Anything and everything is possible.

Recently returned to the UK after more than 38 years living in Norway.

 

I started taking interest in photography in the late summer of 2007 - inspired by all the fantastic pictures I have seen on Flickr. I'm at the bottom of the learning curve and appreciate the good help I have received from other Flickr members.

My main subject interests are nature - scenery, mountains, sea, plants, trees, animals, I love them all!

 

My uploaded pictures are for my own pleasure and memories but I am happy if others enjoy them as well. Flickr is a wonderful place for virtual travel and seeing the world through the eyes of others. I like to use Flickr as a venue to meet up and share pictures with others with similar interests.

 

Currently using:

Canon Eos Rebel T3i (600D)

Canon Eos Rebel XT which was purchased from eBay as refurbished.

Nikon Coolpix P500

iPhone

Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot mobile phone.

Point and shoot Fuji Finepix 6800zoom which I have had since 2001. (rarely in use now)

Older pictures are scans from various cameras I have had.

 

I like to keep Flickr on a personal level. If you find you are no longer one of my contacts please don't be offended - it is probably because you seldom visited and I was using too much time commenting people who hardly ever reciprocated! It is not meant as a personal insult. I make an effort to visit my contacts each day but once in a while I miss one or two unintentionally.

Patricia has an amazing eye for photography. Her work is very compeling and always stimulates the eye and the mind. For someone who picked up the camera so recently , it is a marvelous gift. Her photo stream include exotic nature, landscapes, and seascapes which are a pleasure to behold. The occasional animal makes an appearance, once in a while . Great to see Patricia's work as it unfolds in exotic locations of this world.

Patricia is one of my great friend in flickr! She has always been a great encourager, supporter of my beginning here in flickr and that continues to this day. Many of my plants, animal, birds etc would stay nameless if it wasn't for her help (Thank you!). I am also an admirer of her work (her great photography). Her portfolio is full of colors, composition, creativity ... all that should be in a great profile. I truley appreciate her friendship and hope to continue it for lifetime ahead. Keep up the wonderful work as you are an asset to the flickr community.

I have a problem with Patricia's photo stream. As soon as I mark a shot as a Fav, or invite her to post a shot to some group or other, I see yet another with equal or greater merit. Her work is so beautiful that it seems to me unfair to assign any preferences, since to do so is somehow to marginalise hundreds of other … Read more

I have a problem with Patricia's photo stream. As soon as I mark a shot as a Fav, or invite her to post a shot to some group or other, I see yet another with equal or greater merit. Her work is so beautiful that it seems to me unfair to assign any preferences, since to do so is somehow to marginalise hundreds of other wonderful shots . So, I've given in and hope that she'll be content with this testimonial instead.
