USB 3 Devices

Firstly i apologize for the lack of wildlife blogs by me for the last week or so, My house is on the market as we want to get a house with a good amount of land, So that means some touching up of the paint work and carpet cleaning etc, Add to that my wife has offered my services as a dog sitter whilst a friend is on holiday for 3 weeks and you understand why the cameras have stayed in the bag, I am shooting a couple of tennis matches today but nothing on the wildlife front, What i have been doing is getting getting all my drives etc turned over to USB 3 for added speed, I purchased 3 Rosewill external enclosures for my 3TB and 2x 2TB drives, I have a USB3 port in my laptop so i purchased a USB3 express card bus as i have a card bus port in my laptop, This now gives me 3 USB 3 ports for backing up etc which i use Acronis software for, The last time that i cloned my drives it took 27 hours so i will be interested how quickly it does it using the USB3 ports

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.
