Behind the Lens
Welcome to my landscape, nature, and wildlife photography blog.
Here you'll find all of the latest images, and commentary by Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire landscape photographer Rob Thorley Photography. Read on to find out about where I've been, and what landscape, nature, and wildlife subjects I've been photographing.
Weetman’s Bridge
Photographing Weetman’s Bridge, which is a lovely arched bridge that spans the River Trent at Little Haywood.
The Human Tree
The plan today was to go and find the “Human Tree”, also known as the “Groot Tree” at Cannock Chase.
Swineholes Autumn Colours
Maybe it’s an age thing, but to myself “Autumn” seems to be getting later and later. After much procrastination I eventually got myself, and my gear together and headed out for some woodland landscape photography.
This Isn’t A Mandarin Duck!
Wildlife photography at a local nature reserve after a wildlife tip off that there were Mandarin Ducks on the pools.
Nikon Z8 Birds In Flight
For my first outing with the Nikon Z8 I headed over to Whitfield Valley nature reserve to experiment with the settings and photograph birds in flight.

A bit of sunset landscape photography as I try out the inbuilt focus shift shooting technology with the Nikon Z7ii.
