Wildlife Photography

I live in South Wales in the U.K and have had an interest in wildlife since a young age. I began photographing birds in 1980 but couldn`t get the clear and sharp results I desired with the equipment I had, and eventually gave up and concentrated more on bird identification and birding.
Then with the arrival of digital cameras and quality lenses I once again took up photography and have been fortunate to travel the world phographing birds and animals, always seeking that special shot.

I am constantly updating the pages so please return to browse.

About me


Steve Hinton



There is probably no more challenging subject for cameras than wildlife. This is why it is so universally popular. Whether it is digital or film, polar bears or flycatchers, the quest for the perfect shot is endless. It is not like photographing a building, wedding or landscape where the subject matter is more obliging or pliable. The quarry is invariably erratic, endangered and elusive. 

However the pursuit of this precious image is what makes it such fun, so rewarding. It should not be in a competitive way; sadly some rapacious photographers seem to leave their code of ethics at home, if they ever had any, even some well known professionals care little for the precarious nature of their environment. The image should never take preference over the situation.
