Wildlife Photography across the Water: A quickie today

A quickie today

Lying here in bed on Saturday morning, with a bit of hangover after a lengthy drinking bender in Manchester yesterday, in addition to a minor cold that will probably develop into full blown man flu by lunchtime, today's offering from me will be brief and I will link to some recommended reading for you.

A few years ago after I went to Formby to photograph the Red Squirrels, I travelled across to Whitby on the North East coast of England. There I spent an entertaining and educational weekend on a landscape phonographic course with a fine gentleman by the name of Keith Henson. An excellent photographer and teacher as well as a great sense of humour.

It was while browsing through my phone at various tweets that I came across a link to Keith's latest blog post, so having in read it through at length and thought I would share it with you. So here it is ....thoughtful and entertaining commentary. Hope you enjoy 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.
