Review - Look back at our First Month

Well it was a month ago that we launched Wildlife Photography across the Water so I thought I would just have a quick look back at the stats. and see what we have achieved.

We have managed to post every day so far and hope to continue to do so, although there will be times when we will no doubt 'have a day off', but that is one of the benefits of two of us writing.

We have included news, reviews, views, trip reports, gear we use and abuse, long lenses, software and some work from the archives. We still haven't started our guest photographer slot, but expect to get that off the ground this month.

Looking at the numbers, we have had 2,216 visits from 637 different visitors from 37 different countries from all continents except South America. 47% of you don't use Microsoft's Internet Explorer with Firefox being the most popular and 11.5% of you using Macs and 1.2% of visits from an Iphone.

So many thanks to those of you who have visited the site and continue to support us. We have had a couple of comments with some specific requests, which we have now covered in the Lenses section and also metering.

If there are any topics you want us to cover, please feel free to ask and use the comments section, we welcome all feedback.

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.
