J Bespoy's photostream

Photography for me has been a growing passion since January 2007. To be able to capture beautiful moments in life and share them is very special. I like to take pictures of things I find beautiful; my cats, wildlife, birds, nature, etc. My photos are environmental documentary with only basic cropping and colour/contrast/sharpness adjustments, etc. Maybe someday I'll learn more about photoshop but for now that's the extent of my editing skills! My goal with photography is to try to record the natural beauty that is all around us and share it with others. I am very lucky to live in British Columbia, Canada which has a never-ending supply of beautiful, varied subject matter!

Flickr is an amazing place. I have met many wonderful people from all other world and I'm privileged to be able to see their amazing photography. I gain a great deal of inspiration and education from the photos I see and I’m grateful to have access to the work of so many fabulous photographers. I’m also very lucky to have made a number of good friends here who all mean a great deal to me!

Tailer's Family - journeying! says:

"Jeannie, you have been a Friend of mine for quite a long time and I am especially grateful for your input and very obviously taking time to read what I put underneath each of my photographs.

As to your quality of photography, you come over to me in your excellence, as someone who really enjoys their work and I am so grateful that you wish to share it with us.

May our Friendship long continue. Thank you so much."

Karen 818 says:

"Jeannie takes the most amazing wildlife shots that I have ever seen anywhere ( I do art shows with "artists" that could learn a lot from her). The only problem with her pictures is that I run out of adjectives to describe them. She is so talented and leaves the nicest comments. Thanks for being my contact!!!!"

"Jeannie is one of the best animal photographers on flickr...she not only captures them in unique situations but with a sharpness and detail that few can pull off....love your stream!"

Masakazu Ikeguchi says:

"I feel a lot of affection in her cat and animal photographs.
The wild animals in beautiful scenery. but they are not just
beautiful, I feel the life of the animals living there
from her works. It's really meaningful to me.
I'm looking forward to her pic from now, too."

fastcat! says:

"It is always a joy to visit Jeannie's photostream. Whether it is photos of her beloved kitties, Toonces and Survasa or of the birds and animals of Canada, her work is stunning and her wonderful sense of humour shines through in the titles she selects for her shots. I am so happy to have met her through flickr and count her as a good friend."

Davlyn Photography ® says:

"Jeannie, it is nice to have you around with us. You have taken wonderful shots of wildlife, I am very glad that you upload your photos to flickr and share it with us. If not, we will miss out the best part of life. You have control your ISO, Aperture and shutter speed very well. Well done! Keep up the good work. We are looking forward to more of your works."

~Doug~ says:

"January 2007 was a fortunate time for all of us here, because Jeannie started her passion for photography. That is not a lot of time, so it is clear to see that it was already in her to compose such inspiring images.
It's ironic that in that time, we probably crossed paths, but never realized it.
Meeting her and Chris was quite auspicious, and it will be fun to share locations and photos on flickr.
Jeannie gets right into the camera, and captures the best of the shot. that is there."

"Lo primero que te cautiva de Jeannie son sus fotos, muy buenas y ese cariño que transmite a través de ellas. Con sus comentarios y detalles la sientes cercana. Toonces, Survasa y Jeannie se convierten en amigos entrañables a pesar de la distancia. Me gusta ser su amiga."

"Jeannie is a doll. After joining the admin team of our beloved group -- Kitty Crown -- I've really grown an admiration for Jeannie and all she does for Flickr and her Flickr friends. She's always been so encouraging and supportive. Her love for her two precious felines Survasa and Toonces, is not only evident by her beautiful photos of them, but in all she does.

I'm honored to have Jeannie as a friend, and no matter what, I will always be here for you!! I'm only a mouse click away.. Thank you for everything Jeannie.."

speakeasy(X) says:

"Jeannie takes great photos of pretty much anything she points the camera at. She's particularly adept at cat photos, which may seem a little passé, but is actually quite an art, in and of itself.

She also happens to be a good person whom I've enjoyed talking to via FlickrMail quite often. Always a good ear and a sounding board, I enjoy having made a friend of her through our mutual fascination with the photogenic quality cats possess.

She's also a Nikon owner, which I have to say I'm partial to!

She's learning quite fast on her DSLR and I fully expect her to be a real inspiration as she continues to learn."
