Wow! Before you take another single nature photograph, watch Wildlife Photography Master Class! Chris Gomersall and David Tipling are photographic masters who share their decades of experience in this incredible new DVD. I only wish I'd had this DVD and all its excellent content, tips, and techniques years ago, before I started taking wildlife photographs. Imagine all the needless frustration I could have avoided! This DVD will set you on the path to taking the wildlife photos you've always dreamt of taking!

Go Wild with your Camera
November 2007
This month sees the release of a fantastic new educational DVD "Go Wild with your Camera" in which I appear as a co-presenter together with fellow professional wildlife photographers Peter Cairns and Mark Hamblin. With more than two and a half hours of video content, and dealing with subjects as diverse as birds, mammals, amphibians, invertebrates and landscapes, this makes a very comprehensive tutorial for the aspiring wildlife photographer. All of the case studies feature native British species photographed in the wild, and there are additional special features such as a Jargon Buster and a Pixel to Print section to help you through the basics of digital photography. This two DVD set is filmed and produced by Andy Langley of Go Wild TV, and retails at £19.95 plus P&P. You can learn more, view a trailer, and order your copy now from Go Wild TV.
Top awards!
October 2007
I am thrilled to have been selected as the overall winner in the GDT's European Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition for 2007. My photograph titled "Fluidity" of a knot roost at RSPB's Snettisham reserve in Norfolk was chosen from nearly 9000 photographs by 573 photographers from 26 European countries. Results were announced at the International Nature Photography Festival in Lünen, Germany, on Saturday 27th October and I was very happy to attend to collect this prestigious award in person. More information and a gallery of all the winning photographs can be found here.

I am proud to have acted as art editor and photographer-in-chief on this exciting new book by Mark Cocker. Published by Chatto & Windus of London in September 2005, this comprehensive publication is a long-awaited, worthy stablemate to Richard Mabey’s “Flora Britannica.” The book explores how birds have penetrated British culture, with examples from literature and the arts, folklore, traditions and our everyday lives. A staggering 27,000 copies were sold in the first month of publication! Available now, for £35 or less.
A sample of new photographs shot specially for this project can be seen here.
The book's photographs are amazing - the picture of an eider resting in a bubbling surf is worth the cover price alone. (Daily Express)
The great delight of my year; the book that made me feel I'd waiting for it all my life, is the magnificently produced and completely enthralling Birds Britannica. (Andrew Motion, in The Guardian)
