New friends to the blog

Well the D7000 posts that Dave has been sharing over the last week have clearly been very popular - in fact our most popular blogs since we started just under two years ago. For that we can thank the links to Dpreview that Dave has posted this - this has sent a massive amount of traffic over here. On the most popular day, which was last Tuesday we had just a tad under 1500 visits.

We have also welcomed a fair bit of traffic from forum.nikoniarze.pl - I was gobsmacked to see the traffic from Poland. Good to see you guys here. also dslr-forum.de too, so welcome to our German viewers.

To put things in context, over the equivalent 16 day period of this year compared to last year we have had visitors from 104 countries now and 36 countries last year.

A number of visitors have added to the friends list, so we are pleased to welcome you, hope you stay around, and please feel free to interact with us via the comments.

Thanks again

Martin

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.
