My walk on the Wild Side with Cambridge TV

1 September 2016/in Trips, Tours and Outings/by Alice Hunter

I was just getting ready to post this week’s blog yesterday (which will now be up next week instead) when I got some exciting news and I just had to share it as soon as possible! I recently spent an afternoon filming at Trumpington Meadows with a team from Cambridge TV who were making a feature on the reserve for their series, The Wild Side. The episode went live at rather short notice last night.

Having spent so much time getting to know the reserve and photograph it through the seasons, I was really pleased to be asked to take part in this short documentary. The focus is on the development of the reserve and it’s biodiversity, with an added piece on macro photography by yours truly.

It was a strange experience for me to be the other side of the camera, but a treat to be able to share some photography tips and tricks with a wider audience as well as some of my images from the reserve.

Here is a quick screen shot with one of the lovely presenters, Adam Canning. If you want to watch the whole episode, you can catch up online here.

Autumn anthology joy

17 August 2016/in Tips, tricks and kit/by Alice Hunter

After a brief break for the last couple of weeks I am pleased to be back blogging again and even more so as I have some exciting news to share: the Autumn anthology, the latest in a wonderful series of books for the Wildlife Trusts is out now and again I am thrilled to have a piece of writing within its crisp, new pages!

Like the previous editions, this beautiful anthology is a mixed anthology of old and new works exploring the progression of autumn in our countryside and I was pleased to have a piece about the importance of the hedgerow during this season of fruitfulness accepted. I am particularly excited to be featured alongside such writing greats as Rev. Gilbert White, WB Yeats and Dylan Thomas as well as some wonderful present day writers like the editor Melissa Harrison, John Lewis-Stempel and Amy Liptrot. Once again though, I am lucky to find myself among friends as I know a number of other contributors.

The book is available through my website as well as a number of more widespread outlets and the money raised by its sale will benefit the Wildlife Trusts.
