Thank you for visiting my profile page.

I love taking photos but I'm more of a snapper than a photographer. I do occasionally get a bit more creative, mainly where depth of field is an issue and particularly with close-ups.

I tend to flit from subject to subject so you won't find any particular theme in my photostream, just anything that took my fancy at the time of posting. What you will find is a bit of variety and I hope there is something that appeals to you

I've been taking photos for a long time and as I'm retired I have plenty of opportunity to indulge my hobby.

I love looking at everyone else's photos too and I'm amazed at the creativity evident in so many of the photos on Flickr. I lack the talent and the patience to try many of these techniques myself though some of it has rubbed off and a number of the photos I've taken since I joined Flickr have been the result of inspiration gained from other Flickr members.

I appreciate it if anyone comments or faves one of my photos and I always check out his or her photostream. When it comes to comments, I prefer words to rubber stamps.

I don't like deleting comments as they mean that someone has noticed my photo and has taken the trouble to let me know. However, there are times when I feel that something just has to go and I will delete it. What sort of thing would make me do this? Well .....

Comments that are more about the commenter's photos than about mine. So please don't put your own photos in your comments, it makes me feel as though my photo has been trumped.

Any graphics that scream at me - however they do it.

As for those horrid animated twinkly cutesy whatsits. I'm an adult. What more can I say?
