The Rambling Nature Photographer

Join me on a long overdue stroll along a local lane and within a woodland filled with beautiful autumn colours. 

I'm now back home and have had a few days to digest all that I've experienced and look over the many thousands of images I've created. 

Now at the second, even more remote location about 50km south of the first. Find out how I get on in the 'wolf' hide. 

I'm in central eastern Finland on an 11-day solo research trip for bears and wolves. So far, I've had two very productive hide sessions and a very close encounter! Thank you for listening! Until the next installment..... 

I take a stroll around 'my' wood, encounter dragonflies and, such is the spontaneous nature of this podcast, have a little grumble about a few things that suddenly pop into my head including Nikon's lack of supplying a RAW file for multiple exposures. 

In this episode, I take a walk around part of Cliffe Pools on the Isle of Grain, and talk about a hugely influential British landscape photographer. 

Following an unintentional break, I'm back with a roundup of what I've been up to and what lay ahead including a recent tour to Umbria and an upcoming research trip to Finland for wolves and bears! I discuss my strategy for backing up photos, and during the recording, experience two wonderful encounters.  Call of the black-throated diver: https://www.british-birdsongs.uk/black-throated-diver/  

I'm on the Kent marshes in this episode to test a new light meter. Spring is in full swing with the sound of waders all around. If only May would last for three months instead of just the one!  Photos from the day: www.robertcanis.com/blog 

In this episode, I visit a familiar country lane and woodland to photograph bluebells and discuss the work of an inspirational nature photographer. Please bear with it until the very last second as just when I planned to finish and head home, I decided to go elsewhere!

In this episode, I return to the same country lane as in the first in the hope of photographing my favourite woodland flower - wood anemones. I also talk about another photographer whose work I greatly admire and whose book I have recently purchased.
