    All settings change with different light conditions, also most DSLR’s have an exposure compensation button/setting so you can over or under expose as you feel... Normally if you were to shoot birds in flight, you would over expose as the camera would meter for the sky and not the bird as the sky is brighter and bigger than the subject resulting in a silhouette of a bird or very underexposed without any details... Understanding settings, exposure and use of light can create some amazing and creative images and will open up a whole new world of what can be achieved. Have a google

    Ah thanks Arry pal, very kind. It’s just a passion and hobby, I’ve had people use my images for reference for drawings/paintings, BBC Winterwatch have used some and National History Society Northumbria use quite a few but for now the building sites pay very well and my weekend/evening photography is my escape.

    Thanks a lot pal, he’s a wild Kestrel but very tolerant of us, been feeding him on and off for 4 years with live mealworms... He comes down for them and will happily sit 6’ away unphased.

    Thanks mate, if you look on my page https://www.flickr.com/photos/94724826@N08/ I’ve taken, Roe, Stags, mountain hare, brown hare, red squirrels, I’ve no idea where to go for fox and never even seen a badger except road kill... Setting vary but shoot in aperture priority anywhere between f4 -f7.1

    I’m far too antisocial mate, got few but close friends and not one for groups of people, also I wouldn’t want such a massive responsibility for such a special occasion, I’m right at home with tranquility, nature and the wildlife. i would happily stay on the sites, my wife has a highly paid job which she been in for 30 year but with Scottish laws and systems being different to England it complicates things for her getting a the same role or similar position.

    To be fair, we looked into selling up and moving to follow a passion and dreams but sadly its just not a viable option at the moment but only got 5 years left in the mortgage so you never know.

    I know a few people that do it mate, not much profit to be made by time you pay for prints, framing sleeve etc... My dream would be to do wildlife photography guiding in the Cairngorms and highlands but unfortunately not in the financial position to move and set up.

    Thanks very much Martin pal ?

    All depends really but both the above were taken using the car as a hide and my camera out the window, about 4 or 5 meters for the barnie and roughly 7 meters for the shortie ?

    Thanks Arry pal... Very few sites where Hods are still allowed mate, now it’s a bucket for muck and brick clamps/tongs, clamp in each hand with 6 bricks in each.

    Very kind of you to say so mate but there’s always room for improvement, it’s such a competitive industry/hobby and there are far superior to myself.
  23. zandy01
    If only mate and I was good enough - be a dream job but it’s just a hobby mate, work as a hoddy with 2 brickies on the sites...
