WILDLIFE & LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY

Well what a start to the year; so much snow! Ii will certainly be in everyone's memory for both good and bad reasons I expect. Over New Year I was in the Lake District and it was great seeing the snow capped hills - it was like being at a Swiss ski resort.

During January I was able to get out into the Yorkshire dales trying out a new wide angle lens with some landscape photography. This area of photography has taken a greater focus in recent months - mainly due to demand from buyers but also to accommodate personal needs of doing less travel at the minute and thus finding time to look at other forms of photography. Over Christmas though I upgraded my camera and this should give greater opportunities for both wildlife and landscape photography, and therefore I am looking forward to the coming year with great anticipation.

Another milestone is the website is now one year old! Thanks for everyone's support over the last year and I am already planning further ahead with lots of dates already in the diary for 2010 - with more to follow and am looking forward to seeing old and new faces.

2009 was quite tough for many people in terms of the recession and I am sure this will be similar for many people in 2010, but I do believe their is an optimism in the air as people make new starts and seek new opportunities.

One last thought if anyone has knowledge of any good photographic locations for either wildlife or landscapes - which includes common species such as fox and robins do let me know - as I am making plans for my photographic subjects for the year other next few weeks. Another option is to join the Facebook group (see link page) and post the info their too.

This year will also see the introduction of some limited edition photographs which I hope you will enjoy.

Have a great year and I will be writing again in the Spring.
