About

Wildlife photography by Mike Lane FRPS I always say that I have four interests in life. Wildlife, photography, travel and computers. In today's digital age they all combine very well into one interest. In an ideal world I would spend all my time travelling and photographing wildlife and I managed to do this for about 25 years or so. I did not get rich, but managed to scrape a living taking and selling images of wildlife. Today economics force me to spend more time at home. My income now comes from online retailing of camera equipment rather than selling pictures. My bank account is richer, but I am time poorer. However, I still travel as much as possible and most days get to spend some hours in the countryside planning the next photograph.

On my local river I try my trusted method for photographing Kingfishers using the Om1 mk2 and the 150-400mm lens. There are a lot of small fish in the river this year, but for the Kingfisher they are difficult to reach as they have no place to perch and fish from. I provide a simple perch and sit and wait. 6 minutes later a Kingfisher arrives! Mike Lane wildlife photography https://www.nature-photography.co.uk/ Hide by https://www.buteophotogear.com
