A heron purched on a tree which fills most of the frame

Had a great Boxing Day walk down Nidd Gorge today and managed to finally see the otters and a bonus heron
I needed a snoot modifier for one of my Neewer flashes, so I designed and 3D printed one.
This is why I love the convenience of having a cheap 3D printer.

Shot a pheasant this morning...
With a camera, not a shotgun I must add.

An incredibly lucky capture of the Northern Lights in England and a meteor from the Perseids Meteor Shower in the same photo.
Taken just outside of Harrogate, North Yorkshire

It's such a fun event. There are loads of photos on their website: www.bedrace.co.uk

Finally printing some recent photography!

This image shows a partial solar eclipse, where the Moon partially covers the Sun, creating a crescent-like appearance. The dark area is the Moon moving in front of the Sun, with the rest of the solar disk still visible.
My attempt at shooting the partial solar eclipse through the clouds earlier today in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

A breathtaking sunset paints the sky in fiery hues, as silhouetted trees stand in quiet contrast against the glowing sun.
Incredible sunset over North Yorkshire this evening!

I threw together a quick post looking back at my astrophotography that I did in 2024.
2024 will go down as one of the best years for astro IMO.

We switched our primary build system from Webpack to a mix of Vite and simple node.js scripts and our build time is pretty much 10x faster!
Vite has definitely been my favourite new development tool this year.
I'm hoping there will be some shock off-season F1 drama where Sainz ends up getting a seat at Mercedes or Red Bull.
Google Calendar in dark mode is 🤌
YouTube's playback speed controls should go up to 3x
@bell.bz check your DM - just something about the link :)
Is this another screen size/ratio we need to browser test now?
Dead and weathered tree standing prominently against a wooded backdrop. The lighting and colour tones add depth and character to the scene, creating a natural yet dramatic atmosphere.
Black-and-white image of a leafless tree with dramatic branches reaching into the sky, set in a hilly landscape with scattered trees in the background.
This tree at Studley in North Yorkshire is so cool but I cannot for the life of me find a composition of it that works.

Black-and-white photograph of a glacier landscape, with rugged mountains and jagged ice formations. The composition highlights the contrast between the dark rock formations and the bright, textured snow and ice. The perspective offers a sense of depth and scale, showcasing the vastness of the frozen terrain.
I've been thinking a lot about Iceland recently. It's such a beautiful country and I've got so much more of it to explore and photograph. I need to get back soon!

Like many of you we've dreamed of visiting this planespotters paradise, as well as the fabled Mach Loop in Wales. UK-based photographer Andrew Hawkes recently visited the former and has written up an excellent series of tips for what to do when we finally get to either of these spots. | 🛩️ ⚔️ 📍 🇬🇧 🏴
This image shows a beautiful scene of the Northern Lights over a train viaduct in Knaresborough, a picturesque town known for its historic architecture and scenic beauty. The aurora lights in shades of green and purple blend with the night sky, creating a stunning contrast with the warmly lit viaduct and surrounding landscape. The viaduct's reflection in the river adds to the beauty of the photograph.
This image shows a stunning view of the northern lights (aurora borealis) in a dark, open field. The vibrant colors of the aurora, including shades of green, pink, and red, illuminate the sky in vertical streaks. A solitary tree stands silhouetted on a hill against the glowing backdrop, and faint stars are visible in the night sky, adding to the serene and captivating atmosphere of the scene.
Image of a comet against a starry sky.
Some highlights from my photography in October.
We were treated to yet another bonkers display of the Northern Lights visible from North Yorkshire.
I didn't get the shot I was hoping for of Comet C/2023 A3 - Tsuchinshan-ATLAS but it was great to capture a comet again!

Yeah - let's hope this place takes off!
I posted a blog post for the first time in a long time!

Here's an autumnal photo for some peace from that other social media platform full of hate and rage.
