Wildlife Photography across the Water: Finally

Sunday 2 October 2011

Finally

I apologize for the naff blogs of late, You may have gathered that my life has been far from calm but there is now a light at the end of the tunnel, In the last few days i have covered hundreds of miles and looked at numerous houses and areas, Today we made and offer on a new house with 1.4 acres of land and after a small amount of negotiation we finally secured it, We have asked to move fast and have a date of Oct 27th, I am back at the house tomorrow (Sunday) for a measure up and to have a good look around the land to see where the blinds and feeders will be located, The land will be mainly used for bird photography during the day and fox,opossum and raccoon at night, There is quite a bit of farmland not far away and i will be knocking on some doors with the hope of being allowed to photograph deer there, The community where the house is has 2 ponds with the smaller looking perfect for dragonflies etc so all in all i can only say that i am very pleased and hope to get some better blogs in very soon

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.
