My new I/R camera



My new I/R camera arrived yesterday, an early birthday present from Jacque, and what a camera, half the price of my previous cameras and 10 times better. Harder to set up but once it is done. Wow!
 A fox came along to join him,  They were about 3m from the camera so I was very pleased with the result which has so much more detail and a lot sharper than any of my other I/R cameras.
These two know each other well and the fox greets the hog with a kiss.
 The fox has a good look round to see if there is anything else of interest.
He has one last little snack before he goes home,
When daylight comes the blackbirds arrive to clean up, These photo's were taken on one camera setting.

    Ha,ha,Mike. I think the fox was more interested in a meal than kissing all those spikes. That camera definitely does the business for you.

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.
