Oliver Blum is Photographer of the Month for July

Every two years, Luminale takes place in and around Frankfurt during the light & building trade fair. Oliver Blum seems to have made it his mission to capture this festival of light.

Peter Heyes is Photographer of the month for November

If you are a regular viewer of UK photography, as I am, you often see the same locations appear time and time again. This is often due to the locations being close to the road.

Peter Heyes avoids the easy option of standing at the bottom of a mountain to take a picture of it, instead he climbs it in all weathers to produce images of amazing beauty.

by Peter Heyes

His website is full of fantastic images of the mountains of Britain and is well worth a look round for all the amazing images of these wild places.

Cheryl Surry is Photographer of the Month for October

Hardly a month goes by when I don't open one of the many UK photography magazines to find an informative article or stunning image by Cheryl Surry in it. Her stunning nature photography leaps from the page and it's difficult not to think "I wish I had taken that" when you see her beautiful and technically perfect images.

Her website is well worth a visit and if you do want to take shots like this she even runs very reasonably priced workshops in mid-Wales.

Seeing are Photographers of the Month for July

The Seeing Group are a group of 8 nature photographers from the South East of England who consistently produce the most outstanding Natural history images.



Quoting from the Seeing Group site:

This website has been set up to display wildlife and Nature images of Britain from a group of photographers who wish to put something back into the wildlife conservation efforts of our various charitable Trusts.

To achieve this, the photographs on this website are available Free of charge to registered charities and Organisations working in the spirit of Wildlife conservation and education for use in their media. All other use will be charged at commercial rates.
Great to see nature photographers respecting their subjects and giving back to the groups who look after them.
