2011 was, as always, very busy, with major trips to south west Florida, Ireland, Devon and a first, but certainly not last trip to Shetland, where I not only photographed the wonderful seabird colonies, but also, flowers, seals and landscapes.
Increasingly, much of my recent work has concentrated on photographing environmental issues, such as the effects of global warming, or the effect that alien, introduced species such as New Zealand Swamp Weed or Japanese Knotweed are having on our native vegetation. I hope to extend this work next year with photography of introduced animals such as beavers, wild boar and parakeets.
A very exciting new workshop in 2011 was photographing tropical butterflies in the glasshouse at the RHS garden at Wisley. This was a unique opportunity to see the butterflies before the general public are allowed in! We are planning two more in 2012, along with a series of other workshops at the garden. See the workshop page for details and dates.
I am currently working on an exciting book project, which I have wanted to do for a long time, looking at all aspects of Digital Plant Photography, including high speed and time lapse, focus stacking and panoramic imaging as well as photographing plants in a range of habitats. The work will require travelling to various foreign locations to get different habitat shots.
