Departing for Iceland Winter Arctic Fox Expedition 2024

Posted in UncategorizedLeave a comment

Please note that I will be offline for the next eight days (from tomorrow) while guiding my annual expedition to the far north of Iceland to photograph Arctic Fox in Winter. The expedition to the Hornstraidir Nature Reserve to photograph Arctic Fox is near and dear to my heart, and this year, it looks like we will have some fantastic snow conditions. I am really excited to get back up to this remote part of Iceland to find and photograph this tenacious predator. The area we are located for this expedition is quite far from the nearest town, without cell or internet coverage. If you are trying to contact me during this time, please be patient and I will get back to you on my return.

If you are interested in photographing the Arctic Fox, I now have dates available for the 2025 expedition, which will run from the 8th of February until the 14th of February 2025. The trip is eight days / seven nights and is fully inclusive of accommodation, food and transfers to and from Isfjordur to our remote cabin. On this trip, you can expect to have a great many fantastic photographic encounters with the Arctic Foxes that inhabit this remote peninsula. Full details are available on my website HERE. You can also check out the Adobe Spark Presentation. See you in Iceland.

WNPP Episode #91 I.T Infrastructure and Back Up Strategy

Posted in Uncategorized1 Comment

I have just published episode #91 of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this episode, I discuss the IT infrastructure and the backup strategies I employ in my photography. Increasingly, I am asked to help specify IT hardware and advise on hardware and backup for other photographers. Much depends on your individual needs and budget, but this episode should help shed some light on my thoughts and processes regarding this complex issue.

Photograph of the Month February 2024 – Regal Cat

Posted in UncategorizedLeave a comment

The photograph of the month for February 2024 comes from my recent expedition to the Steppe region of Mongolia (Read the Trip Report) to find and photograph the enigmatic Pallas Cat. Taken right at sunset, the stance and demeanour of this Pallas Cat (Manul) ‘make’ the photograph. Composed with the cat to the right-hand side of the frame and looking into the image to minimise the negative space, the soft evening light that paints the snow is the icing on the cake for what is one of my favourite images of this wonderful cat.
