Wildlife Photography across the Water: New York New York

New York New York

I am writing this late Sunday as we leave early for the long trip back to NC Monday (today) Today i travelled south to the New Jersey beach but apart from great weather it was a waste photographically-ca la vie, You cant win them all i guess and a couple of places have been noted for future reference, Last night i went to the Hudson river and from the New Jersey side took shots of the Manhattan skyline as the sunset-it was a fantastic view with perfect weather conditions, I took a couple of hundred images as it turned from sunset to night and will stitch them together when i get home,i will cover this later as well as the settings and technique for this type of landscape shooting, We will only be home for a couple of days before we head off to Tennessee where the photography will go into over drive-cant wait

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.
