David Tomlinson Photographs

Birds, Insects and General Subjects

I set up this website to show my pictures.   I am proud of them, but I do not suggest that they are particularly good.   Some of them are respectable, but they all represent memories and a sense of achievement.   I am learning and, I hope, improving, and the range of species increases all the time.   The goal is to get better pictures of more species, and goals are good for the psyche.   If these pictures give you a bit of pleasure, then I have achieved something useful and, if you feel like letting me know by e-mail, then I will be pleased.   Constructive criticism is even more welcome.   So please take a look.

The construction of this site is simple.   The links to the right will take you to generic categories of photographs and if you hover your mouse over the titles, you will see supplementary information.   You might want to look at the SHOWCASE first.   This represents my selection of the best pictures on the site, based on photographic qualities, rather than rarity of species.   Each thumbnail opens a larger version of the same image.

In the WILDLIFE GALLERIES you can use thumbnails to select individual species from family groups.   The birds, butterflies and moths pages are sub-divided into families.   There are over 170 species of moth imaged on this site, so there is a checklist to make it easier to find out whether a particular species is depicted.

The OTHER IMAGES are just some that I like and could not resist adding.   In all cases, clicking thumbnails will bring up larger pictures in either a new tab or a new page, depending on how you work your browser.

Each image is annotated to give the camera/lens combination used.   For details of cameras and lenses, and image processing/editing, see METHODS, LINKS to the right.
