get into a position to watch these beautiful animals. I am also able to film and photograph while leaving the family undisturbed.
In Search Of Badgers
As we race towards the longest day in the UK, now is the perfect time to find your local badger sett and watch these beautiful mammals. In this video I begin the task of trying to get some images of these elusive creatures. In my previous videos I have shown you how to locate a badger sett and the signs to look for. This time I show you how I set up to photograph them and lets just say as can often be the case things don't really go to plan.
