Wildlife Photography across the Water: Great weekend for Bluebells

Great weekend for Bluebells

Back in this post, I mentioned that the weekend past would be about the best for Bluebells.....and it was, at least here in Warwickshire.

Saturday was cold wet and windy, but Sunday dawned brightly - perhaps too brightly at times. But a beautiful English Bluebell wood nevertheless.

Anyway, no particular story today, just a load of images for you. All taken with the 'new' old 5D and either the Canon 24-70f2.8L or the 300f4 IS L + 1.4EFTC. I really did miss the Live View feature that my newer 1Dmk111 and 7D have for the closer shots

Finally the walk out after a a couple of miles of bluebells, with the first Cuckoo of the year calling to us.

It was good to bump into a few old friends from Stratford Photo Group, and to chat to another couple of photographers who turned out to be neighbours from just up the road. It was good to meet and chat

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.
