Presentation to the Royal Photographic Society for the award of an Associateship Distinction in Nature: September 2007

Statement of Intent

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.
