Photography tuition in Essex: Insects and wildflowers

Essex, hymenoptera, insectBy Neil-UKWildlifeApril 20, 2014Leave a comment

As some of you are aware, I recently started running photography tuition sessions at Norsey Woods, Billericay and Wat Tyler Country Park, Pitsea. The first was the photographing wildflowers and insects at Norsey Woods yesterday. The site is the densest bluebell wood in the country and photographing these a large part of the morning and…

I’ve been playing with white backgrounds with my pond creature photography and I’m getting some OK results so far. Here is a Wasp (great) Diving Beetle.

Water louse

crustacean, Essex, Freshwater invertebrates, Isopod, wat tyler cp, water louseBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 22, 2013Leave a comment

The water louse is a common species found in many still and slow flowing aquatic habitats (including polluted ones), but it is not photographed very often, even when compared to other pond creatures. This is probably due to their habit of diving for cover or the corner of the photographic aquarium. Last winter I tried…

Last week was my first attempt at some aquatic invertebrate photograph for a while, but I got some nice shots. This diving beetle larvae ended up posing well. Got a few close ups too

Rainham marshes Ducks and snipe video

bird, Essex, RSPB Rainham, video, wader, waterfowlBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 16, 2013Leave a comment

It was miserable weather yesterday when I visited Rainham Marshes yesterday and the main reason for my visit was to pick up a signed copy of ‘Dragonflight’ by Marianne Taylor (with whom I had a nice chat about dragonflies and the fun involved in photographing them!). Look out for a review once I read it!…

Large red damselfly nymphs

Essex, Freshwater invertebrates, insect, odonata, wat tyler cpBy Neil-UKWildlifeDecember 15, 2013Leave a comment

Last week I got out the photographic aquarium after a long break from photographing any freshwater creatures, and I got some nice photos of some large red damselfly nymphs. They are quite well developed, which isn’t surprising as this species is the first to emerge in the UK, some years starting in April or even…
