Wildlife Photography across the Water

Friday 4 March 2011

The time is flying and the jet lag is going, I am off to Washington DC tomorrow for a week, So should get plenty of city type photography as well as hitting the coast for some wildlife, Since being back i have only had time to download the images and back up and start getting the gear ready for next week, At least i wont have to wear the extreme weather gear that i used in Japan, Going through the images from Japan i came across some images that Pete and myself took of each other, Its a good thing to do as it shows you in that environment for memories as well as giving you some stuff for your own website
Here i am at Lake Kusharo where we photographed the Whooper swans

and an atmospheric one of Pete at the start of the day

You can see the mist coming off of the water which was caused by the hot springs that are there and the only reason that there is some unfrozen water-hence the swans-fantastic place and probably THE surprise place of the trip,

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.
