Photographs

Ian has a nice shiny toy, a Nikon D5500. He takes loads of photos, a few of which turn out to be quite reasonable.

All the links are to external sites and will open a new window

Non-commercial links. These are galleries hosted on the Nikon website.

Warning for users with a restricted data allowance

Many of the images on the Nikon site are 24 megapixels, sometimes larger. Viewing the thumbnails on the site will probably be OK, but a download could eat into your data allowance.

Some stitched together panoramas. VERY big files

The Italian authorities do not allow images of Pompeii, Herculaneum, or the Stabian Villas to be used commercially without a licence. These images may only be copied for personal use

Tiny Game Hunting

These are images of small animals, hunted and photographed while out and about.

The rules:

The animal is displayed as large as possible. Preferably taking up most of the image in full HD and not just being a dot in a larger image.
No studio work or posed subjects, everything must be in the wild. Although that could include a garden or similar area.
Camera is handheld, no tripod, no camera trap, no remote triggering.
Post production is limited to basic adjustments such as contrast, brightness, de-speckle.
NO super-telephoto lenses with huge magnifications. The idea is to get close to the animal.
