Wildlife Photography across the Water: The best laid plans

The best laid plans

Can you believe that i haven't been to NY for nearly 20 years and the one weekend i go B+H is shut and doesn't open until the day i leave is this some undercover espionage by my wife-lol I had even given the credit card a good buffing-well i have plans to return next month for a long weekend so hope the Jewish holidays don't get in the way of that trip,
Anyways a trip away is always a good time to lay all the camera gear out and give everything a good clean, I have permission to take Sunday off and get away from family business and spend some time on the beach in New Jersey-the weather looks good-dry and overcast so hopefully there will be some waders and hopefully a skimmer or 2
The shops are in full sale mode here so bargains are a plenty, I bought a new waterproof camo suit-jacket and trousers for $99 so will give it a workout on Sunday crawling on the beach, I seem to spend a lot of the time on my front crawling through wet grass and mud so if this does what it claims it will be a god send

So a quicky today but will hope to have better news the next time

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.
