A while back I was tidying up my terrace. I can’t remember exactly what made me start; I imagine it was a nice, sunny day (one of the few so far this summer) and I must have decided to spend more time outside, perhaps reading a book (rather than watching a movie) this year.  Anyway, my projects have a slight tendency (!) to get interrupted because I stumble across something more interesting, another project, while I’m working on them. After maybe 15 minutes I had more or less stopped work and was instead considering if I should do something fun with my old Juwel Rio 125 liter aquarium that was currently being used for, well nothing really, it was just standing in a corner on my porch, filled with random garbage.

BBC har lagt ut sin artikkelserie om “wildlife” fotografi i PDF format på nettet. Det er en veldig god serie der de tar for seg teknikk, tips og triks for å fotografere mange forskjellige saker i naturen.

Akkurat nå er nettstedet litt opptatt, men regner med at det blir bedre i løpet av en dag eller to:
