I love wildlife, macro & sport photography and supporting Ipswich Town FC. Constantly learning and enjoying OM System cameras and lenses
I always like to see the Grey Heron on our rivers in Ireland. Gives me a good indication of the health of the entire river ecosystem. #irishwildlife #wildlifephotography

Posting this macro shot of blade of grass with ice crystals. I see the haloing, noise & other issues that make this a mehhh shot. I will revisit next winter to see have I improved. Still fun tho! #macro learning. #macrophotography

Big decision made. All my canon gear boxed up for shipping as we part ways after 20 yrs. As I move away from sports into #macro and #wildlife photography it's time for a change. @omsystem.bsky.social incoming. Time to shoot for myself.

So after many years of shooting sports photography I have finally found my way to #macrophotography thanks to inspiring @micaelwidell.bsky.social whom I stumbled across on youtube. After watching his videos I decided to jump in and try #macro This is my first ever #photostack Canon 1DX/100mm Macro.
