Hello. I'm an amateur photographer, originally from London but living in the Midlands for many years now. I'm passionate about landscape and seeking it out in beautiful light. I've always been drawn to the natural world - trees, water, mountains and am fascinated by how the weather can transform everything. There's so much stunning scenery in the world just waiting to be noticed and captured if we can.

My first contact with photography was 50+ years ago. My Brownie 44A camera wasn't much good at all, but I didn't know that then. I continued taking photos on holidays and trips with a variety of relatively cheap cameras, first slides then prints. It wasn't until the late 90s with the advent of digital technology that everything changed. First with a Canon DSLR then a mirrorless Fuji. My cameras have been busy ever since. I still enjoy that feeling of being the first person up there, waiting for the light and warmth of the morning sun. We are lucky here in the UK to have lots of beautiful coastline and scenery, some great light and frequent dramatic moody weather.

I learned two things very early on. That the most important piece of equipment you need is your eye. And - another cliché - it's all about the light. The rest is a mix of technique which can be learned and luck. In addition to photography, I've also enjoyed travelling, mostly but not exclusively in the UK. Since retirement, I’ve tried to develop my skills by studying the work of other photographers and artists. As with most things in life, this will always be a work in progress.

Thanks for taking the time to view my images. I always appreciate faves and comments. I'm just happy to have this opportunity to showcase my photos of scenes that have sparked a bit of awe in me. Maybe some will do the same for you. Thanks for visiting.
