About Me
- Mike Attwood
- Evacuated during the second world war to a village in Yorkshire where I lived in the home of a good photographer for more than five years who taught me the basics and a great deal about nature. Well past retirement age I have been a wildlife photographer for more than 30 years. Red Kites have been my speciality for much of this period. I did spend several years snapping wheelchair athletes and organizing the British Road Race Championship. In the year 2000 I was awarded a distinction by the Royal Photographic Society for my portfolio on wheelchair athletes. Most of my pics are digital, using Sony cameras and Sigma lenses. I used to spend many weeks each year with friends in Wales which is close to the Elan Valleys where I got many of my raptor pics. I now get these pictures more closely to home, specially red kites and peregrines. I support my pension by selling my pics, cards, coasters, fridge magnets and key rings etc. at craft fairs, something I wish I had done much earlier in life. I give illustrated talks to clubs and societies on wildlife and other branches of photography that I have been involved in.
Awesome. You Are so lucky to have these fantastic animals visiting you.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is, my three favourite British animals and they all visit my garden, hedgehog, fox and badger. With three bird species nesting also who cares about lockdown.
DeleteStay clean. Mike.
Que divertidas son las cámaras trampa, dan mucho juego. Hace unos días pude grabar a una pareja de Meles meles en plena cópula, todo un espectáculo. Preciosas tus fotos, enhorabuena Mike. Un fuerte abrazo desde España, salud!!!
