A long-overdue podcast! Moving forward, in an effort to make these more regular, I’ll be aiming to record shorter, bite-sized episodes.

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.

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
