By the way

 

The birds on my having disappeared has left me with not a lot to do so my infra-red cameras came in to play, but now my garden animals have gone and I am at a loss. I always carry a camera in the car and the other day returning from a shopping trip in the next village we stopped in a quiet lane and to our surprise we were being observed. Only a matter of metres away stood a fallow doe. She made no attempt to run and stood watching us in the car.

      Hi Frank,
      I get a lot of response from the animals which always amazes me. Sometimes I think that I am recognised as a fellow creature. Stay safe. Mike.

      Hi Lasse,
      I never go anywhere without a camera especially shopping. Most of my good pictures I have taken by chance. Stay safe.
      Mike.

About Me

My photo
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.
