I was cutting up an old willow stump last week for use in the aquarium, and found a bunch of bore-holes and a larval casing. And today I found what made them - a pair of quite spectacular lunar hornet moths (Sesia bembeciformis), I think. Pretty good mimicry, huh.

Hi all, Just back from a few days camping on Eigg (via Camusdarach). Suffered a bit from photographer's paranoia that all the good light was happening where I wasn't and was on foot so couldn't chase it, but fairly pleased with some of what I came away with despite a few missed opportunities...

Hi all, In celebration of finally finishing my gallery website I thought I'd share a trio of recent shots and unabashedly point those of you that might be interested at the new website and FB page. Thomas Black Photography Thomas Black Photography | Facebook Cheers, Tom

No drama on my walk this afternoon, just quiet damp sleepy old woods.

Not the most dramatic of falls (more a tumble, I guess), but very pretty, even in the wet. Grabbed a couple of shots despite the rain while looking for wood -

Took a break from work this afternoon for a quick stroll and picked up the GH2 and Olympus 35 macro in the hope of spotting some fungi. Only one such specimen obliged, but I did also spot a few young common frogs who were quite well behaved. This is the first non-aquarium macro stuff I've done...

Hi all, Had a lovely break in the south of France last week. Absolutely roasting, so took shelter in the forests and hills and ended up snapping quite a lot of plants while pootling about - thought you lot might appreciate them! This last one was really cool -...

Just drunk a bottle of wine to get my courage up, decided I really want to switch to micro four thirds format, and ordered... Panasonic GH2 Panasonic GF1 Panasonic 14-42mm Panasonic 20mm pancake Olympus 9-18mm (will be selling the 14-42 and getting a 14-140 or 14-42x down the road) So long...

Just a couple of odds and sods really, thought I'd stick them up anyway. Harris, looking towards Luskentyre and Taransay: Monarch Islands: And a lovely evening trip out to St Kilda (it's normally around gale force 9 when I make this trip, made a nice change!):

Sadly didn't get much photography in over the holidays, but did bag one I quite like whilst down in Cornwall. I've kept it deliberately dark. The detail is all there, but I guess hard to pick out at this size. The composition was really tricky, I was shooting at 10mm stood right on the edge...

Well, maybe that's a bit grand :p Noone trying to land in this weather though! Taken a couple oif days ago in Force 9-10 gales. We're an inch deep in snow and hail now...

Well once again I miss my tank and end up browsing through ukaps yearning for a day when I'm at home more than 6 months a year and can start again, then I remembered that you lot enjoyed some of my previous shots so thought I'd whack in a few more recent ones :) The cute guy at the...

Just thought I'd post up a few shots from St Kilda that I've had sitting around for a while. They're all a little rough around the edges due to being processed on my uncalibrated work laptop using the touchpad, and because I rarely have time to pick my light - these are almost all grab shots...

Well, my tank has gone to a friend for the foreseeable future, which is sad, but made up for by the fact that the reason I can't commit to it is that I'll be spending about 3 months a year doing fieldwork for my PhD on St Kilda. And here's where I'll be staying when I do: Village Bay, Hirta, St...
