    Tony
    I am a Brit and I now live in Hartbeespoort after a spell in Hoedspruit and Jo'burg. I am a keen beginner in both photography and as a birder/wildlife enthusiast, love the bush with a passion. Recently qualified (2009) as a FGASA guide (Field Guide Association South Africa)
    Hope to make many friend here and maybe for those in SA meet up and discuss our passion over a cold one, one day.

    Regards

    Tony

    Welcome to BPN, Tony. Feel free to start posting in the regular critique forums or, if you want more of a "learning" experience and gentler critiques at first, start off in our Eager to Learn forum. You can post any type of nature photograph there and we try to help answer all of your questions as you grow in your craft.

    Look forward to seeing your posts and congrats on becoming a field guide!

    Hi Tony,

    I am another ex Brit, that moved here for a better and quieter lifestyle, but really for the Wildlife. Look forward to seeing some images.
