I'm working on a project which is quite different from my normal subjects.
I suspect that I was being watched whilst doing my people watching at the Central Market escalators!

Some from my couple of days away coming up over the next few days. Felt nice to be out shooting for a change!
My three friends I was with aren't photographers, so I had to grab a couple of minutes when I could.

I think it's patience and perseverance.
Thanks @kgphotos
As Alex said, but I would add "luck" and the benefit of having a circle of like-minded photography friends who are well connected to a larger network of wildlife photographers...if there's an owl, or other wildlife, of interest to photograph within a 4 hour drive from home, we know about it and hit the road.
So I guess I would add "a wonderfully supportive wife" who doesn't object to my odd and long hours away from home.
Thank you both...much appreciated.

I think the main thing you have in bucket loads compared to me is patience. You must spend hours waiting to hit the shutter! I'd have got cold and headed for a cup of tea!

Ok, where’s the color version?
The famous sycamore gap.
Just used that edit as my lock screen. Looking good I think.

OK, Explain the picture of the iphone as that is the best quality image you have posted!
I was thinking it looked very professional!
I've definitely got a lot more patience now that I'm retired. It's made a huge difference in terms of lifestyle and my approach to photography. We all know it's something you don't want to rush and now I actually feel like I can take the time I want to put into it.
The other thing that definitely helps at this time of year is really good cold weather clothing. It's taken a couple years, some expense and painful lessons but I think I've got it together now.
Funny you say that. I was out this week in thermals, waterproofs and I wasn't cold at all. In contrast my friend turned up in jeans and trainers and really suffered! Especially as we walked across muddy fields.I've definitely got a lot more patience now that I'm retired. It's made a huge difference in terms of lifestyle and my approach to photography.

As they say in Scotland... there is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing...
Something simple. For years I just didnt wear hats. Since I started wearing a warm hat when out, such a simple change, but the difference it makes to not making your day a nightmare is amazing.
Oh yes. Decent hat and gloves are a must. My gloves are fingerless with a mitten part to cover your fingers and thumbs when needed. Great for photography.

The previous ones were interesting with the number of tracks, but as a picture I like this one best with the bold focal point. Great pic!
Brrr. This is wonderful, but I'm glad I wasn't there!!!

I have a vague memory of a picture of yours ages ago, b&w, taken down a lane line this with a tree on the right(?) and a building on the bend with light reflecting of the puddles. Is it the same place?
Good excuse for a party!
The light and shadows in this are fantastic, great angle too.
This is stunning as usual but i think your mono work is so much better, not saying this is rubbish - it isnt, its amazing, but mono is better- for me.

Is this shot from inside or out? I mean were you trying to looking in or trying to get out?

The first one in mono was exceptional, the second one in colour not so much but still good, this one, i'm not sure about, the train/tram seems to take up too much of the picture and the scale doest seem right, i know it is but it doesnt quite look right for me, i much prefer the ones without thew train/tram, the lines were excellent.
Another stunner, i love the way the everything falls away into the background, was it misty or did you do this some other way? It reminds me of an old 1940's type camera shot. Really like this, well done.
My Duncan. Had is 11th birthday.
He looks cute but I dare you to try to get the toy off him, if he's anything like my old cat you would have no fingers left and only half a wrist. It's his and he's keeping it!!!
My son has some of those and the tag when we bought them called them “glomitts.”
Not the type with a cord through the sleeves though!

I can't recall that shot, but I'll have a search. But no, first time I'd been there. On a walk near Wooton Bassett where we stayed for a couple of days. Me and some old friends. Lots of tea rooms were visited!The previous ones were interesting with the number of tracks, but as a picture I like this one best with the bold focal point. Great pic!
