Hello from good old London

Post by aminart » Sat Dec 05, 2015 9:26 pm

Hiya,
I am Ayub but you can call me Amin, which is easier to pronounce and its also how many people online know me.
I am a professional Nature and Wildlife photographer and ever since Adam introduced me to LCA I am hooked. Adam has been a friend and a great motivator for me to develop interest and build my own private Tropical house where I now keep various insects, reptiles and other tropical species including Butterflies and Moths
I do Macro photography at professional level and many of my images are licensed worldwide.
Photographing inverts at Macro level is one of my passions and I am lucky to be doing it as a living.
I also run workshops where I cover various fields of photography, from food to landscape, and teach essential skills in order to master it.

Ayub, you are most welcome on this forum. Your pictures are fantastic!! Now that you are here I am hooping I havent scabbed any of your images off the internet and you happen to notice any of them! If you have noticed, there are, in the Scientific section, separate posts for each of the species of Atta and Acromyrmex. I am hopig to populate these areas with pictures and specific info on each of them. This would become a resource for comparison and should eventually be a great tool. If you have any images, which you should mark as copyrighted, it would be amazing to have them distributed among these forums. Anyway, looking forward to interacting with you here. Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for the warm welcome.
Dont worry in case any of my images have been used around taken from the internet, I do post a lot also over the social media sites and many also are published through commercial sites so I dont exactly mind when I see them posted anywhere.
I haven't browsed the scientific section but will do shortly.
Many thanks

Is this some kind of vendetta?
Can't wait to see pictures of your tropical house Ayub!

Andrew remember what I wrote right at the start on my introduction thread? Its all Adam's fault, so I do not carry any guilt :).

Guilt is a many faced mistress. You will have to carry your share of the blame. But forgiveness can be bought in the form of posting. Hopefully I will be filming in Trinidad next summer with Adam. I will avenge myself then!
