My name is Oscar Dewhurst and I am a 15-year-old wildlife photographer living in London. I have been a birdwatcher since 2005, taking up digiscoping in 2006. In March 2008, I finally took the plunge and bought a Nikon D60 and Sigma 50-500mm f4-6.3 lens. Although a great camera, I wanted a faster frame rate, and better ISO capabilities, as well as the video, so bought a Nikon D300s in September 2009 just before my sfari trip to South Africa. I reached the finals in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition in 2009, and am hoping to improve this year!
As I live in London, there are limited areas which are good for wildlife, but I regularly visit the London Wetland Centre, as well as Richmond Park. I now spend as much of my spare time as I can photographig wildlife.
Welcome!
You'd be surprised how many opportunities you have in London for wildlife and bird photography. When I visit I always take the remains of my breakfast to St James Park for the birds, amazing variety of ducks and a great area to photograph... And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Look forward to seeing some of your images!!
