Just a quicky

Well my friends are still with me for another couple of days so no chance to get any wildlife/nature work done, Infact i havent had a spare minute and am about to go out on some canoes so will make this one a quicky, Yesterday we had 'The President' fly in to NC and as i live not too far from the airport sat out by the pool and waited for him to fly over,i told my friends i had arranged a fly by for them but dont think that they believed me, So i grabbed a few shots of airforce one but as with all things in life it wasnt as good as it could have been, The blue skies turned grey just before he flew in, I have shot everyday to keep a record of friends who visit and last night i put the D3 to work again as we went to a ball game and shot at high ISO as mentioned in a previous blog, I had seen some ball game at night images that i though were pretty cool and after taking a couple of test shots and adjusting the exposure until the histogram looked good i managed to get some reasonable images-as i said just a quicky and more technical blogs to come next week

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.
