Wildlife Photography






I was invited out on Saturday to do a bit of wildlife photography in Northumberland and along with a couple of experts, we headed down the coast from Bamburgh Castle to see what birds had flown in. As this was a first for me in this genre of photography, I did not have the right lenses for the distances we were shooting from and even my f2.8 70-200mm with a 1.4x converter was inadequate for the task. However, I captured a few wider views of some lapwing and golden plover whilst at a hide in Cresswell. A black-headed gull presented itself and I couldn’t resist the shot. It’s not exactly a rare bird but it filled the frame and I now have another photo to add to my stock library. If you want to see a proper UK wildlife photographers website, visit Andy Rouse's site.
