Welcome to the blog of Lynn and Dick Jenkin Photography.
We hope you enjoy following our journeys around the world through the lenses of our cameras.
International Awards
Great excitement for both Lynn and I this week! We are now both International Award winning Photographers.
After entering our first official photo competition, the Maitland International Salon of Photography Competition, we received FOUR awards between us.
The Maitland competition is the largest international photo competition in Australia , this year attracting over 4200 entries from 51 countries around the world.
Watch for our award winning photos being available for sale on the website. The Cape Grassbird, pictured below, is already there under the World Birds category. This shot was taken in Capetown , South Africa.
Argentina Bird Photography trip
A fabulous 3 weeks spent photographing some amazing Argentinian birds.
Christmas day, snow floating down whilst lying on the ground in the mountains photographing White-bellied Seedsnipe -- priceless!
A magical encounter with a Rufous-legged Owl , observing the poetry in motion of a pair of Hooded Grebes , the rarest Grebe in the world, were among the many wonderful encounters.
Breathtaking views of Dot-winged Crake, Red and white Crake and Austral Rail, the elusive and declining Yellow Cardinal, a majestic pair of Magellanic Plover and the list of birds goes on and on.
Endless hours of photo processing ahead !

Going Live!
Today was my (Dick) last hurrah as an amateur photographer. Although based on a recent incident in a public park with well known Australian photographer Ken Done, I have been a professional for a long time. After all I own (and even use on occasion) a tripod! My last Hurrah however is today we are launching this website so putting our work up for sale. Two days ago I (Dick) won the people's choice (and runner up) in the Hunter Local Land Services Shore Bird competition - my last opportunity as an amateur.
Our passions for travel, birds, horses and wildlife have taken us to some magnificent and interesting places. Now we have finally come to grips with going back and looking through what we have accumulated with a more critical eye. Searching for those old gems we know are somewhere on some backup disc, hiding in a drawer or a cupboard. Adding work from new trips. Something we would never have had time for in the past. This is an ongoing experiences, being a photographer, and every day represents some new opportunity to learn and we hope you will enjoy that experience with us, our way of sharing the world through our eyes.
