More Bees and Bumbles
I am still trying out different things with the Lumix G9II. One being to see how steady I can get the image when trying to focus on a very small subject, using my big birding lens.

Through the window
I recently did a bird photography presentation at the Thames Camera Club, and one of the things I shared with the club was the fact that you don’t have to go far to find birds to photograph. In fact you don’t even have to leave your house! In the last week I have been unable

Loving the Spring Weather
I have been doing a bit of traveling around with a fellow photog in the last week, and we found ourselves using our cameras in all sorts of different places. One place we stopped at was full of Spring flowers and while there were some birds about, it was the blossoms and the bees that

Still at Kereta, Coromandel
Still at Kereta, Coromadel and the B&B has a couple of other guests staying as well. We spent last night teaching two French Engineers how to play Skip-Bo and drinking wine. This morning after a bit of a sleep in, I crept outside with my camera to see if the kingfishers were playing, and indeed

Bees!
This last weekend I spent in Nelson at the PSNZ Southern Regional Convention. It was a full on weekend with many speakers and fieldtrips. The organisers of the event really did the Society proud with a full programme, great food and a lot of fun times. There were three trades at the event this year, Sony, Nikon and
