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.
Time to take it down personally and really get to know each other, Mike!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice David but at my age I have to ration my energies.

Hello Mike :=)
ReplyDeletePedro has gone out with a friend of his and I am taking this opportunity to visit some blog friends. That's a lovely photo Mike, and I'm so glad Dad fox is still showing up for his supper.
Stay Well and Take Care.

Sorry for the delay Sonjia but I have had a couple of down days with a terrible cough. Better now. Dad fox is a real friend. he has a selection of dog biscuits and he has a preference to particular brands. One is cross shaped and he left one in the middle of the grass by its self and it looked just like he had blown me a kiss as a thankyou. Take care.
