Minor Rebrand

James Bylett June 19th, 2008

Anybody who’s visited before may notice a minor change on the header to the site as I’ve decided to re-describe myself. Up to now I’ve described the site as ‘Wildlife and Scenery Photography’ as that was the primary content of the site when I first built it, however I’ve decided to ammend that slightly for a couple of reasons. Firstly, although I have a number of landscape photos in the galleries and am a big fan of great scenery, landscape photography is not my specialty and has always been a secondary focus for me, I have always been primarily interested in animals and feel I have much more of an affinity with that side of photography, I have generally just taken landscapes as and when the opportunity presented itself along the course of what I was already doing. Secondly, I have in recent months found myself doing more and more photography revolving around somewhat less wild animals and enjoy this almost as much as photographing wildlife, so since that seem to be an equal focus of my photography these days, I have made the decision to rebrand myself as a ‘Wildlife and Pet’ photographer. Obviously that doesn’t mean I’ll stop taking landscapes and all manner of other photos as well, but does mean the website description will be a little more accurate to it’s primary content :-)

Bengals Gallery

James Bylett June 17th, 2008

Quite a fun weekend I’ve had, one of the highlight of which was visiting Carol and Andrew Hebden of Eriador Cats in Spalding to take photos of some of their beautiful Bengal cats and kittens, a selection of the better photos from the day (i.e. the ones where I managed to get a clear shot in spite of the moggies’ constant fidgeting!) are now online in the galleries area

Photos for sale

James Bylett June 16th, 2008

A small selection of my photos are now available to buy as a royalty free non commercial usage collection from I Need That, currently the only collection available is a british wildlife one which includes photos taken at the British Wildlife Centre in Surrey as well as assorted wildlife photos from my local area (all of which can also be viewed on my site).  More are likely to be available to buy when I get round to collating a few more selections, later in the summer I have a couple of phtoography workshops lined up which I am anticipating getting some nice results from so watch this space over the next couple of months for further updates

New Galleries

James Bylett June 1st, 2008

Couple of new galleries online, finally got a gallery sorted out for some photos that were taken for us at an Aikido course by Sue of Fen Photos which she has kindly made available for me to put online for the club and also a handful of photos from my recent visit to Whipsnade Zoo, photos largely hampered by virtue of the fact that I was there just as a normal member of the public and not part of any photography workshop but a few of the animal’s enclosures still allowed me to take some reasonable photos
