Photography Where's everyone based?

[matttrevillion]

Hi All, just interested to see where everyone is based!

I'm based in Braintree in Essex, if you need any ideas of wildlife photography around Essex or East Anglia let me know as I might be able to help!

Hello @matttrevillion

I'm based in North Yorkshire at the moment. I've been only once in Essex to capture some landscape pictures.

You can check an other forum explorness.com

For landscape photographers.

Are there a lot of places for wildlife?

Unfortunately no, I'm on the Cambridgeshire border so I can get to North Norfolk or Minsmere in a couple of hours or so.

Hatfield Forest is good for wild deer and forest birds near me, Rye Meads & Amwell are just over the border in Herts so good for birdlife, Fingringhoe is good for waders and Rainham Marshes is a good spot too for birds. Not much for landscapers I'm afraid except round the coast so Mersea Island and up.

Hi I am based in Melton Mowbray Leicestershire, just 15miles away from Rutland Water which is great for bird Photography.
I took this Black Headed Gull (winter plumage) a couple of weeks back. Quite happy with the reflection.

That's nice. My biggest lens I own at the moment is 70-300 L. Planning to save some cash and maybe getting 100-400mm. I heard is good lens.

I used to have the Sigma 150-600 Sport, great lens but very heavy.

I heard about sigma too. But I prefer brand lenses over third party. Feeling a bit more safe, in terms of quality.

Thanks mattrevillion, although it's not really lucky as this is where I wanted to live ever since I first visited many years ago, and I worked long and hard to make that dream happen.
