Review of the Year - Part 4 - April

So into Spring, at least here in the northern hemisphere - my favourite season, although it is always a close run thing with Autumn.

Dave took a great trip to Florida and gave us loads of wonderful images in fabulous light (forgotten what that looks like at the moment). In a seven part series that can be seen here as Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7

It was a great trip and I for one loved reading of Dave's experiences and looking at the images.

Meanwhile, here in my Pond, the Frogblog series continued here and here with our first free swimmers

It was a busy month for software with articles on Photoshop CS5 and a technical review of Capture One V5

Also on the technical front, I did a quick and dirty of Lens AF micro adjustment with the 7D here and Dave set out a very good article on Manual metering techniques here.

We posted a lot of images in April and it might be worth a browse of the full archives here.

Finally, 552 of you made 2095 visits from 39 countries.

I will bring you some pictures from my Christmas trip to Norfolk in the coming blogs, as well as a grand gear clear out as I will be looking to sell off a number of camera bodies, lenses and other bits.

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.
