Why Are Spider Webs So Beautiful in the Morning? 🕸️

Most of the time, spider webs are almost invisible.

But on cool mornings, tiny droplets of dew cling to every strand, revealing intricate designs that were hidden all along.

It's a reminder that some of nature's greatest wonders are only visible under the right conditions.

💬 What's your favourite kind of morning for photography—mist, frost or dew?

Why Do Rabbits Suddenly Freeze? 🐇

One moment they're happily grazing... the next they're completely still.

Rabbits rely on staying unnoticed. Freezing allows them to assess danger before deciding whether to bolt for cover.

Sometimes doing absolutely nothing is the safest option.

💬 Have you ever watched a rabbit quietly disappear without making a sound?

Why Do Dragonflies Keep Landing on People? 🪰

If a dragonfly lands on your arm, it's not trying to bite you or claim you as its new best friend!

Dragonflies often use people as convenient perches, especially on warm, sunny days.

They may also be taking advantage of your body heat or using you as a lookout while hunting insects.

For a few moments, you become part of their world.

💬 Have you ever had a dragonfly land on you?

Welcome to this week's Artist Spotlight :)

This evening we have the amazing Lloyd who's images captured my attention due to the use of light and colour in his images :)

Q1: What's your name and where are you based?

A - Lloyd Lane, based in Brighton, East Sussex.

Q2: How did you first get into photography?

A - It all started during my travels - photography began simply as a way of capturing memories. It was during a road trip across Southern Africa that people started telling me I had an eye for it, which encouraged me to take it more seriously. I upgraded from a compact camera to a Micro Four Thirds, something I could grow with, started watching YouTube tutorials, reading books, and gradually became completely hooked. I soon realised it was the photography that mattered more than the travel - so I started shooting closer to home too, doing long exposures and night scenes around London. Eventually I moved to the Sussex coast to be close to the sea and countryside, and that's where I found my love for landscape photography.

Q3: What type of photography do you mainly focus on, and what's your favourite thing to photograph?

A - I focus mainly on landscape photography, with Sussex and the South Downs at the heart of it. I'm drawn to the coast, the chalk downland, ancient woodlands and heathlands - essentially everything on my doorstep. If I had to pick a favourite, it would be misty mornings on the South Downs - there's something magical about being up on the hills before sunrise, waiting for the mist to settle in the valleys below. I also love photographing the starling murmurations at Brighton's Palace Pier in winter - it's a completely different discipline but equally captivating.

Q4: What camera gear do you currently shoot with?

A -
Sony A7RV
Sony FE 16-35mm F4 ZA OSS
Sony FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS
Sony FE 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 OSS GM
NiSi JetMag filter system (polariser and neutral density filters)

Q5: Who or what inspires your photography style?

A - My biggest inspiration is the landscape itself - the South Downs in particular, with its sweeping curves and undulating chalk downland. It's endlessly photogenic - no two mornings are ever the same. Light plays a huge role too, especially in those fleeting early morning moments just after sunrise, when the landscape is transformed in ways that last only minutes. Atmospheric conditions fascinate me as well - mist settling in the valleys, cloud inversions, dramatic skies - these are what get me out of bed in the early hours. In terms of style, I'm drawn to the work of Eric Ravilious, the early 20th century painter and illustrator, whose compositions guide the viewer's eye through the landscape in a way I find myself naturally drawn to in my own photography.

Q6: What has been your favourite or most memorable photography moment so far?

A - There's one moment that stands out above all others. One morning I was waiting for a cloud inversion to break, running short on time before work. Suddenly a section of the inversion began to lift, and from the corner of my eye I saw a flock of birds rise from a nearby field. I always keep preset camera settings ready for different conditions, so instinctively I switched to my murmuration settings, focused on a favourite lone tree, and captured a few frames. It was one of those fleeting moments where preparation and instinct came together - years of early mornings on the South Downs and countless hours photographing murmurations meant I could react in an instant. I called the image 'The Unveiling' and it remains one of my favourite photography moments.

Q7: Where can people find and support your work?

A - You can find my work on Instagram Lloyd Lane Photography and on my website at lloydlane.uk where I also offer print sales and calendars. I've been producing calendars of my local area - Brighton and Sussex - for around 10 years now.

Please go give him a follow :) and check out his website.

Why Are There Tiny Holes in Leaves? 🍃

Those neat little holes aren't always caused by caterpillars.

Leafcutter bees carefully cut perfect circles from leaves to line the nests where they'll raise their young.

The plant usually survives, while the bee gains the perfect building material.

💬 Have you ever spotted these tiny leaf circles in your garden?

– Why Are There Feathers Everywhere? 🪶

Finding a scattering of feathers can feel mysterious.

Sometimes it's simply a bird moulting, replacing old feathers with new ones.

Other times, it's evidence that a predator has recently caught a meal.
Nature isn't always neat—but every feather tells part of a story.

💬 What's the most beautiful feather you've ever found?
