Keen amateur photographer for over forty years now.

Retired mid-2007 and became even keener. These days use mainly Nikon gear. Got first Nikon,( a 2nd hand F), in 1969. Bird photography was improved when got some good Nikon glass after retirement. Have been spurred on to greater efforts by my friend Nikki Burke, (Grasshopper 25), to whom I am most grateful.

Bodies: D700,D300S. Lenses: Zeiss 21/2.8 Distagon, Nikon 24-70/2.8, Nikon 70-200/2.8, Nikon 300/2.8. T.C.x 1.4, Macro Tamron 180/3.5.

Monostat monopod, Gitzo tripod, various bits of Really Right Stuff gear.
