Professor Thomas Hanahoe Royal Photographic Society Statement of Intent ARPS Nature Panel 20 September 2007 My intent has been to improve my photographic skills by attaining the standard required for award of the Society's Associateship Distinction. I have endeavoured to obtain this objective by photographing birds and in presenting this Nature Panel, I aim to depict a variety of British birds such as waterfowl, waders, songbirds, and birds of prey. I have attempted to capture the birds in flight, displaying behaviours typical of their species, or as portraits in natural habitats. I obtained the photographs between February and July 2007 in a variety of weather conditions and in each instance the bird was wild and free.
