My name is Irfan Ahmed and I am an amateur photographer. I particularly like to take photos of wildlife be it at the zoo or even in my backgarden.

After speaking to an amazing wildlife photographer I have realised that wildlife photography is about capturing something special and touching. Therefore patience is a vital asset for such captures. As a result I have started to only upload those shots which I think are special moments in time.

I am a new DSLR owner and have upgraded from a Panasonic Lumix DMC - FZ38 and still have a lot to learn. I hope that I can capture some touching shots and share them here on flickr.

It would be my dream to go somewhere in the wild to go capture animals in their natural habitat.
