Review of the Year - Part 3 - March

March 2010 was a quiet month for trip reports as Dave and I didn't post anything on that front, but it was a busy month on other fronts.

Dave got hold of the Nikon 16-35f4 VR lens and put it through it's paces ahead of using it underwater.

Here in my garden in the UK, the pond exploded into new life and I posted five parts of a theme I called Frogblog as the frogs got mating and filled the pond up with spawn.

Dave shared some views on flashhead softboxes that he had been using on his Opossum project.

We had another guest photographer write for us. It was from Ashley Hugo who is based in Cornwall, a centre of a lot of wildlife photo bloggers. Even if you read the first time round, it is worth a re read.

Finally we closed with a day trip report that I did after a day out with our friend Robbie Brookes who was on a flying visit down from Shetland.

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.
