Manx shearwaters, common dolphins and sunfish on Marine Discovery Penzance boat trip

auk, bird, Cornwall, fish, gull, mammalBy Neil-UKWildlifeJuly 20, 2017Leave a comment

Day 3 of my holiday (4/7/17) and I had booked a trip with Marine Discovery Penzance for the afternoon, but the weather was grey a drizzly. I tested my camera gear (and my technique with the new set up!) on a house sparrow. I was on the Marine DIscovery boat soon after I arrived in…

Rainy day at Penearth Farm

The second day of my holiday was a bit damp and a trip to Seaton beach (the one in Cornwall) was a disappointment – grey shingle with a nice river, sadly covered in double figures of dogs ensuring there was no bird life to be seen! The cliffs behind the sea wall look interesting botanically…

As you may have gathered from my last post I have traded in most my Pentax gear and switched to Olympus, giving me superior effective focal length and much better auto focus. I had a trip to Rainham Marshes today with my 1 year old in the buggy, so no serious waiting around, but still…

Ode to my Pentax DA*300mm – goodbye old friend

UncategorizedBy Neil-UKWildlifeJune 27, 2017Leave a comment

So yesterday I said goodbye to an old friend, my Pentax DA*300mm F4 lens. It has been sent off for repair and will be sold on to another owner, which I have to admit makes me a little sad. I I have many great memories and favourite photos taken with that lens. And don’t worry…
