    Default The Monkey Has Landed

    Howdy,

    Long time reader of the forums, first time poster.

    Been a Canon shooter since 2007. I say a Canon Shooter, but certainly not a Canon Snob, heck I've evern been known to welcome those poor lost Nikon souls into my home for a cup of tea ;) Favourite areas of photography are wildlife, landscape and sports. When I'm not shooting fast moving wildlife I seem to be moving fast moving Premiership Footballers. To be honest as subjects I think I prefer the birds :) I try as much as possible to avoid saying yes to what seems a long list of friends who would like me to shoot their wedding / baby / dog.

    Weapons of choice are the Canon 1DX (oh man, even almost a year in and I still get goosebumps with the IOS / AF performance) and the Canon 1D MK IV. Started with a 350D and then onto a 7D. You can read more about gear (if that floats your boat) here.

    Favourite birds to shoot include the Kingfisher and the Northern Gannet.

    Favourite bird related shot to date - White Tailed Sea Eagle on the Island of Mull (which by the way happens to be my favourite place on earth). I've included this below.

    So that's about it - a bit more about me along with Blog and Project related items can be found over on my website. If you rather look at pictures than words then my portfolio can be found here.

    cheers,

    Nigel

    Hi Nigel and welcome to BPN. I think I would enjoy shooting sports myself and did a little of that in high school with at the football games. It was definitely exciting for me to get the action at the perfect moment. I find nature and wildlife photography brings the same kind of excitement and at the same time provides such a great sense of peace and appreciation for life for me. I encourage you to share your images, ideas and comments with us as we can all learn something from each other. Great action shot BTW
