Digital Photographer Magazine Spotlights Wildlife Photographer David Gibbon
In the world of photography, there are those who specialize in capturing the beauty of the natural world, and David Gibbon is one such individual. Gibbon, a photography journalist and freelance writer for 11 years, as well as a Getty Images-registered photographer, has made a name for himself in the realm of wildlife photography.
Based in the UK, Gibbon uses the Canon EOS R3 as his primary camera, praising its image quality, autofocus, and tracking. He began his career as a wildlife photographer in 2009, and his passion for the natural world was ignited while watching people photograph wildlife at a local RSPB reserve.
Gibbon's preferred lens for wildlife photography is the Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM, known for its pin-sharp image quality. For wider-angle shots or capturing the night sky, he opts for the Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN Art lens. Another underrated favourite of Gibbon's is the Sigma 150-600mm F/5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports lens, which he uses during his Iceland trips.
David Gibbon's success in wildlife photography has led him to run tours since 2018. He has taken groups to photograph Arctic fox in Iceland, snow leopards and Pallas cats in Mongolia, and is planning a trip with award-winning photographer Kevin Morgans to photograph puffins and Arctic birds on Grimsey Island in Iceland.
Running wildlife photography tours requires a multitude of skills, including good photography, planning and organization, problem-solving, business management, and continuous idea development for new tours. Gibbon faces challenges such as obtaining relevant insurance, working out logistics, and catering to clients' needs. However, his tours have been successful, selling out year after year.
Peter Fenech, Editor for Digital Photographer magazine, is another expert in the field. Fenech specializes in camera tutorials and creative projects to help users maximize their camera equipment. With a background in retail for camera specialists like Jessops, Fenech has spent 11 years as a photography journalist and freelance writer.
Digital Photographer magazine, under Fenech's leadership, provides tutorials and creative projects to help users get the most out of their camera, lens, tripod, filters, gimbal, lighting, and other imaging equipment. Users can browse the best cameras for wildlife photography and the best lenses for bird photography and wildlife on the magazine's website.
One of the magazine's staff writers, Kim Bunermann, has also been recognised for her work. In 2020, Bunermann was highly commended in the Nature Photographer of the Year awards for her Arctic fox images.
Gibbon's work has also been recognised, with him being highly commended in the Nature Photographer of the Year awards for his Arctic fox images.
