Today, Sunday 6th April 2025, saw a visit to the WWT Arundel Wetlands Centre on a beautiful sunny day! I took my Sony a9ii mirrorless camera with me along with my Sony 200-600mm G OSS lens and my carbon fibre tripod from the British manufacturer, 3 Legged Thing!

I am delighted to share some of the photos that I took from around the centre, so you can see a few things that are on offer should you decide to go visit! Please note that some of the “non exhibit” wildlife photos are dependant on the time of year that you visit, re seasonal visitors.

Raw 9 x 9 grid Panorama image with no clean up

This, more unusual, type of photography is rather different and I have found it very challenging and rewarding, at the same time, to experiment with and learn. Essentially what we have here is 9 photos arranged in a 3 x 3 grid to give a single ultrawide, almost fisheye, style photography of an area. As I do not possess an extreme ultrawide lens or a fisheye which can cost serious amounts of money, I have the resources to recreate an approximate equivalent.

Now this image is a rough image, as shown by the compression and the obvious lack of being “flat” and “square edged” sides. To finish this photo and convert it to a standard photo, I would typically crop into the photo and cut off the edges to leave a more traditional view.
