Busy work has meant no chance to shoot new images, and now I’m back to the lovely British grey! Looking through what I managed to capture last year and trying to make plans for this year.. I’m open to suggestions and curious to know what’s on your list for the year? For now enjoy this image of moose lake, which frustratingly had no moose 😂 but it was one of the most serene places I’ve ever visited. Absolutely no noise, just peace, tranquility and a great spot to be left with your thoughts. #landscapephotography #lake #mooselake #canada #nature #reflection_perfection #tranquility #peace #calm #plans #canonphotography #canon90d #appicoftheweek #nature_brilliance #nature_perfection #landscape_perfection #woodland_and_water (at Moose Lake Loop, Maligne Lake, Jasper NP) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDNdXnqW6S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Exploring off the main road in Bella Coola, on the way to find some waterfalls I came across this spot to practice some long exposures. The fast flowing water mixed with the contrast of the bridge and forest made this one of my favourites. Plus whilst it’s so cold in the U.K. it’s nice to think about warmer times! #landscapephotography #longexposure #nature_brilliance #raw_landscape #canon #canonuk #canon90d #natgeoyourshot #canada #woodlands_and_water (at Bella Coola, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn15LkWqvWJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This was one of my personal highlights from visiting Canada last year 🇨🇦 A young mum with her first cubs in tow. Chatting to others it appears that being a new mum was difficult for her and she kept forgetting where he cubs were, got into a panic only to find them in the hedges next to her. This was one of the few glimpses I managed with her and both her cubs in one shot, they shortly disappeared around the corner to grab some salmon upstream, and she seemed to be doing a fairly good job from what I could see. #bear #grizzlybear #bearviewingbc #brownbear #cub #family #nature #wildlife #bbcearth #bbcpotd #natgeoyourshot #bbcwildlife #bbcwildlifemagazine #nature_brilliance #raw_wildlife #canon #canonuk #canon_wildlife #canon90d (at Bella Coola, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnhJXhHqDK6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A new laptop mean new possibilities! Like finally being able to stitch together those panoramas I took ages ago 😅 Here’s one from British Columbia, whilst I didn’t save the exact location, I know this was from @jaspernationalpark, swipe for the final view 👉🏻 #canada #mountains #pano #landscapephotography #gatesandscapes #moodygrams #moodysky #travel #cloudporn #raw_nature #canon #canon90d #natgeoyourshot #natgeotravel #nature_brilliance (at Jasper-Nationalpark) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZm5MRqhf5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Grey and rainy here in the U.K., so I’m taking the chance to edit some photo’s from last years trips. Images like this shot on the way to the beach in Tofino are definite inspiration to make plans for this year.

Thanks @chrishawesphotos for giving up a few hours on Boxing Day to share his local spot for photographing red squirrels, was a first for me and definitely something I’m looking to do more of next year. #redsquirrel #squirrel #squirrelsofinstagram #squirrellove #fluffy #nuts #animal #wildlife #nature #nature_brilliance #rspb_love_nature (at RSPB Loch Leven) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmwtxZoKIAk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Managed to spot this buzzard hiding in the tree before taking off, think I may have woken him up 😅 #buzzard #buzzardsofinstagram #birdofprey #hunter #rspb_love_nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephoto #canon #canon90d #nature_brilliance #feather_perfection #feathered_perfection (at West Berkshire, England, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmY1k8uKC4T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Annoyingly I couldn’t get any images of the wildlife in the frozen weather due to work 🙄 But I did manage to get out with the camera and the dog to capture some images of the hoar frost that had built up to create these amazing ice features #ice #frost #cold #frostymorning #frozen #nature #canon #canon90d #landscape #bokeh (at Upper Basildon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmRhzQ-qCbc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How can you not love a puffin when they look like this 😍 #puffin #puffinsofinstagram #animals #wildlifephotography #wildlifeinfocus #feather_perfection #featheredfriends #rspbskomer #rspblovenature #canon #canon90d (at Skomer Island, North Haven) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl59ds-qQqQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I realised that I’ve not actually shared this image yet 😅 A local red kite soaring around on a cloudy day keeping a close eye on me. #redkite #birdofprey #britishbirds #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #feather_perfection #nature_brilliance #canon #canon90d #naturelovers #your_best_birds (at West Berkshire, England, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clls6q6qfE_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

These autumnal sunsets have been gorgeous! Here’s a few I’ve captured recently.

This buzzard had been in a bit of a scrap, but lucky for me I wasn’t seen as a threat so I was able to get closer than I have previously to this bird of prey. They kept a close eye on me, but weren’t overtly bothered by the camera. Massively outnumbered by red kites, these buzzards are a treat to come across in the local countryside. #buzzard #commonbuzzard #birdofprey #predator #birds #featheredfriends #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #feathered_perfection #countrylife #countryfile #bbcautumnwatch (at West Berkshire, England, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkyOPnKq2iF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After a small operation on my hand I can’t shoot for a while but I can finally get around to editing a whole load of images that I’ve been putting off, like this puffin! There were soo many sitting in their burrows looking out, and they just seemed to have such a different expression here compared to when they were flying with a mouth full of sand eels. #puffins #atlanticpuffin #rspb_love_nature #skomerisland #moodygrams #agameoftones #naturegram #naturelovers #wildlife #wildlifeinfocus #lightroom #canon #canon90d (at Skomer Island, North Haven) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkqLTw_qTGK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My first time trying to photograph from a kayak! This was the day after landing in Victoria, jet lagged and bobbing around the sea I still managed to enjoy capturing some images of the harbour seals laying on the rocks looking very content with themselves. Thanks again to @mpbcom for getting me a great upgrade from my mk1 to mk2 100-400 for the trip 👍🏻 #seal #harbourseal #sealife #wildlife #nature #animals #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #oakbay #canon #canon90d #nature_brilliance #canada #canadianwildlife (at Oak Bay, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkYKLAaqtLC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve not yet made it back to Richmond park to see more deer but looking through the images I captured last year I think I need to make the trip again soon #deer #stag #reddeer #wildlifephotography #nature #nature_brilliance #your_britain #your_wildlife #britishdeer #raw_wildlife #bellow #canon #rut #britishwildlifehub #canon90d (at Richmond Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkBbopXKDqG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I love the expression on the bears face! This was a young mum looking down the river and debating grading some salmon for breakfast. #bear #grizzly #grizzlybear #brownbear #canada #wildlifephotography #naturelover #canonphotography #canon90d (at Bella Coola, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjh_4upqw8r/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have a love hate relationship with this image, it was the first time I got a clear shot of a Canadian grizzly, the one animal I was wanting to photograph. But technically I don’t like it, there’s noise, the focus isn’t pin sharp and the background is messy. However I think I’m being overly harsh in my own criticism, and when I zoom out and look at the image as a whole I do still like it.
