If you’d like to learn a little more about the natural world and how to take better pictures? This is the podcast for you. These podcasts are about inspiring a passion for wildlife. Explaining taking incredible pictures isn’t that difficult. We’re Mark and Jacky Bloomfield, and we take photos of the natural world for a living. We want to help people understand, enjoy and learn about the things we are passionate about, wildlife and photography.
In our line of work, we have ventured over a lot of the United Kingdom and parts of Africa. We really enjoy going and experiencing new places and wildlife to photograph. The thing about new places is they can be more than a little bit frightening. You don’t know what you have let yourself in for. Is all the time and money you’ve spent going to be worth it?
Of course most of the time going somewhere new is worth the effort, but it is impossible to keep going to new places. So we have a fall back. We have a series of places that are very local to us that we visit on a regular basis. These are our banker places to take photographs, somewhere we are going to get pictures.
We’ve had a lot of comments about close by locations that you can visit regularly. It seems that they seem to be the last on the list for photographers to visit and take photographs. Well we hope that in this podcast we can help change your mind. Local can be just as rewarding as traveling hundreds of miles to not get a sighting or photograph.

19 - A year through our kitchen windows
Episode 19 “A year through our kitchen window” What an odd subject for a podcast you may think. But we will take you through our kitchen windows and into the woods beyond, which are full of wildlife. The wildlife we are privileged to be able to watch day to day. To witness, dramas life and death struggles, going on just outside our kitchen windows. This episode contains a full year of extracts from our wildlife diary where we record the comings and goings in our garden.
There has been a wee bit of a break in the regularity of publishing episodes in 2022. We hope that you will stick with us as we have started to overcome the circumstances that have made it impossible for us to publish as many episodes as we would wish. Fingers crossed we are now getting back on track and will be able to publish more in 2023.

18 - Our kit recommendations for macro photography
Have you ever stopped and wondered how close-ups of flowers, butterflies, etc., are taken? These pictures are the ones we repeatedly take regularly.
Over many years we have tested many bits of equipment. Some have been a help; others have ended up in a box somewhere.
In this episode, we will tell you what we carry with us. Why we do it and how we use it. Learn from our successes and failures.
You’re going to be surprised by some of the equipment we use. But over the years, we have refined what we take with us. What helps us create spectacular and individual pictures; of the intricate, macro world that surrounds us all.
Take a journey into the world of macro photography. Don’t make the mistakes we did. Find out what we have ended up using, and learn from us.
