Wildlife Photography across the Water: Review of the Year Part 6

Review of the Year Part 6 - June

And so on into half way through the year.

Dave started the month off with a trip to Colorado and posted some reports here, here and here.

Here in the UK it was a great time for Orchids and I shared some of my experiences here and also some sad news when my local council decimated a load of Bee Orchids here.

It had been quite a while since I needed to buy any inks for my Canon printer and had quite a shock as we reported here and here.

It was a great year too for butterflies and I found some good specimens very locally to me.

In our Tips and Techniques section, I did a bit on lighting control and Dave covered fill in flash with wildlife here and backgrounds here.

I gave the poor unloved 'Corvid' family the opportunity for a fair hearing in this post.

In my garden, I had ben getting a lot of life at my pond and we clocked up the 200th post this month.

Stat porn for June - 3,178 number of page views, from 491 unique visitors in 28 countries, and at the half year stage we had cumulative totals of 22,698 number of page views, from 2,766 unique visitors in 55 countries.

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.
