Welcome to my profile page here on Flickr!
I have enjoyed taking pictures since I was knee high to a grasshopper, and was given my first camera at the age of 6. The albums full of blurry shots of what are believed to be animals and flowers are still sitting on my bookshelves gathering dust. It was always my ambition to be a photographer as I grew up and I used to terrorise family and friends with my camera at any opportunity, until they got fed up and I had to resort to photographing my guinnea pig!
I was lucky enough to get some valuable work experience with an award winning photographic studio in my teens, I learned a lot from that and was looking to develop and train within that environment until the lure of 'a proper job' called me away and the camera got relegated to the sidelines once more.
Since then, my shots have been a little more honed and with less Guinea pigs and my results slightly more consistent.
I am the proud owner of a Nikon D500, and a variety of lenses, a Nikon 16-85mm f4.5+ which i use as my day to day lens, a nikon 50mm f1.8 prime, a sigma 70-300mm dg macro and a sigma 50mm macro. Filters for a Cokin P system, spare battery, remote cord, sd card, spirit level, various microfibre cleaning cloths, giotto pro tripod, compass (just in case), first aid kit, waterproofs, thermals, kendal mintcake and a slightly leaky thermos flask which is all lugged about in a loweprowe mini trekker, I am soon going to have to get a bigger bag, a bigger car and a bigger back!
I am enjoying getting out there in the fresh air, whilst taking Landscape pics, which are my first love, along with macro shots, portraits, still life, flowers, animals and in fact... anything that involves clicking the shutter button.
Life is good.

Fen is a good friend and Photo companion. She got me into flickr and gave me an outlet for my photographs. She encourages me to take more and laughs at and with me: she gets up at un-godly hours and is patient whilst I muck about with an antique called film. She gave me something to do rather than just work and worry, which I was doing a lot I, for my part, am to blame for Fen splashing out on an SLR and new lens. ( I kept nagging). Fen has an eye for a shot and a natural shutter finger. Every shot she takes improves on the last. Her enthusiasm is catching. She is a Good friend and photo companion.(sic) Update 2011. Fen and I have been shooting together now for a number of years and in that time her work has improved with every shot. She has been published, has sold some of her work and has even received commissions. She is a talented and prolific photographer and none of it is my fault!

Although we haven't got round to meeting yet (Despite living not too far from eachother) it's always nice to have a quick text chat with Fen and I consider her to be a valuable friend. She's always interested if I text her from the middle of nowhere to tell her what I'm photographing! Fen's one of those people with an infectious enthusiasm for photography and is always there to give positive feedback on your shots and encourage you to take pictures as well as producing some stunning shots on her photostream. I value Fen's opinion on my shots and I certainly consider it a good photograph if there's a comment from her on it. :)
