Wildlife Photography across the Water: The Whaling continues

The Whaling continues

Not in Japan but on the forums, Lots and lots of very disappointed people and half i am sure that would have never bought the 5D3 even if it was over 30mp, Canon also announced some accessories for the 5D3 in the shape of a new battery grip and a new top of the line flashgun which sounds really cool as it uses radio as opposed to line of sight which is about time and wish that Nikon would do it, The thing that kills it is like all new Canon products at the moment-The Price,$630 and another $470 for the transmitter, I think although it looks good that i would be inclined to just use pocket wizards on a EX580, The ST-E3 does look good in the fact that you can have 5 groups but for me the new Canon gear is just way over priced

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.
