I got my first DSLR camera for my birthday in January 2011 and just can't put it down.

My favourite lens so far is the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro. I'm always on the look out for insects and spiders.

In September 2011 I joined my local camera club and learnt so much more from talking to other photographers and seeing some excellent images from guest speakers.

Just lately I've become a bit of a twitcher. I'm now saving up to buy a better lens for photographing wildlife.

I'd be grateful if you would leave some feedback if you view an image. I'm always looking to improve my photography, so feel free to suggest ways in which an image can be altered to make it more appealing.
