| Re: What makes wildlife photography so special to you?
For me it's striving to take better pictures all the time. A slow process sometimes but an enjoyable one. It is the pleasure I get from being in close contact with the wildlife of the UK - which I find more exciting than the the thought of going on a safari.
Wildlife photography has brought a new dimension to my life as well because when I am out and about I now notice things that I never did before. I am more aware of the changing of the seasons and even notice things like patterns on leaves, bark and also fungi. These went unnoticed a few years ago.
It has also made me go out and look for wildlife and so I have seen things in the last few years that I never thought I would. These include red squirrels and puffins. I have really enjoyed taking pictures of them.
The UK has so much to offer those of us with an interest in its natural world and for me it is photography that has made me realise this. It is great to converse with you all - nice to be in the company of like-minded people. |
