Future blog posts

As I said in the opening post, we intend to post up daily content

To give you an idea of the key themes that we will be covering in the weeks and months ahead here is an outline plan

Kit we use and abuse

An item each week about the gear we use, bodies, lenses, flash, accessories, printers, bags - stuff we use and abuse on a daily basis. What works well an what doesn't - so we can save you wasting your money - learn from our mistakes!!

Long Lenses - and how to use them and support them

Staple gear of the wildlife photographer - it can be a big learning curve when you start to use large glass. We will tell you of our experiences. This will be set out in quite a few parts.

Trip Reports - where we have been and what we have seen
Dave and I will be doing a number of trips in our own and other countries this year. Keep watching , see what we have been up to and photographed.

From the Archives

We will share some of our favourite images from our past - stuff that you may have seen before and certainly some stuff that you haven't, with details of where and how we did it.

Software and Hardware we toil with
Dave and I use a number of applications between us - we will share us impressions, what we like, and how we manage some of our work flow. Some reviews of some of our kit like monitors, colour management, graphics tablets, archiving and storing images.

News, Reviews, Views and Links we like
Self explanatory - or maybe a day off

and finally
Guest Photographer slot

A shamelessly plagiarised great idea from another blogsite - check out our links to see which one. So we will be asking some of the photographers that we know and admire to come and share their world with you and us. If you want to be included , well then just contact us.

So we hope there will be enough there to keep you in reading material, entertainment, education and most of all enjoyment on a daily basis, so if you haven't subscribed, hit the RSS feed at the top of the site, or join us as a 'friend of the blog' to make sure you don't miss the posts

Could you also add an article about metering ? I'm finding it now the hardest thing to get right. Look forward to seeing lots of images & learning.

HI Mark_O

Yes - would be happy to do that in the future. Keep watching and subscribing and you will see that.

Dave and I use at least a couple of methods between us.

Bio's

David Courtenay, a self taught wildlife and nature photographer, has been capturing images for over 30 years. He has had a passion for wildlife since early childhood and remembers being glued to the television whenever Survival, Wildlife on One and other natural history documentaries were shown. In the 2006 he swapped his established career for the life of a wildlife photographer, such a move demands a measure of uncompromising passion and commitment.

David has travelled extensively throughout Europe as well as spending more than 7 months in India working with local guides and trackers in search of Bengal Tiger, Asian One horned Rhino and Asian Elephant. He has also photographed Wildlife in Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, Africa, Canada and America. Working closely with Conservation companies he tries to raise funds to help Wildlife that has been put on the endangered list by poaching and habitation loss

Martin Dyer has had a passion for avian wildlife since childhood, particularly raptors. Photography was also another keen interest and it was with the specific availability and control of the whole process that digital offers that Martin was then able to combine the two in 2003. Based in the UK, Martin is a regular visitor to Scotland, specifically the Isle of Mull to watch the Eagles resident there. Other trips to Europe and around the UK are usually part of Martin’s agenda in a typical year.

However, as a firm believer on making the most of the local patch, Martin has spent a lot of time and hard work creating a wildlife garden which is reaping the rewards with many new species and varieties of wildlife. A keen member of a number of wildlife photographic groups, Martin is keen to expand his portfolio into other areas of wildlife, and has already established a wide portfolio of images of fungi.
