I'm a keen amateur photographer, an ex-engineer, project manager and now a youth football coach (www.westpro.co.uk), it's great fun and beats working for a living! But I love shooting seascapes and landscapes. I'm also drawn to portraiture, probably because family & friends are asking to shoot them.

I started photography using a Pentax Program A, 35mm film SLR in 1985 but making a living got in the way. I revisited my hobby again in 2007, after my off-spring flew the nest but this time my passion is stronger than ever, especially with the dawn of the digital age.

I am a NIKON man and started with the D80 but switched to full frame D800 in late 2012. I use the following lenses: 14-24mm f/2.8, 24-70mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/2.8 and the nifty-fifty 50mm f/1.8 . The problem with the D800 is that you need good/expensive lenses to match the sensor's resolution.

Thanks for taking the time to view my photo's, your comments are most appreciated.
