The first five editions of my free publications offer 100 wildlife photography tips and promote Wikipedia. The Read online links take you to a flipbook. You can access downloadable pdf versions by visiting the Sharp Eye on wildlife photography page
My web site is www.sharpphotography.co.uk though the galleries are not all working. My animal galleries are on Flickr. The latest edits and highest resolutions of my images are always here on Commons.
Many of my pictures are taken outside of the UK and the best ones will be in my galleries of favourites, Featured pictures (616 from 80 countries), Quality images (4,446) and Valued images (3,383). Here is a link to my Featured Pictures promoted since 2022. The quality of Valued Images may not be great, but are provided as reference images - the best Commons has at the moment.
