These brightly coloured insects are simply know as "red bugs" or "cotton stainers". I photographed them back in 2010 as I passed them on a boardwalk. They seemed to rely on safety in numbers and would scatter if disturbed, before slowly congregating again. #insects #red #macrophotography #macro #travelphotography #floridawildlife #florida #canon📷 #colour #amazingnature #natgeoyourshot #naturesbest
I felt lucky enough to see grizzly bears in the wild let alone photograph them, especially with cubs. #cubs #grizzlybear #grandteton #naturephotography #bears #bearsofinstagram #cute #travel #travelwild #americanwest #travelamerica #roadtrip #supercute #wildlifeonearth #grandtetonnationalpark #naturesbest #nationalgeographic

I have been documenting the life cycle of a frog on and off for a few years. Every year you get small window of opportunity to document a stage or a few stages of the cycle. If you miss it, you have to wait another year until that particular stage comes around again. #frogs #frogsofinstagram #life #studiophotography #amphibians #newlife #wildlifephotography #spring #lifecycle #macrophotography #pondlife #fieldstudio #elinchrom #canon #amazingnature #britishwildlife #natureswonder #springhassprung
Slow-worms always make interesting shapes. By diffusing the light you can emphasise the contours of their smooth scaled bodies. #dorset #heathland #dorsetheathland #reptiles #hasselblad #hasselbladx1d #xcd90 #x1d50c #naturephotography

Last September I was commissioned to photograph a panorama to be used as the main feature in a brand new kitchen. The image was to be set behind a glass splash back that ran behind the entire kitchen unit. The desired landscape was pretty much a 180° view from Old Harry rocks to Hengistbury Head. It consisited of 11 stitched images and was printed seven meters in length. #panorama  #landscapephotography #landscape #kitchensplashback #kitchendesign #kitchen #whitekitchen #creoglass #creoglassdesign  #oldharryrocks #southcoast #hengistburyhead #bournemouth #epickitchen #instakitchen #interiordesign #interiorstyle #kitchenlife #homeinsporation #glasssplashback #splashbacks #dorsetcoast #greatbritishcoast #dorset
A sea otter doing what they do best. Most of the time this otter would surface with mussels but on this occasion it found a crab - which made for a more pleasing photo. #california #ottersofinstagram #otter #crablegs #seaotter #cuteanimals #chillin #nomnom #animalsofinstagram #naturesbest #wildlifeperfection #wildlifetravel #wildlifephotography #pacificocean #breakfast
The reddish egret is one of my favourite birds to photograph in Florida. They are very elegant in how they hunt for food. They use their wings like a parasol to shade the water in order to see through the surface reflection. To get the picture I had to lie in shallow water at the side of a lagoon. It smelt pretty bad but it was worth it! - - #birds_of_instagram #natgeoyourshot #wildlifeperfection #bestbirdshots #canonfavpic #best_birds_of_ig #feather_perfection #your_best_birds #birdsofinstagram #canon #naturesbest #reddishegret #floridawildlife #wanderlust #wildlifetravel #audubon #audubonsociety
Whilst living in Worcestershire, seeing roe deer was a fairly common sight. I used to spend many evenings looking for them. This one in particular was a frequent visitor in our garden. She even had a couple of fawn that would follow closely. #deer #summer #localarea #barntgreen #worcestershire #wildlife #canon📷 #500mm #fields

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
