The title makes my opinion clear, but there are several other issues surrounding the outcry this week about Elephants being included in a Circus Act in Nottinghamshire.

It's almost become a cliche, but 'Only Take Photos, Leave Only Footprints' is the mantra that anyone taking photos of wildlife should observe at all times.
The idea is that you do not damage the environment or the creatures that you are photographing. You take as much care as possible and realise that your photo is less important than what you are photographing.

All photos in the Galleries are available to buy. At present there are only limited options in terms of size and type, but these will be increasing over time, once I have solved issues like post/delivery for larger or fragile items.
For UK shoppers there is no charge for postage or packing, so the price you see is what you actually pay.
And there is no charge for looking at the photos and reading about them :-)
All Wildlife Photos in the Galleries are for sale as Prints, and postage is free for UK addresses.
I will also have a stall at these markets between now and Christmas.
As someone who is passionate about Wildlife and Wildlife Photographer, I'm well qualified to offer advice and guidance on Wildlife Photography and Photography in general.
So I'm adding a Q&A section to the Blog area soon, where I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Just email a question and I'll answer it in the blog, and let you know when it's posted.
It doesn't matter where you live, or if you want to but any of my wildlife photos or not, I'm happy to help by offering advice.
