Just came across a link to this. Amazing pictures.

Just in case anyone gets the wrong idea, I am not a habitual Mail reader.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Amazing indeed, I hope the Bat Conservation Trust offer him some work.

I enjoy the sight of bats over our garden in summer, I don't know if they roost in our roof or our neighbour's but I know my photographic limitations.

Wow - great shots and an impressive set-up! fantastic results. Thanks for the link. I don't read the Mail much either but on the strength of this I am prepared to look at the pictures

Looking at the rig he used I'm not entirely surprised he got some decent photos! That takes real dedication and a good amount of luck though - I bet there were hundreds of blurry out-of-focus things for every perfect bat photo.

It's also quite likely to be the only 100% accurate thing on that website!
