My lifelong interest in nature photography changed from admirer to photographer in May 2023 when I discovered mirrorless digital cameras. Using unlimited digital captures, image stabilisation, and sophisticated auto-focus tracking, there is now no limit to what can be achieved.

The UK contains a lot of wonderful countryside but is also home to many millions of people. This causes our countryside to be heavily used, and sometimes to be heavily misused. By following the guidance found in both the UK Countryside Code and the US "Leave no trace" movement, you will help preserve our environment for future generations.
After a very dry but not very sunny spring in North Yorkshire, and several weeks of a dry and dusty summer, it is not surprising that the local wildlife has not been feeling particularly energetic of late. However a couple of days of thundery downpours has certainly changed that for the better.
For my first two years as a photographer I had my hands full simply learning to keep the subject in frame, in focus, and if extremely lucky in a good range of colour. With all that in mind it was an simple decision to ignore the issue of "digital development" and shoot in jpeg.
Late May is the anniversary of my take up of digital photography after I discovered the existence of digital mirrorless cameras in May 2023.
