Wildlife Photography across the Water: Inspriration

Inspriration

Its something that well all need to get the best best from our photography, It can come in many forms but when you are inspired it makes a huge difference, Since moving into the apartment i must admit i have lacked any inspiration and the shoulders have been somewhat dropped, Today i got an e-mail from Singh ray filters, You may remember that i purchased one of the blue and gold filters last month for my Smoky Mountain trip in 3 weeks, The video is around 30 minutes and cover the main filters used for landscape photography, Some of the places in the video i have shot at and i must admit that after watching the video i wanted to grab my gear and head off out, Watching the video you will see that American photographers like to hold the grad filters rather than use a holder, This is something i have noticed since moving here, Personally i like to use a filter holder so there is no way of knocking the camera, So grab a cup of tea and a biscuit and watch the video here
One thing i will say is that you can get the soft focus effect in processing rather than buying the filter, I did a blog on the 'Orton' effect a whilst back-see here

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.
