Wildlife Photography across the Water: wet wet wet

wet wet wet

The weather has been against me for a couple of days although yesterday evening was not too bad but i was out late and it was too late to grab the cameras when i got back, Today we woke to rain and its been wet all day so just unpacking and getting the electrician back out for another fault, The good news is that last night we had 4 female deer in the garden along with a fox and an opossum which was really great to watch through the window, I had a flood light out and they did not seem to mind at all, The birds have found the feeders and we have had a lot of chickadee, Tufted titmouse and cardinals on the feeders, I am not surprised as a cold spell will always make them look for food, We also had one of Martins favorites on the feeder-a grey squirrel so all in all the wildlife situation is looking good even though it will mean mainly night time shooting for the mammals, We have a nice area underneath the screened porch that i will turn into a blind and it will be a nice all year shooting place as it was be completely dry for the wet and wintery days and cool for the summer, We have had a couple of long days unpacking and i would think by the end of the week it will be all over and the cameras will be out on a daily basis-cant wait

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.
