Falconry days
:Previous: :Main: :Next:
Well, the annual UK photography fest that is Focus is nearly over for another year. Once again, many visitors complained about the lack of a Canon stand, especially as it meant they couldn't get their hands on the new 1D Mark III. That said, it didn't seem to matter much as all the retailers I spoke to had taken quite a few orders for it already...even without people being able to see it!
Personally it was a good show. I made quite a few new contacts and there are some very interesting business opportunities lining up. Combined with other ventures I have going on, it should be a big year.
On the subject of other ventures, there are still spaces available for the Falconry Day I am running for Andy Rouse on the 11th March - only a week or two away. If you want to come along and get close to vultures, owls and eagles, all under the expert control of Geoff our falconer, then hop along to Andy's site and book up. There are only a few places left, so you'll want to be quick. While you're there, check out the other courses we've got lined up as the year progresses.
In the meantime, here's an image from my last trip to the falconry centre. One of the things I like to push on these days is to get down low to the level of the animal you're photographing. So many people stand at their height and shoot down on wildlife. It never makes for a successful image. You need to be at their eye-level to really add impact to the shot.
