Bat photography is quite specialized. After all they are small and fast with an erratic flight, oh and they come out in the dark. It is important to note that you cannot photograph bats near a roost using flash. The bats in this video fly through our gardens nightly for a brief amount of time. The roost is located in a different part of the village. To photograph at or near a roost see the guidelines provided on the Natural England website. After discovering I had some pipistrelles flying over my back garden I thought it would be fun to see if I could get an image using my camera, flash, cable release and tripod. This is how I got on.
Man Vs Badger (this one almost broke me!)
This video took so much work with a subject that over the years has never caused me a problem. This time for what ever reason I just could not get the badgers to come out of the sett before dark, at least not where I expected them too. I did get there in the end…sort of!

How I Remove Noise from High ISO Images
Ten years ago it was a real struggle to produce images with anything over about ISO 1600. Today I am more than happy to push my Sony all the way up to 12800+ ISO if the situation requires it. This is the software that helps me produce quality images from high ISo Raw files.
