Summer sunset photographed a few weeks ago. Photographed with a Sony RX100 compact camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2 software.

A test shot taken with my new Samyang 8mm full-frame "fisheye" lens. This lens produces a 180 degree (measured diagonally) field-of-view on a APS-C camera. This is a manual-focus lens (with non-Nikon cameras the exposure settings are also manual). For this shot the best available viewpoint meant that the sun was almost in the centre of the viewfinder but there is very little "flare", considering the conditions. Most Samyang lenses are manual-focus, hence the much lower prices, but they are extremely sharp, well constructed and much cheaper than the Nikon or Canon equivalents. Samyang lenses are also branded as Falcon, Rokinon, Walimex, Bower, Opteka, Bell and Howell, Polar, and Pro-Optic but they are all made by Samyang in South Korea. Camera: Nikon D300s + Samyang 8mm full-frame fisheye lens. Processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

Photographed at 6 a.m. this morning using a Sony RX100 compact camera. Ten minutes later the sun had fully risen and the sky had turned into a mixture of grey and white. Unprocessed apart from a slight crop. According to the old "shepherd's wisdom", a red sky in the morning means bad weather is on the way.

A group of Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) flying home at the end of the day before an approaching storm. Photographed near Lake Burwain at Foulridge in Pendle district, North-West England. The camera used was a Nikon D300s fitted with a Nikkor AF-S VR 70-200MM F2.8 IF ED II telephoto lens and the processing was done with Nikon Capture NX2.

Photographed in Brierfield in the North-West of England using a Nikon D90 camera and a AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II lens.
