Wildlife Photography across the Water: Review of the Year - Final Part

Wednesday 6 January 2010

Review of the Year - Final Part - December

So onto the final part - Part 12 on twelfth night - just sneaked in on time

We made more posts in December than any previous month - 45 in total

We also made it to the end of the year with at least one post every day.

One of the things that people said to us when we started this was - y 'eah blogs they are OK but people dont bother to keep them up to date with new stuff.' Well we met the challenge we set ourselves. Hopefully some of you found some of our ramblings useful.

As it is all quite fresh, I am not going to post a whole load of links as per previous parts of this review of the year series.

With the exception of this one - Canon7D AF testing, as this is one that has been very popular looking at the stats for the month.

Looking forward to 2010, we will think about some more and new features for the blog. We will probably set up a survey to get some feedback, but please post your comments anyway. Tell us what you think, what you would like to see, more of, less of.

We will welcome the feedback.

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.
