I've been interested in natural history, particularly birds, since I was a young boy. After many years birding, which started in North Wales where I grew up, I developed a passion for photography. That passion is still burning bright approximately 5 years later. These days I would class myself as a casual weekend photographer in the attempt to juggle work, family and friends. For me, natural history photography is a way to step aside from the stresses of everyday life. My main photographic targets are birds and insects and I like to capture subjects in detail but also in the context of their habitat and behaviour.
My current kit bag includes:
- Canon 7D;
- Canon 300mm F2.8 L IS;
- Canon 100mm F2.8 L IS (new as of March 2011);
- Canon 1.4x and 2x converters;
- Gitzo GT3530LS Carbon Fibre Tripod (new as of September 2011);
- Epson P-3000 Image Viewer;
- Lots of compact flash cards; and
- Tamron Expedition 8x rucksack to fit it all in!
- Canon Pixma iP4700 printer
All my images are available for use and purchase, in JPEG or TIFF Formats; at resolutions allowing excellent quality A3 and A4 prints. The vast majority are also available in original RAW format, if required. As a strong advocate of conservation, I am happy to provide images to charities and trusts for no charge.
