BLOGThis is the Blog of Season Images which belongs to photographer Len Abrams, ARPS
The weekly UK Amateur Photographer Magazine published a set of my fox pup images in the 2 October 2010 edition. The images were the ‘Editor’s Choice’ for the edition.
The foxes were photographed over a two week period in April 2010 in woodlands not far from my home in the North Downs of Surrey. A set of the images can be seen in the Season Images Gallery – follow this link.
Read the Blog which describes how these images were taken.
I held my fist exhibition from 2 – 8 August 2010 at the Reigate Art Gallery and it was a great success. The exhibition attracted an attendance of about 30 people or groups each day, which was not at all bad given the slightly obscure location of the gallery.
The exhibition was of Limited Edition Photographic Prints in three themes: Continue reading “Reigate Art Gallery Exhibition a great success”
I would like to announce that the Royal Photographic Society (RPS) awarded me the distinction of Licentiateship on 25 May 2010. This is the first rung on the ladder of RPS recognition as a photographer. The award was made on the basis of a portfolio of images which I submitted for accreditation. The portfolio was a set of images of African markets taken over a couple of years of travel in southern Africa. The images capture some of the colour and vibrancy of African street life in Uganda, Mozambique and Malawi, as well as some of the poverty and hardship. The portfolio can be seen on the Royal Photographic Society web site and the Season Images African Travel Gallery.
In April a ‘skulk’ of four fox pups and their parents appeared in a den in woodlands not far from my home on the North Downs in Surrey. I came across them by accident on a walk with my Labrador pup – there in a field were a frolic of pups playing in the sun who scampered when they saw us but then could not resist peeking back at us. I took Toffee dog home and returned with my camera to start a series of watches which were each about 3 – 4 hours long – I did eight or nine watches over a period of 2 weeks and captured a great set of images. These images won the “Editor’s Choice” award in Amateur Photographer Magazine – see the Blog entry. Continue reading “A ‘skulk’ of fox pups – Putting in the time to capture wildlife images”
