STEVE RACE WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY
ABOUT ME
I first started to take an interest in wildlife at a very early age. My parents took me for walks and picnics in the countryside and even though they were not experts they helped me learn about the natural world around me. I started to take a particular interest in bird life, joined the YOC (Young Ornithologists Club) back in 1980 and what started out as a interest soon turned in to a passion.
It was my biology teacher from my old secondary school who helped me to get to the next level and introduced me to Wildlife Photography. In 1985 I bought my first SLR camera a Zenith E, this was obviously a film camera and I took some great pics (slides) with this camera.
I made the biggest cardinal sin ever and took some time off from photography before just recently finding my way back and reviving the passion I had back in the eighties. I have now entered the digital era of photography and I think it is an unbelievable transition that has evolved. The quality of the camera’s, lenses and what you can achieve now in post production is just endless, with the resulting image probably more superior than what I tried to create back in the early eighties.

I have just recently become a volunteer at RSPB Bempton Cliffs Reserve because I have a true passion for wildlife conservation and it was always some thing I wanted to do, but never had the time to do so. If you are thinking of visiting the reserve please do look me up and I will help regarding the best spots for photography, information on our star species and what has been seen around the local area.
My ultimate goal in life would be to have a career in Wildlife Conservation or may be one day become a professional wildlife photographer, well we all have to dream and who knows what is around the corner.
