Wonderful to see this kingfisher just five minutes from home. I didn’t get too close but loving the composition, sometimes small in frame just works:) #smallinframe #kingfisher #birdphotographý @omsystemcameras.uk

Family Circle is back as a limited edition single colour (black) print! First batch printed today so will need some time to dry out first. #erolinstudios #corvids #printmaking ##linoprinting

I was at my local country park today and spotted a pair of cormorants drying out on the peer. I almost didn’t photograph them as I see them so often, but really glad I did! It’s an overcast day so the water behind came out white making them look as if they posing in a studio!

PRINT RELEASE - Saturday 14th Feb, 8pm UK time I don’t usually do print releases at designated times, but a few people have been asking about this one so thought I’d set a date/ time in advance:) #bohemianwaxwing #linocutprint

Peel reveal of the final layer on my Bohemian waxwing print! It was a lot of work, but I’m pleased with the result:) #bohemianwaxwing #waxwing #linocut #printmaking

I’ve been terrible at posting on here, but here’s my latest reduction linocut of waders; a common ringed plover, dunlin, and sanderling:) #linoprint #birdart #printmaking

‘Goldfinches’ is a five layer reduction wood engraving of a pair of goldfinches on teasel. This print is based on a couple of photos I took earlier this year. #printmaking #woodengraving #goldfinches

Some frogs from a week or so ago in our garden pond. They left three lovely clumps of spawn which I’m now watching transform daily:) #frogs #wildlifephotography

That’s my long-tailed t*t print finished! Really pleased how it has turned out and feel I’m making good progress with wood engraving. I aimed for an edition of 30 but ended up with 23. Some were misaligned, under/over printed, and my cat destroyed two by jumping on them! #printmaking #woodengraving

Still focusing on wood engraving, I’m currently working on a five layer reduction print of a long tailed t*t. Just the final layer left to go now.

‘Birth of the Pollywogs’ is now dry and ready to hop off! This is an original wood engraving of a frog with her frogspawn and tadpoles - or pollywogs as they are also known. #printmaking #woodengraving #frogspawn #naturelover

“One should not overlook the Sparrow” Practicing with my big lens on the sparrows in the garden. Think I might make a print based on one of these. #birdphotography #sparrow

I’m a bit rubbish keeping up with more than one social media account! But just realised I never shared my finished toad wood engraving here, so here he is, I hope you like him! #printmaking #woodengraving #toad #wildlifeart

I know some printmakers aren’t keen on ‘Giclée’ (digital) prints/reproductions, which I can understand. They can cause confusion as sometimes people don’t know the difference between these digital prints and handmade traditional prints (such as lino prints).

A change from my usual macro! Practicing with my zoom on birds in the garden. I’m still getting used to hand-holding a heavier lens so relying on high shutter speeds & dxo to de-noise. But pleased overall. OM1 mark II M zuiko 100-400mm lens DXO photolab and lightroom #birdphotography #omsystems

(Hope I’m doing this right!) Art friends - QRP with your artwork and share what other passions/jobs/hobbies you have! I work as a uni lecturer in medical art and my other hobbies & interests include photography, computer games, gardening, and lucid dreaming!

And he’s finished! All ready for a test print:) I’m really loving wood engraving at the moment- just ordered some new blocks and tools and keen to keep learning! #woodengraving #printmaking #toad

I’m working on a new wood engraving based on a photo of mine. I’m really liking being able to use my own photos as reference - it feels nice to combine my photography and art. #printmaking #toad #woodengraving

There’s not many bugs around to feed my macro photography habit in January, in Scotland. But there are these critters - Springtails! About 1mm long at the most, this one was found skating on the surface of my dog’s water bowl! #macrophotography #macro #photography #wildlifephotography

Well Bluesky seems very promising so far. Good engagement and a warm welcome. I’m looking forward to meeting fellow artists and art lovers (nature lovers too) on here:) Here my latest print I’m working on, a wood engraving of a long eared bat and phases of the moon. #printmaking #woodengraving

Over on IG have two accounts, one for printmaking and another for macro photography. Here I’m going to share both (although focusing mostly on print/art) because to me it’s a part of the same wider interest - i.e. a love of the natural world and trying to capture this in images. #macrophotography
