Paul gets his portrait taken – was anyone hurt?
Posted on 25. Nov, 2008 by Paul Burwell.
Roy Ramsay, the editor-in-chief at Outdoor Photography Canada, contacted me the other day asking for a new head shot for the magazine. It’s been a couple of years since we updated the pictures of the contributing editors, so I guess it is time. I have to tell you though, getting my portrait taken has not my favourite pasttime.

Speaking of workshops
Posted on 23. Nov, 2008 by Paul Burwell.
I vividly remember the very first photography workshop I attended, and it wasn’t a good experience.

Posted on 21. Nov, 2008 by Paul Burwell.
While I spend the vast majority of my time looking for and photographing wildlife, I try not to ignore the rest of the world around me. I will plead guilty to occasionally being so focussed on my wildlife photography that I’ve probably missed something else, equally beautiful and compelling.

Jobu-Design Black Widow
Posted on 20. Nov, 2008 by Paul Burwell.
As a dedicated wildlife photographer, I often use a telephoto lens. My favourite lens for wildlife photography is Canon’s 500mm F4L IS lens. Without questions it is a beautiful lens. But, it’s also quite heavy. Together with my 1Ds Mark II and maybe a teleconverter or two, it can weigh well in excess of 12 pounds.
