Wild About Kent
The primary aim of the project is to provide a comprehensive library of modern images of British Wildlife and habitats for the use of the Wildlife Trusts and associated Charities without recourse to commercial libraries. The main area of the site, therefore, is the Image Gallery reached through the menu on the left of this page.
The whole thing started off in March 2004 when half a dozen people met up at Wildwood for a day of Photography. That day had been organised through the pages of the ePHOTOzine website and, at the time, none of the photographers had met each other.
Being March, the weather was not at it's most predictable and a fair amount of time was spent nattering while dodging the rain showers. (What, I hear you exclaim, photographers that talk to each other! Yes, we do exist!)
After a bit of a false dawn, where a website was set up only to be hi-jacked by those who wanted to make a commercial venture out of it, the WildaboutKent site was started in October 2004 with one aim in mind.
The idea was that the Photographers, who wanted to 'put something back' into the Nature Reserves run by various Trusts and Charities that those photographers had had access to and used, mostly free of charge, would offer their images to those running the sites, completely free of charge.

WildaboutEnglandIs the place to find out about Wildlife and Nature Photography. Through our structured courses, we will take you through to a stage where you could easily present your own exhibition of Wildlife Photographs. Through the structured but flexible nature of our in-depth modules, no matter where your real interest in the wildlife of the UK, our tutors will personally help you to reach your highest potential. The tutors themselves are all highly experienced in their own particular field and accomplished wildlife photographers in their own right.
Wildlife and Nature Workshops Our tutors also run practical day and weekend workshops to back up the lessons available through the site. These workshops are separate from the e-courses and are available to non-students also. With small student to tutor ratios, you can be sure that all your queries will be answered.
