New Images of UK Nature









* New Nature Images *
(02/07/2011) The time since the last news item has been spent shooting and editing images and extending my subject base. Many more nature images, mostly from the UK, have been added to my collection. Fungi images from last Summer and Autumn and more flower and insect images from this Spring and Summer have been added with more to come. Apparently I can shoot faster than I can edit and annotate images, so there is still much to do! Also the last of the Cornwall images, taken last year, have finally been edited and added to my stock Cornwall selection. Images to look forward to later in the year will be from two trips, one to the Canary Islands and the other to Madagascar, where I am hoping to gain some new exciting flora and fauna images. The menus in the Nature section are constantly being updated at the moment, so if you are interested in nature images please drop by on a regular basis to see the updates.
New Images from South Africa

from South Africa . . . .
(04/12/2010) A major overhaul of the site has just taken place which makes the viewing (and hopefully purchasing) of images smoother. The four main sections (Nature, Travel, Pictorial and Lifestyle) have now been integrated into a framed format with a menu on the left hand side and a viewing area on the right hand side, thus keeping the opening of new pop-up windows to a minimum. This is particularly useful with the Nature section where images of each family or species are readily viewed. This has made the previous nature lists obsolete. These are still available for those that may prefer this method of viewing the images, however they will not be updated and for the complete inventory the menus should be used.
Fly Agaric, Amanita muscaria (18/09/2010) Much of this Summer has been spent photographing British nature and wildlife, particularly insects and flowers, and the number of species in my stock library has subsequently increased. Now that Autumn is with us more photographs of fungi will be added in the near future.
British Wildlife Photography Awards 2010 (28/06/2010) Four of my nature images of British butterflies (see Gallery 5) have been shortlisted in the British Wildlife Photography Awards 2010. The final award winners are to be announced in August. Following the results there will be a book published in September featuring all the award winning and shortlisted images and a national travelling exhibition. See the BWPA site for details.
More Flora Pictures added to Alamy (08/06/2010) Another 600+ flower and tree images have been added to Alamy over the last few months along with 90 images of Winchester, 30+ images of the "Head of River Race" on the river Thames and some new animal and insect images. The Nature Lists have also been updated to reflect the new additions. Coming up soon are pictures from Cornwall and the river Thames at Battersea and Chelsea taken last month.
