National 2010 - Championship Row Photos

I had the pleasure of photographing some of the top birds on Championship Row with Rupert Stephenson at the National 2010 for poultrykeeper and Fancy Fowl Magazine. The editor of Fancy Fowl, Grant Brereton brought the birds up to be photographed and did a great job at getting some of the birds to stand in the correct way before we took our photos. It sounds easy enough but believe me, some were much harder to photograph than others but thanks to the dedication of everyone and the help of some of the owners, we got some cracking pictures to share with you. 

We didn't have time to photograph every bird on Championship Row. It takes time to get the right photo and we do try to take photos of other birds too if people bring them up. I have emailed photos through to most people now but if you had photos of your bird taken and would like a copy then please drop me a line, we don't charge for photos.

 If you didn't have your photos taken then perhaps we can see you at the Federation? Rupert will be there Saturday and Sunday and I will be there on Sunday. See you soon!
