Wildlife Photography across the Water: Saturday Quicky

Saturday Quicky

Sorry for not having much to say other than its still over 100 degrees, We have had 8 days this year over 100 and the record is 12 days and looking at next week its high 90's, I will still be without a driving license for another 2 weeks so am starting to get cabin fever, The hummingbirds are very active and there seems to be a constant aerial battle over our garden as they are very territorial, I must try and get some images in the next 3 weeks before we move out and into an apartment, The apartment is on the ground floor so i will put some feeders out and can shoot from the balcony which may be better than here as i will be able to keep in the shade,If you live in Europe and do not have a car then you just jump on bus or train, Where i live in NC there isn't any infrastructure and if you do not have a car then you are buggered, I am glad that we have good neighbours and can sometimes get a lift to the shops or a starbucks, But on the bright side in the next 3 weeks we will have moved and i will have my driving license back
On a brighter note all the forums are buzzing with speculation of new products announcements from both Canon and Nikon in the next month-Time will tell

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.
