Wildlife Photography across the Water: Review of the year Part 2

Review of the year Part 2 - February

In the second part of our look back at this year, I thought I would highlight some of the key posts that we made in February.

A couple of posts from our archives looked back at Dave's experiences in India and I took a look back at the Red Squirrels at Formby who have been having a hard time of it.

In the gear section we looked at hides, the Canon 50D, and the Dell 2407 monitor.

Dave shared some techniques with us on Slow motion panning and also his methods of metering.

I went to Mull for four days and set out three trip reports here, here and here - so if you like to see Otter in their wild habitat have a drop into those links.

There were also quite a few local patch reports along with other reviews on software, so check in to the archives for February on the lnks down the right hand side.

Stats for Feb were 4,375 page visits, 584 visitors from 31 countries - so were were a bit up on Jan's figures

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.
