Chris Bailey
Drag to set position!
Formaly from the UK and Australia.I now reside in South Dakota USA.
I started taking photographs at an early age.Then lost interest.( Didn`t we all...? )
As digital cameras became more popular.I took up photography again and started posting photographs to the web in 2003 and then i found Flickr and became totaly addicted...! However,i did take a little break this past summer of 2006 to ween off my addiction LOL.
I joined Flickr on the 23rd of October 2004,when it was in its infancy and have watched it grow to massive proportions and become the best photosharing site.I have yet discovered.
I have made some great and dear friends here and have even met some of you.
I believe my photography has got much better since i have became a member of Flickr and it is all due to the inspiring photos and comments from YOU I have learned so much from you all.
I only shoot digital anymore and my equipment consists of
CANON 20D,30D,40D DSLR`s
CANON EF 500MM F4L IS USM LENS
CANON EF 100-400MM F4.5-5.6L IS USM LENS
CANON EF 100MM F2.8 MACRO USM LENS
CANON EF 1.4X EXTENDER
GITZO GT3530LS TRIPOD with VERSION II WIMBERLEY HEAD
South Dakota is located in the heartland of the USA and certainly has its own unique beauty.
Mount Rushmore
From extremely harsh winters.
To gorgeous sunsets
Unigue prairie landscape
Abundant wildlife
And last but not least.Powerful summer storms
No wonder the locals call South Dakota,the land of "infinate variety"
Thankyou all again for taking the time to look at my photostream from my slice of paradise.

Read lessChris is quite likely the best photographer in South Dakota. I grew up there, and although there are a lot of things about the culture of SD that I *don't* miss, his photos make me miss the land every day.

I think they call it the "heartland" because Chris is in it. The man has heart, soul, and an eye that most of us would kill for. Of course, his palette is the great wide open, and even the lesser of us could do good with capturing it. But he's a part of it, and being so gives us a perspective that is truly unique and b… Read more
