The wildlife on a Barbados trip is usually pretty predictable: lizards, turtles, monkeys, flying fish, various small birds and fish. This year had already improved on the norm with a couple of hummingbird sightings, but that was before our catamaran trip last Wednesday.
We’d already seen some sign of whales, which are very unusual off the western, Caribbean, coast, earlier in the day, but on the return trip they put on a real show for us. I managed to get this shot of one of them breaching right out of the water. Not bad for a grab shot with my camera still in its waterproof housing and on its underwater settings, if I do say so myself…

With Britain well and truly in the grip of Winter (where’s that global warming, then?), and more snow on the way, I thought this might cheer people up a bit! Continue reading →

I’ve been playing around with the previous image a bit more, and I’ve come up with this version – taken from a single original RAW file, but processed twice as a sort of “pseudo HDR” to knock back the highlights Continue reading →

Although I love tropical gardens, photographing them can be a challenge: there’s often so much greenery that isolating a subject becomes a real challenge, and since most are closed during the “golden hours”, you can be battling quite harsh light Continue reading →
