Night photography

 Once again I am doing more during the hours of darkness and I am thoroughly enjoying it. The badger comes quite often but obviously doesn't like its photo taken.  I believe I know were the sett is and if I am right it comes down a busy road about 200m spends about 20 minutes in the garden, rarely facing the camera.
This is the vixen, she comes from the woods at the back of my house. The hedgehog lives in my neighbours garden, I have built it a two roomed bungalow in a quiet corner of the garden which I hope it will move into soon. They seem to get on well together and are often seen feeding side by side.

About Me

My photo
Evacuated during the second world war to a village in Yorkshire where I lived in the home of a good photographer for more than five years who taught me the basics and a great deal about nature. Well past retirement age I have been a wildlife photographer for more than 30 years. Red Kites have been my speciality for much of this period. I did spend several years snapping wheelchair athletes and organizing the British Road Race Championship. In the year 2000 I was awarded a distinction by the Royal Photographic Society for my portfolio on wheelchair athletes. Most of my pics are digital, using Sony cameras and Sigma lenses. I used to spend many weeks each year with friends in Wales which is close to the Elan Valleys where I got many of my raptor pics. I now get these pictures more closely to home, specially red kites and peregrines. I support my pension by selling my pics, cards, coasters, fridge magnets and key rings etc. at craft fairs, something I wish I had done much earlier in life. I give illustrated talks to clubs and societies on wildlife and other branches of photography that I have been involved in.
