Wildlife Photography across the Water: Nothing new

Nothing new

I haven't picked up my camera since returning from the mountains as i have been ill, I am still under the weather but have had lots of tests at the doctors which showed there was nothing to worry about-just one of those things i guess, I have kept baiting areas and the other night i had deer,fox,opossum and raccoon in my garden and that's the first time i have seen the big '4' in my garden in one evening, I take it as a sign that tougher weather is on its way and today i awake to 47 degrees which is about 20 degrees less than last week although the days are lovely, I am back to the private land tonight and will start with some different set ups for birds so that i can get consistent images over the autumn and winter, I also stupidly promised the wife that i would decorate the house once the weather cooled off so guess what i am doing now-me and my big mouth, So nothing really to report except that consistant baiting is very important and even if you are ill or on holiday its very important to keep it going even if you have to ask your wife or neighbour to do it

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.
