Glacier Point, Yosemite National Park - taken just after sunrise. Crystal clear skies, no wind and a temperature of around 0°c. Being out of season there was less than a handful of people at the top, so we pretty much had it to ourselves. The landscape from the viewpoint is so vast it's hard to take it all in, so I will definitely need to visit again. #yosemitevalley #halfdome #roadtrip #hasselblad #epicview #x1d #45mm
H Series 120mm Macro II on the Hassleblad X1D using the X/H adapter. Suddenly it was no longer a lightweight and compact setup. Despite this and the absence of autofocus, photographing Pippin the cat at 1/60 s handheld in natural light was no problem. #hasselblad #hasselbladx1d #macro #cats #eyes #camerasetup #mediumformatdigital #gobig
Let's face it, a good camera phone is all you need! #yosemite #autumn #tranquility #wonderlust
A curious New Forest Pony taken in late afternoon light. Many of the ponies are shy but sometimes you come across some that are the complete opposite - this one nibbled the lens hood on my camera.
Day 1 of #blackandwhitechallenge 7 photos. 7 days. No humans. No explanation. I nominate @liam_a_marsh to do the challenge.
Found this this little jumping spider amongst the grass at Arne, Dorset. It seemed to like posing on the end of my finger, so I was able to take a picture with my other hand. The perfect blue sky that day made an ideal backdrop. Taken handheld using a Canon 5dsr with a 100mm macro. #rspbarne #spiders #marco #canon #dorset

Strangler figs are a common site throughout southern Florida but this one was pretty impressive. It was a prime example of how they take over a host tree and eventually consume it. #trees #florida #flora #everglades #strangle #survival #bigcypress #bigcypressbend
Morning stretch for this pony at Stanpit Marsh. #horsesandponies #dorset #morningmotivation #sunrise #getup #stretch #riseandshine
Check out this amazing spider crab dressed in the finest seaweed. It was only a small one and would fit in the palm of your hand. I came across this one in a rock pool in Kimmeridge Bay, Dorset. Once again, photographed using my field studio. #kimmeragebay #kimmeridge #dorsetwildlifetrust #dorset #rockpools #marinelife #spidercrab #headdress #camoflague #camo #studio #quadrahybrid #elinchromquadra #visitdorset

You can't beat somewhere on your own doorstep. Despite the winds that chilled the core, the last moments of sun light made the walk totally worth it. View looking along Knoll Beach. #swcoastpath #dorset #nationaltrust #beachlife #beachwalks #sunset #dunes
Most of the usual nesting sites for these osprey had been destroyed by hurricane Irma as it passed over the southern tip of Florida. It was great to see them rebuilding their nests and continuing as normal. I will look forward to returning in the new year to see how they've been getting on. #nps #nationalpark #explore #canon5dsr #canon #wildlifephotography #nest #building #osprey #florida #camerasetups #500mmlens #nature #lenscoat #wildlifephoto #wanttogoback #everglades #wildflorida Credit to @jamesmedia for the profile pic👍

The coolest creature I have seen so far is the Florida soft shell turtle. Sadly not where it should be, so myself and @jamesmedia made sure it got to the other side and lived to see another day. #florida #floridawildlife #turtle #turtles #amazingnature #awesomewildlife #saved #roadside #amazing #lovenature
The biggest toad I have ever seen was just sat on the road out of the Everglades. I managed to slow down just in time. The road was awash with wildlife, which were attracted by the warmth of the tarmac just as it was getting dark. #florida #everglades #road #slowdown #toad #wildlife #nightlife #nighttime #natureisawesome
Throughout my travels in Florida, I often come across wildlife crossing the road or just basking at the side. I helped this turtle on it's way to prevent it from being crushed by oncoming traffic. #everglades #wildlife #florida #preventroadkill #saved #toliveanotherday #slowdown #turtle #nationalpark
I took this image several years ago when was living in Cornwall. There were highland cattle grazing the clifftop just above Mullion Cove. To get the shot I had to lay on the grass two feet in front with a 24mm lens. Too close for comfort but worth it. #cornwall #bluesky #highlandcattle #highlandcow #horns #24prime #24mm #hairy #picturesque #cornwalllife #pointy #cornishlife
