D7000 update

Ok after re reading my blog this morning i now realise its best not to write after a bottle of wine at midnight!!!, Best buys are similar to the UK's Dixon chain and i got my 600F4 VR from Wolf camera which is similar to Jessops-So anyway i did take a trip to Best Buys at Crabtree Mall in Raleigh and sure enough they showed 3 in stock and after much search through cabinets we found them and i bought one,But not until i played my trump card of showing a coupon that i had downloaded off of the internet for 12% discount for silver card members of which i am not, The girl still took the coupon and i did get the discount so in effect ended up getting it locally and paying 4% less than i would have done from B+H, The battery is now in charge and it will get a good work out this coming week in the smokys where i can shoot it side by side with the D300 and D3s

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.
