Wildlife Photography across the Water: Review of the Year - Part 10

Review of the Year - Part 10 - October

Just a quick look back at October in the Review of the Year series.

The main story of the month was Dave's acquisition of the Nikon D7000 fresh from the launch. As a result of a number of posts, and the subsequent links to other forums visitor numbers to the blog started to go up at the end of the month as the new camera body generated huge interest across the world.

Dave's first impressions, a comparison with the D300 and the sharpness were all reported.

I took a trip to Gigrin Farm to see the Red Kites , the 'White Kite' and other birds, and Dave also went across to the Smokey's with reports here, here, here and here.

With Autumn in full swing, a few trips to the woods were taken to photograph fungi, my garden Sparrowhawk continued to feed, and Dave answered a few questions on the blog that had been put to him.

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.
