I’ve updated a few of the gallerys including some pictures from a recent trip to Gigrin Farm (Red Kite feeding center).

Took a trip to Gigrin Farm in Wales the other day, the farm is a feeding station and rehabilitation centre for Red Kites. Feeding time is quite a sight, the sky was full of Kites hovering, waiting for the farmer to put out the meat. As soon as it hits the ground the Kites start diving, the whole event lasts about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Last year I visited the Santago Rare Leopard Project, home to Harry, Sade and Tara. Not long ago I received the sad news that the project would be closing, so I decided to take one last trip to visit the gang.

I took yet another trip down to the WHF last weekend, this time I was meeting a few people from Talk Photography.

As you can see Viktoria the Puma is still jumping over her pond for the cameras.

I took another trip down to the WHF the other other day. It was great to see the cubs again, they have grown so much in the past two months!

The Amur Leopard cubs, Anuy and Argun, are about four and a half months old now and are a real handful for mum Xizi

Took a trip down to Weston-Super-Mare, decided to try out a long exposure using my 10x ND filter. The exposure was 35 seconds using a 10x ND Filter.
Would like to get out and use this filter a little more.

This is one of the last warehouses in Gloucester docks which hasn’t been refurbished. This photo is made up of three difference exposures, processed in Photomatix Pro and Photoshop.

Happy New Year! A few days ago I took a trip down to the rather cold WHF (Wildlife Heritage Foundation). They’ve recently had some arrivals in the form of Tiger and Leopard cubs.

These two little guys are Asu and Bawa, they are 4 month old Sumatran Tigers. Obviously mum (Puna) is very protective of them, so we had to be ready to jump back from the fence if she decided to run at us.

I took this one back in July on a trip to Scotland. It wasn’t a photo which immediately jumped out at me. The sky was over exposed and I didn’t think it could be rescued, however (probably due to the fact I shoot in Raw format) with a ‘little’ bit of Photoshop work I managed to produce this.
