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.
Heartwarming images again, Mike. We didn't have any visitors last night, apart from cats! Take care and stay safe - - - Richard
ReplyDeleteHi Richard, I think I have something special with these two. They are around every night and they are just a couple out of 3 foxes and 4 hedgehogs. I look forward to their visit every night. Stay safe. Mike.
DeleteHow nice. Lovely clear images.
ReplyDeleteHi Marc, Thanks. It is fiddley to set up but well worth the effort. Stay safe. Mike.
DeleteQue buenos amigos parecen!!! Enhorabuena por las fotos Mike, un abrazo desde el norte de España.
ReplyDeleteHi German, Still cannot translate your messages. I know you mean well so I will say thankyou. Stay safe.
DeleteBest regards, Mike.
This does appear to be a very unusual friendship. I imagine each is using the other for a purpose?
ReplyDeleteI agree Phil, but nearly every night they meet and stay together no matter what is going on around them. Stay safe. Mike.
