Thanks for taking the time to have a look. When I was younger :-) I had an interest in photography. In my early twenties, I had a Pentax ProgramA 35mm which I still have. Then for one reason and another, I lost interest. Around 2004, I bought a Fujifilm Finepix S5000 out of curiosity. I found this to be a super little camera and started taking more digital photos. I live in a beautiful part of Scotland, not far from the "big city" of Glasgow and have lots of photo opportunities, especially with my dog. I recently took the plunge and purchased (as part of my Christmas present!) a Fuji S5 Pro digital SLR and hopefully, once I have figured out how to use it, I can start to produce some images of the quality that I see posted by so many of you on FlickR. So thanks everyone for the incentive and the inspiration. I would appreciate any feedback, tips etc. that you care to throw at me.

 

And finally, please don't use any of my images without asking my permission.
