Brian Rafferty's photostream
|
I am based in Preston. Lancashire. This central location enables me to travel easily to a wide variety of habitats in the North of England. I tend these days not to travel very far as I find that there is plenty to see not very far from home.
On my own doorstep are a wonderful variety of habitats - natural woodlands, open fells and hill country, unspoilt river valleys and I have easy access to the delights of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks. As you will see from my bird images much time is spent at the wonderful coastal sites forming part of Morecambe Bay and the Ribble Estuary e.g. Marshside and Leighton Moss.
In recent years Digital Photography has taken over from Video and as time has moved on I have acquired more and more equipment - as you do!!
I use Nikon Camera Equipment and currently use a Nikon D200 for general work and a D300 specifically for bird photography. The D300m is usually coupled to a 500mm F4 lens which has dramatically changed the quality of images that I am now able to obtain.
I am enjoying being able to post images on Flickr and share the rewards of our wonderful interests with the rest of the world!!!
Brian Rafferty.

Pete4pics (Time out I'm afraid) says:
"I've never thought I'd write a testimonial for anyone on Flickr but it suddenly dawned on me that I really should do one for Brian and his contributions to Wildlife Photography. I haven't know him all that long but soon came to realise he really does take some exceptionally excellent photographs in fact most - if indeed not all - of his work is exceptional. I sometimes feel something like doing a testimonial for someone can come across as rather patronising but can assure him this is certainly not the case in my writing this for him. As the saying goes......keep up the good work Brian as I'm quite sure your admirers are many."
