Just wanted to say hello, just joined as a a new member.
My name's Mike Dinsdale. I'm in West Sussex.
Amatuer photographer who loves wildlfe, particularly Birds of Prey, British mammals and big cats and enjoys combining the two.

The are some amazing shots on here. Hoping to get up to near your standards, eventually!

Never posted images for C&C before, so please be gentle!

Kind regards

Mike

Hi Mike .
I am sure you will enjoy this forum.
You'll get some good advice I am sure.
MY advice is - don't take your photography too seriously ! - it will then become a chore !! :frown:
Cheers

Welcome from a fellow West-Sussexian. Don't worry about posting images, c&c is the best way to progress and everyone is quite polite.

Thanks for the responses.
Currently, most of my wildlife images are taken in controlled enviroments, (Why aren't there 4 days in a weekend?). Are they still OK to post, providing I put a comment or something in to highlight that?

Thanks

Mike

Hi Mike,

As far as I'm aware captive or controlled is fine! Just put (c) in the title to indicate that it was shot in controlled or a captive set-up!
