 Hello and welcome

 

  I have always had a keen interest in wildlife and the great outdoors;

  I was an Angler for over 30 years but gave it up a few years ago to       

  concentrate on photographing wildlife. I  lived in Runcorn; Cheshire a

  short distance from the M56 that gave me great access to the Wirral,

  Northwales and Lancashire, with some great countryside on my doorstep

  I didn't have to travel too far in search of wildlife and photographic

  opportunities.

  Some of my wildlife photographs range from as far afield as Cuba,

  Antigua, Saint Martin, Saint Lucia, Dominican Republic,  Tuscany ,

  Corfu, Turkey, Spain, Portugal.

 

 

 

I now live in the Charente area of western France.

Photographing wildlife in the Charente

August 07, 2020

Being a wildlife photographer in the Charente can be difficult at times but the rewards can be very good if you can find places to go that it.

620A6124620A6124 My morning walks with my dog (Molly the Collie) usually produce something to photograph mammals, birds or insects.

 

620A6119620A6119 It all depends on the camera setup I take with me. Canon 100-400mm lens and 5dmk 4 or with a 7dmk2. My macro setup is a Canon 100mm 2.8 lens on a Canon m6mk2.
