AMATEUR BIRD
PHOTOGRAPHERS - IF YOU'VE GOT YOUR OWN WEBSITE, I'D LOVE TO SWAP
LINKS! (See my links page for more info).
My next Amateur Bird Photographer Interview No.4 will be
Neil Khandke - We're going to do a hands-on, simple assessment
of the Canon EOS 40D DSLR - There will be NO techno talk..no
histograms or levels!!
Introduction
Although I'm quite enthusiastic, there is a serious side to my
character. Conservation is important to me.
I pass on my work to conservation bodies, but ask
for a £10.00 cheque (per image used) , made out to 'The Wildlife
Trust for Northamptonshire' to be given in return. If no paid
designers or printers are involved, I will give certain
images free of charge.
