Drew Buckley Photography ~ Pembroke, Pembrokeshire

With the days getting warmer and nights getting shorter, it’s time for me to start venturing out again to my local Badger setts to see what’s been going on over winter. This year I’ve added another trail cam (Bushnell HD 119437) to the arsenal to capture the night time activities of these lovely...
With the main phase of Bluebells out in all their glory, (thanks for the updates Kevin!) I headed up north the other evening to capture them at their best. Having heard Dinefwr held a fabulous display of Bluebells, I couldn’t wait to venture up there this Spring to see what it had to offer. I’ve visited the...
UPDATE 28th March 2013 (scroll to bottom) Over the years I’ve found there’s not a greater reward than capturing wildlife on your doorstep without the need to travel miles. So a few months ago I decided to start to create a feeding station for garden birds in an area of local private woodland. Something to do...
Just a quick blog post to notify you that I have launched two new photography workshops for this year, details as follows. First up is a new Red Kite Photography workshops, this location based workshop will take place at Gigrin Farm, one of, if not; the best place to get up close and personal to these magnificent...
On the last trip away this year we headed many miles north to the lovely Scottish Highlands. A place that I’ve grown to love over the years as we’ve always tended to visit during the Autumn months, showing off the flora and fauna to it’s best. Staying in the Cairngorms you get a great sense of the...

About Me

My main interest with photography lies with landscapes and wildlife. I love experiencing the great outdoors and all it has to offer. The natural world and the stunning landscape around us has always been one of my passions; so together with photography, there’s no better thing I’d rather do. Being outside; whether it be in the countryside, on top of a mountain or along the coastline, invigorates the senses, makes you relaxed and gives you an enormous sense of well-being. On the flipside with wildlife; photographing that elusive animal can be frustrating and sometimes can require immense patience and perseverance to get that unique image. When the hard work pays off though, there’s not many things that come close to giving you as much self-satisfaction after capturing that magical shot. I’ve been photographing wildlife and landscapes for a number of years now and over that time I’ve gained a lot of knowledge; the approach, technical side and how to implement it all into making an interesting and compelling image. My aim from the outset is to always try to capture a stunning, well composed and striking image. Always trying something different, I strive for my images to captivate and immerse the viewer.

I often get asked what my style of landscape photography is and it’s something that’s evolved with my work along the way, but also a benchmark I try to stick to with every image I create. I’m a big believer in doing most of the work in camera with the use of subtle filters; more time out with the camera and not much work in the digital darkroom. I always like keeping colours true to life, capturing the scale and raw essence of a scene, truly involving the viewer into wanting to be there rather than, “That’s a nice photo”. I also love including any kind of motion in my images; be it cloud, foliage or water movement, so always tend to slow the shutter down with my landscape images to give them a more natural and wild appearance.

Every month I regularly contribute to and have work published in many photography & wildlife magazines throughout the UK; be it with single image use or writing detailed features, critique on readers’ images and also guides on specific aspects of photography. More of my featured work can be found on the Publications page.

I run photography Workshops on landscape & wildlife techniques in Pembrokeshire and West Wales and in September 2012 I received a Highly Commended Award with a landscape image in this years prestigious British Wildlife Photography Awards. My image, along with others will be printed in the yearly book featuring the competition winners along with my image touring the UK in an exhibition starting in London for the next year.

I have also created a Blog, it features more information about my images, how I captured them and also some other shots that might not make it to my online shop.

Thanks for visting my site and I hope you enjoy my images
