Wildlife Photography across the Water: Review of the Year - Part 9

Wednesday 2 February 2011

Review of the Year - Part 9 - September

September was a mixed and varied month, with our blogging content covering a wide spectrum from photo techniques like this one from Dave on backgrounds and the need for probably the most important quality we need as wildlife photographers - patience and some great images here of the racoons.

Here in the UK, there were still plenty of moths and a few butterflies around still.

Pricing policy particularly for the UK market vexes us frequently and I set out a couple of though provoking blogs here and here on Canon prices and insurance replacement costs.

Dave took a quick trip to the Smokey Mountains and shared the experience here and here.

On the gear front, Dave flagged up some Nikon news and I shared how I used the C1 to C3 settings on the Canon 7D to show how you could quickly switch from different subject modes with a bit of pre-programming.

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.
