William Mercer
Drag to set position!
Wildlife and nature, its what interests me and what drives me. I started photographing animals in 2010 as reference photos to paint from but my painting soon took a back seat to photography. So much so that the last time I picked up a brush was in 2011. My Nikon is my brush now and the natural world is my canvas.
The lenses I have are:
AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 G
AF-S Nikkor 55-3000mm 1:4.5-5.6 G ED
Sigma DG 50-500mm 1:4.5-6.3 APO HSM (Out of Commission at the moment)
Tamron SP AF 90mm F/2.8 Di 1:1 Macro
AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR
Sigma 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM Lens for Nikon (Black)

William is a brilliant nature/wildlife photographer. I've been following his work for quite a long time. The journey right from the time when he shot with an entry level camera to an upgraded model has been a visual treat. He brings his subjects to life with amusing titles and always has an eye for composing the shots while capturing the details. William has also been a constant support and it is always nice to read from him. I wish him a thrilling and fruitful journey into the world of photography and I always look forward to see the moments captured by him from the other side of the world. It's a pleasure having you as a flickr friend William. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work. Regards, Nishant

William's collection of captive and wild animals is a testament to his love of nature and respect for the subjects he aims his viewfinder at. His images also reflect his sense of humor, as many of the animal images will immediately make you smile and sometimes laugh out loud. He has a knack for capturing the "decisive moment" in the animal kingdom.
Read lessI love his pictures. If I was to send a spacecraft out to the stars telling about earth I would send William's photography. He has a great eye. Ansel Adams had nothing on him. I love his pictures.
