Sometimes the image you see isnt there

A few weeks ago we Jac and I went to Westonbirt Arboretum, there were two shots I had in my head that I wanted to get based on my expectations of the likely weather conditions.

Well I was pleased to share this with you that was one of those shots.

But enough of that.

The other shot I wanted to get was overlooking the village of Chipping Campden, with layers of mists and fog in the rolling valleys into the sunrise.

Well all those elements are the picture, but they haven't come together in the way I had envisaged, in a cohesive composition.

So it is back to the drawing board, I will have another scout around, this time with camera and different lenses. I think want I want is there somewhere, and quite nearby.

Anyway, as you can see the weather conditions were perfect for me, but that is only one part of the story. Till next time

Apart from that, I had a cracking day today, despite the cold/cough being a real pain. We had a family outing to see Gloucester v Leicester Tigers in the Rugby Premier League. It has been few years since I last went to a game, and what a great atmosphere it was.

Have a good weekend

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.
