Dear Friends -my apologies I did not get a June 1 newsletter out as usual due to other commitments. However, I am glad to announce there are four new articles that might interest you. Two articles are by world-renowned writer and photographer, Dr. Wayne Lynch, including everyone's favourite subject - snakes. He also has another article about photographing eagles in Bella Coola. Dave Lilly contributed his 13th article, this one on the White-faced Ibis photographed south of Calgary at Frank Lake. I wrote a short review about Wayne Lynch's new ebook - Canadian Rockies Wildlife Photography now available for only $9.99 at Amazon.
There will not be a newsletter in July or August because I am working on redesigning the Canadian Nature photographer over the summer and hope to launch the new site in September or October at the latest. It will feature larger pictures and be responsive so it fits smart phones and tablets.

Photographing the White-faced Ibis by David Lilly
A few years ago it was very difficult to photograph the White-faced Ibis in Alberta. Their numbers were low and they were difficult to approach. Fast forward to 2015 and now it is completely different. The White-faced Ibis now returns in the spring in large numbers to Frank Lake in Southern Alberta - read about the White-faced Ibis. |

Bella Coola Eagles by Dr. Wayne Lynch Twenty-five years ago most professional wildlife photographers were like me shooting with Fujchrome Velvia film (ISO 50 with terrible shadow details) and struggling to capture flying birds without the benefit of predictive autofocus that was still years away. In those days the best bald eagle photos I had were of birds perched in uninteresting static poses - read more. |
