A Study in Greyscale - IR Landscapes 

Pictures by Alan Griffiths 

IR effect pictures are unusual in appearance 

as the digital image is converted to a ‘heat’ 

image. 

Cold areas appear darker then the warm areas 

so creating a heat map of the picture. This 

should not be confused with thermal imaging 

which is also referred to as Far Infrared. 

What we see is an interpretation of Near 

Infrared. To ‘see’ the picture in this way can 

produce some stunning effects.

A Study in Nature - Kingfisher 

Pictures by Scott Latham 

Although the Kingfisher is found on most rivers and 

lakes, they move very quickly, darting in and out of 

the water to fast to follow. But one thing they do is 

to have a favoured perch. So if predictive 

photography or fast reactions are not your forte, then 

set the camera to watch the perch. 

If you see the bird diving to the same area, then take 

the wider view and crop in later. Just make sure you 

use a fast enough speed to freeze the action. 


The Cathedral of Saint- Etienne includes various architectural styles. Romanesque areas of the building 

were constructed in the 12th century. It was later rebuilt, mainly in Gothic style, and two additional 

structures in Baroque style were added in the 17th Century.

A Study in Nature 

Wildlife of America - Snowy Owls by Larry Hitchins 


A rather large monkey, a bit smaller than a baboon, no 

not close to the oversized scary alpha male baboon 

with big teeth, I mean at an average. 

These ones hang out most of the time, doing just that… 

hanging out, in trees, up there…they don’t move far 

from water and you know those nuts that everyone else 

don’t want because they are too hard to crack, that’s 

the ones these guys open, as well as chewing trough 

old wood and bark all in the efforts of looking for the 

juicy insects in there.

Wildlife Borneo - Another Day in Paradise 13 

Sabah Reef by Gary Bridger 

The underwater world of Sabah Reef is threatened by development and irresponsible tourism. Here is just a 

glimpse of the fragile beauty that may soon disappear. 



This tiny miner bee is excavating coarse sand particles to make its nest under patio slabs. Amazing to watch 

such a tiny, industrious worker. Robert Murray
