Wildlife Photography across the Water: Websites

Websites

Well it seems the world and his wife has a website these days varying from excellent to downright dreadful, There are many companies doing anything from bespoke arm and a leg jobs to cheap but effective templates, I went for one of the arm and a leg jobs just over a year ago with a company called Livebooks, They are well respected here and many of the big names in photography use them including Art Wolf, I am very happy with the site i have and its quick and easy to not only add and delete images but to also make subtle changes so in effect keep the website fresh looking, the site i have allows unlimited images and unlimited portfolios so enough to keep me busy for a while, I had a mail from Livebooks some time ago saying that they are now offering a template type service with monthly payments for people who cant or don't want to cough up a large amount of money, Then yesterday i received a mail from them saying that as i am an existing customer i can add extra websites using the templates for either a one off payment or $10 a month-better still pay yearly for $100-well my eyes nearly popped out of my head, I have a couple of domain names in waiting so i am going ahead and having websites built for my non wildlife images, Live books are an excellent company and their staff are very good at getting you sorted all in a very professional manner, If you don't have a website or are looking to have a new one then make sure that you give them a look

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.
