Following on from my last post - https://lukebennettphotos.com/blog/2026/1/31/photography-problems-the-ever-increasing-backlog-of-photographs-that-need-editing - here are a few more recent edits, done whilst recouping from surgery a month ago.
I’ve written on here before about how hard and sporadic it can be to get out and about with my camera, even at the best of times, but currently it’s impossible on an ongoing basis. Looking back through these photos whilst editing, I mostly feel gratitude - that despite the pain, exhaustion, and other consequences of getting out and taking them, I’m really pleased I did. I also feel worried that I might not be able to again for some time, or as frequently (despite it already being far from regular, and completely at the mercy of my health), or even at all. But that’s a story for another day.
The following were taken at various points in 2025. Of the beasties, all but the last four photos were of fully wild animals. The last four were taken in a National Trust property, so technically still wild, but within the confines of Charlecote Gardens, so no real skill is involved in sneaking up on them.
