"The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?"
This quote from Sir David Attenborough perfectly sums up where I'm at with wildlife conservation. I am doing what I can to try to keep these iconic species alive, and the sad thing is that, at the rate we're going, many already have gone by the time we reach 2050!
Every fine art print sale results in a contribution (nominally 10% of the sale price) to conservation projects that I support (find out more on my website: www.ge.photography). If each of us makes a small contribution, we might, just might, be able to save these magnificent creatures so that future generations can enjoy them in their natural environment.

Modes and the Exposure Triangle - Revisited | Wildlife and adventure photography
Send us a textModes and the exposure triangle revisited:I spoke about this subject some time ago and I had a very positive reaction to it. So, I thought it was worth a revisit!If you don’t understand the exposure triangle, your results will be limited and it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to shoot the kind of photographs you would like to. I say this with some conviction as one of the most common questions I am asked is ‘How can I get a sharp subject and an out-of-focus background?’.Simply pu...

An introduction to Street Photography

Send us a text (www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1803730/open_sms) Have you ever tried street photography? If you haven't, but you're thinking about it, now is a good time to start. The primary reason for this is the frequent use of smartphones in the street. I'm sure you've had to avoid a few "phone zombies" in your time, and this makes it very easy to discretely take street photographs...

An introduction to Macro-photography
Просмотров 29Месяц назад
Send us a text (www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1803730/open_sms) Macro-photography can be very rewarding. Things to think about: 1. Magnification & Ratio How large the subject appears in the frame compared to its actual size. In macro photography, the subject is typically life-sized or larger. 2. Depth of Field (DOF) Using a small aperture like f/16 or f/22 can help increase DOF and ke...
How to add meaning and impact to your photographs

Send us a text (www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1803730/open_sms) This podcast was inspired by another podcast that I listen to (“The rest is history”) where they spoke about Lee Miller. This, in turn, was prompted by the 2023 movie starring Kate Winslet. Lee Miller was largely forgotten until her biography came out in the 1980’s (she died in 1977). She had a privileged upbringing and, ...

So what can you do to protect your camera in different environments? To protect my lenses, I do a couple of things: 1. Buy a good quality UV filter to protect the glass at the end of the lens.

How you can think like a wildlife photographer

Send us a text (www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1803730/open_sms) In my wildlife photography tips podcasts, I always recommend that people practice on birds. But why should they do that? Well, for one thing, most of us have access to these wild animals and they allow us to get to know our cameras. Photographing birds is also an opportunity to start thinking like a wildlife photographer:...

How do we define animal intelligence?
Wonderful to hear the voice of my old friend Sandra, speaking passionately about her love of primates x
Agree Susan 😊 xx
How fabulous to hear my old friend talking about her passion.
Interestingly enough, people assume Dolphins are intelligent. Some tried to have them designated "non-human persons". While they are intelligent relative to other animals, they score the same on intelligence tests as pigs, chickens, elephants, etc. Dolphins are not uniquely intelligent. They're clever, sure, but they're no more clever than your average pig.
