Hello from Derbyshire

I only found out about this site yesterday and I am very impressed.

I live in Derbyshire and my interests are Digital Photography and Wildlife, those local to me may see me wandering around Attenborough Nature Reserve and Carsington Water two of my favourite haunts.

regards

Digi

Re: Hello from Derbyshire

Good morning and welcome Digi. I count the Peak District generally as one of my favourite places. Can well remember making my way up behind Matlock railway station one Sat. morning and then sitting on the wall overlooking the quarry and across the town. It was so peaceful with lovely views and birdlife around us - so very different from the hustle and bustle of work we used to experience during the rest of the week. Magic!

Hi digi, I've already commented on some of your excellent shots you've posted so far, Love to see more!

If you look at mine you'll also see that Attenborough is my favourite site as well.. I go 2-3 times a week, so we've probably passed each other many times.

Re: Hello from Derbyshire

Hi Digi,

Cheers for the compliments about the site. It's thanks to all our visitors and members who help to build the pages that make it look so impressive.

It's great to see that you're straight into adding and editing info in the reference section, posting in the forums and submitting photos in the gallery - that's exactly what the site's all about and you're now part of the Wild About Britain family

Cheers

Stuart

I am really going to have to visit Attenborough, it sounds really good & the images from you chaps that visit it are stunning.

Whats it like for Dragonflies?

Might be a good opportunity for some of us to actually meet each other

Re: Hello from Derbyshire

Hey Digi, I've just been checking out your bird photos, what can I say - absolutely fantastic.

Welcome aboard & keep those crackin' images coming.

There is a butterfly area and you get plenty of dragonflies along the Trent. They are too fast moving for me.

It would be a good place for some of us to meet up.

I know what you mean, they can be difficult at times, I've been photographing Dragonflies for years & you do get the knack, but they are still a highly frustrating subject at times.

I am hopeless at bird photography, just can't seem to crack it so I stick to insects.
Thats whats so brilliant about the WAB gallerys, loads of great photographers, specialising in different aspects of wildlife photography sharing images & advice with others.

Since my other hobby is photographing fast jets you would think I would be able to capture a Dragonfly but they always go the opposite way for me.

All I can say is keep trying because if your Dragonfly images are as good as your bird photos they will be brilliant.

You can maximise your chances by targeting certain species of Dragonfly as some follow regular flight paths or even hover, it's still not easy, but it helps.
