I enjoy photography, thunderstorms, listening to the blues, and horror films. You might find me chasing storms across North America, hunting the aurora in the night sky, or on the coast during a wind storm.

The last few outings haven't been a great success for any decent bird images. Maybe I'd been somewhat lucky recently and perhaps a little distracted with some mildly interesting weather coming my way (another post). Anyway, here are some squirrels that I'd spotted over the last few weeks and had saved on my hard drive.
Man these things are tricky to photograph and they look so small in the frame. My lens is out at a 420mm equivalent and I'm thinking I need (at least) double that for a good shot of these. The Chiffchaff, I've heard lots recently (they don't shut up, ha) but never actually spotted until today, and the Long Tailed...
These turned out quite nice for some of my first inflight shots. The bird detection on the OM1 is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here, but this is really fun to mess around with. The Robin shot was using the ProCapture feature at ISO 10,000! I'm really impressed with the high ISO performance of the OM1 when...
I was about ready to leave. I'd spent a frustrating couple of hours without being able to capture anything, not even so much as a Robin. I was having one final attempt at a couple of Great Tits when I caught a glimpse of some hind legs disappearing on the track ahead of me. I'd spotted a deer yesterday and wasn't...
A few of the better captures from this weekend. Any light for photography was awful, thanks to the persistent mist and fog (permistent? meh.) for the last few days. Nearly every image was horrendously backlit and the wildlife was just as persistent in staying up high. I'm still stalking the Woodpeckers, nothing seen...
Southerly winds are bringing dust from the Sahara over the next few days and a good chance for some nice sunsets/sunrises; with both still at reasonable times of the day (no stupidly early sunrise) it's so much easier to try and photograph both. Not that sunrise or sunset photography is particularly appealing but I...
I finally got you. You were much trickier than the curious Robins of the last few days. Either my reactions are getting quicker with practice, or you were milliseconds more generous with your perching time than usual. This wasn't a JPG straight from camera though. That experiment continues but this image still...
Another walk through the woods and another Robin photoshoot. I really did try to use just the JPGs straight from camera, but they looked a little under exposed and somewhat noisy under closer inspection. I can do better to fix the under exposure whilst taking the shot, but I thought I would see how the JPGs compared...
I'm starting to experiment with straight out of camera JPG's from my EM1 III. Less time in front of the screen editing images is starting to feel more and more appealing. And if I can get away without a subscription to Adobe's Creative Cloud suite, then even better. Above is another Robin to add to the recent...
I've never attempted any bird or wildlife photography until now (well, there was the squirrel I spotted in December), and I don't know why I didn't attempt it sooner. It seems perfectly aligned with my other favourite subjects, Aurora, Lightning, Storms, Noctilucents, in that it's technically challenging,...
