I took up photography a few years ago after retirement and I'm having a lot of fun trying to get better at the craft and improving my images. When I see the great photos and artwork on this site it's an inspiration to improve. Thanks to those who take the time to offer comments and any constructive criticism is appreciated.
All animals and birds I present here are wild and photographed in the wild.

Reading what you have to say about taking great wildlife photography, I was going to ask about patience. I guess that's a given. You may say you don't have what you would call a "great photo" but your works are astounding. I also love the photo you use for your "wallpaper" on this page. You see some really cool things....taking shots of animals I never could. (Where I live the animals are limited, and I can't drive. Not much of an excuse...)

I live in Northern Ontario Canada and we are naturally gifted in that we have lakes and forests and animals literally in our backyard. It's a great location for someone who likes to photograph animals and nature. Thank you for the comment and the compliment.

Well, after seeing your portfolio, I am now a believer in your work. I am blown away by your ability to get in a position to be able to take these photos in the wild. (is it possible to favor the entire album?!)
Dec 11th, 2011 ReplyI look forward to your upcoming artwork but I must warn you; you have already set a pretty high standard for nature photography!

Thank you for the kind words. I've had a quick look at your work and it's very impressive. Look forward to looking a little closer. I'm also a retired firefighter.

Thank you for the follow sir. A fellow retired pyro-pugilist too? Great to hear! Thanks for the look, but as you can see I have quite a ways to go before I can get photos anywhere near these. Half the fun is trying though.
