New Captioning Website!

Stop! Newsflash! The Exposing The Wild Captioning System website is up and running, complete with fancy slideshows like the one below!

www.exposingthewild.com/captioning/index.html

The Captioning System has also had a revamp, and the new final draft is more comprehensive and unambiguous than ever. If anyone has any comments on the system, it would be great to hear them.

If any photographers out there would like to use the system, please do. The more the merrier! If you could just link to the website, that would be great.

My website (www.moonlightimaging.com) has also been updated and takes into account the new changes.

Unfortunately, I will be unable to update my older blog posts, I am simply too busy and have spent too many hours in front of the computer in the last few days finalising the website, as my bloodshot eyes can testify.

Anyway, that is it! The system is out there! Lets see how far we can take it.

The Miracle Train

You find me, dear reader, hurtling across the English countryside by rail somewhere between Darlington and York. Due to franchise changes, the train in question is no longer a Virgin Train, but it is, of course, still late.

In fact, if the vast majority of dates on my e-ticket are to be believed, the train is currently running 2009 years, 4 months, 30 days, 11 hours, and 41 minutes late. Yes, that is correct, my ticket states, in very large letters, that the train was due to leave Berwick-Upon-Tweed, arrive at Birmingham, and call at a fair few stations in-between, all in the second Jesus was born. Now that is what I call a miracle.

Luckily, squeezed into a corner of the ticket are enough correct dates to persuade the replacement cabin crew that to boards at each and every station that everything is in order and allow me to proceed on my journey unhindered, at least until the next stop.

Anyway, this is not a travel blog. Yet. I am here to announce that I have updated my latest images gallery. Some of the new images are from the British Wildlife Centre, others from the Exposing The Wild Scottish Project. Enjoy!

Little critters

It has taken a while, but I have finally got there.

Since uploading my website my "other wildlife" (i.e. neither mammals nor birds) web page has been incomplete and displaying the dreaded label "coming soon" in the place of images.

Now I have a full compliment of 15 images courtesy of these two little chappies; a Grove Snail from last summer in Pembrokeshire, and an Orange Underwing Moth from last week on the top of Herefordshire Beacon. This is not to say that I will not be changing images around as my library grows, but at least the "coming soon" message will be a thing of the past.

Finally, for those of you still awaiting my promised Golden Eagle images, I am afraid you will have to wait a little longer! I have just not had time today and am visiting family up north at the weekend. Sorry!

Joining the online world

Hello everyone, just a quick post to let you know that my website is up and running!

It is entirely designed and built by myself so I hope you like it. It is not quite finalised yet; I will be making a few minor changes over the coming weeks but overall I am very happy with the main design. It may be down for short periods during this time while I perfect it.

Please feel free to take a look: www.moonlightimaging.co.uk

Although almost all of my time over the last week or two has been spent getting my website up and running, I have still managed to take a few photos.

This particular shot of two Goosander (honest!) silhouetted against snow clouds was taken about five minutes walk from where I was designing my website in Nottingham University's Biological Photography Department. It is proof that, given the right conditions, an interesting photograph can be taken anywhere and that taking breaks even in busy periods can be productive.

The same is true of the Grey Heron Below.
