Smokey Mountains-sun sun sun

Well what a difference a day makes, After the wet conditions we now have bright sunlight after a misty cold morning, I have spent the last couple of days shooting white tails, Conditions today were fantastic with some deer appearing out of the fog, Its also a landscapers paradise with mist in the valleys and snow on the mountain tops along with the fall colours, Lots of people here are the main problems with some idiots chasing deer to get shots-nearly had a fight yesterday after some prat run up to deer that i was shooting and chased them into the woodland without any thought of what i was doing,there is no need here,the deer are used to people and very calm
I will post some images once i am back at home as i have very bad connectivity here and am at present sitting in the car outside the motel office as that's the only place i get any any sort of Internet access

On another note i see Martin beat me to the MK4 news-initial specs look very good but time will tell, Note that there is already a firmware upgrade for the 7D

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.
