Summer is tough here, and it’s hard to get motivated. I’m mostly a nature photographer, and focus quite a bit on birds, but in summer they’re harder to find and often less colorful. But then recently I turned to smaller subjects and was very pleased when I started capturing hummingbirds in flight.
Hot weather, high contrast and early starts / late finishes aren't favoured by many photographers in the UK. However, a few years ago, I bought a used Fuji X-T20 that had been converted to shoot 720nM IR. I prefer monochrome IR to the false colour variety and, when the sun's high in the sky, IR comes into its own.
Awesome shots!!
Thank you very much
Right with you there Rick. Got the T-shirt !

Good to see bud. We’ll be back at it soon. Been a tough (too hot) and uninspiring summer.
Thank you Jon.
Your photographs are stunning. May I use them in my Substack if I credit you? (I’m based in Suffolk)
Hi, I’m glad you liked them. If you credit me you can use them in your substack posts 🙂
