Ok, it’s only a pesky grey squirrel, but I think the lighting in this is quite special. Minsmere, Suffolk

I was photographing Coypu on the lake this afternoon, when this Roe Buck crept up behind me..........not sure which one of us was most surprised!

It's probably a violet winged carpenter bee. It is also massive. I noticed flower stems being bent and petals being broken. This bee is about as macho (although it's a female) as a flying insect can be. Other bees, wasps and flies seemed to be a bit nervous of it.



I'm a wee bit colour blind but my wife, who wasn't taken by the insect, said that its body as well as wings were violet in certain light.

Great shots. Where was it?

Wow!

[Derek Smith]

Excellent.

I changed my camera system from 10 year old Nikon to Sony for this trip. Newer focussing technology is brilliant. It can't fix lousy composition but I did get sharper (not perfect but better) pictures.

You've not seen the polar bears in Richmond Park then?

This was in Svalbard - I've just written a blog about my trip there, with some more photos if anyone's interested.

@the local golf club, Mr Fox seems very human centric.

I bet.

It's the light that makes it - not sure how much was planning, how much just right-place / right-time, and how much is post-processing, but it's just right.

Foggy morning and a deliberate decision to be in the park early on. I'm no wildlife photographer! Landscape is my thing. But this guy wandered close enough and stood still while I changed to the long lens

Post processing was IIRC limited to selective dodging on him to reduce the blacks/enhance whites, and a denoise/upsize in Lightroom.
