Hayfield landscapes

Ramsley Reservoir in August

I've decided to repurpose this website slightly, and talk a bit about equipment and techniques used for the photographs.

I'd been getting out and about more following a bout of illness - this mainly meant going looking for wildlife to photograph. However, I thought it was about time I put some up here - these are from August 2014.

My earliest interest in wildlife (assuming dinosaurs don't count!) was in lizards, so I was pleased to see this Common Lizard sitting on a dry stone wall beside the road. It is our commonest lizard, and found throughout the UK. However, the Peak District is something of a local stronghold for this lovely little lizard.

Shot with a (rather old, but good) Minolta 80-200 f2.8 APO lens at f8.

Photo galleries

This part of the site is where you can view a selection of wildlife and landscape galleries.

Clicking on any small image in the galleries should show a slideshow of all the pictures in the gallery, starting at the picture that you clicked. (The galleries will usually display best if you maximise your browser to full screen.) 

You can see the Mammals gallery, the Wild flowers gallery or the Hayfield landscapes gallery

Other galleries are the Birds gallery and the Insects gallery

I have recently added a Galapagos gallery.
