During the course of 2011 I have been working hard to improve my technical abilities and understanding of the subjects I have been photographing, as ever things haven’t always go to plan!
Successful projects this year have included: Pearl Bordered Frilitary butterflies, Kingfishers and Dippers. 2011 has also been a great year for meeting new people, old friends and making new ones and during the course of this year I have been fortunate to meet Chris Packham and Paul Hobson all very talented Wildlife Photographers and as always I have been fortunate to receive great advice and friendship from Mark Sisson, winner of the BWPA 2011 Video category!
Well what about 2012? Over 2012 I plan on building up my portfolio further with a particular focus on birds of prey, mammals (including Badger, Deer and fox) and uploading more images to stock libraries, which until now has always seemed a daunting thought.
Note to self I really need to try and make more of what I have and to try and turn my hobby into something more!!
I have already supplied the Forestry Commission with images in 2011 to use for publicity purposes and this has given me an insight into what I need to do to sell more images. To promote my work and services further I have set up a new website and blog and will be using social media, Twitter and the like more over the coming months.

I will be sharing my experiences and thoughts via Twitter and this blog each month and I promise to keep them short, but packed with images! You can follow me on Twitter @WyreJason too.

 Kingfisher at rest…
