Gary is one of those photographers who's eye for nature just wows me every time I look at a new upload by him. I'm not even a bird lover, but he has inspired me to look at them in a different way. I love how he captures each moment that we rarely see. When everyone captures them in their most common poses, Gary captures them in the frames in between each bird's mundane tasks. He makes what I once thought was boring subject, absolutely fantastic and something to look for. Thanks for sharing your vision with us Gary, you're truly a fantastic photographer.

At the risk of spewing forth ad naseum - I need to say that Gary's work has been an inspiration to me. When I've had a question about equipment or how he took a particular shot he's always been kind enough to answer my questions. Somehow he manages to capture the impossible shots (do the birds pose for him?) every time. If given a chance to spend the day with any Flickr nature photographer, my choice would be Gary Woodburn - no question about it.
Read lessI've just discovered FreeSpirit5 and the images are truly Awesome, I am in awe, I love every shot. I would give my right arm (whoops maybe not) left arm to have the natural light, the birds over here in the UK. Fantastic. My next holiday will be in BC........lol
absolutely one of the best nature photographers i've seen on flickr. the detail captured is amazing, even at low light levels. i bet he sleeps with the birds. in fact, i think he may be a bird himself. how else could he get such close ups and capture so many exquisite photographs with such great detail. reward you… Read more
absolutely one of the best nature photographers i've seen on flickr. the detail captured is amazing, even at low light levels. i bet he sleeps with the birds. in fact, i think he may be a bird himself. how else could he get such close ups and capture so many exquisite photographs with such great detail. reward yourself today and take some time to look through his photostream slowly.
