It seems this year we are set for an early autumn as well as a late, come to think of it, nigh on non-existent summer.

One of the early signs of autumn for me is the growing gatherings of swallows, not to mention swifts and martins, into larger congregations as they make the most of the late summer insects to feed up and prepare for winter and their...

Thanks to an uncooperative jet stream we look set to have the wettest July on record on top of the wettest June this year. With weather like this its really hard to motivate yourself and get out with the camera, even though you know that interesting weather can make for interesting photographs.

I am using this blog article to announce that we will be changing the name of this community from WildPhotoForum to NaturePhotoHub very soon. There, I've said it. I'm very glad to have got that off my chest.

Whilst I am very excited about our new name, this decision wasn't an easy one to make: I have very fond memories of launching this...

I've been an active participant in nature photography forums for quite some time now and for most of it, I've been on the staff in one role or another. It won't surprise you to know that the staff can develop quite a strong bond and that we like a good natter. One of the things that forum staff discuss time and time again is the standard of...

By day I'm a web developer for a company in Newbury using Microsoft development tools, by night I do a small amount of php development for the forum and a bit of photography!

We spent 10 years moving around the UK and over to the USA in response to our careers before deciding that it was time to settle somewhere we wanted to live. So we bought a place in Norfolk in...

Hi everyone,

Like the other staff I’ve been conscripted by John into attempting to write a blog article for WPF and, being married to him, have even less opportunity than the others to escape! My only experience of blogging is a photo of the month article on my new website and, despite loving the English language, I find...

I've had the privilege of meeting some of you in person but sadly, I will never get to meet you all face to face and nor will the other members of the WildPhotoForum staff. If we were to meet though, you might want to ask me "Who are you?" and "Why did you start WildPhotoForum?"...

My first experience of photography forums was as a...

Blogging is one of those things that I always thought I would be good at (I fancied myself as an author of novels even as young as the age of 7) but I have never quite managed to get to grips with. I had a go at blogging on my personal website as far back as 2008 but I always struggled to keep my blog up to date with interesting articles, despite my best...
