I'm a Northern Irish teenager, just trying to get to grips with photography. I currently use a brilliant Canon EOS 5D Mark II along with a Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Macro lens. I have an OM to EOS adaptor so I can use my manual lenses. My 'backup body' is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 that my uncle very kindly bought me for my birthday three years ago. Since then, I've clocked up 180,000 shutter actuations and I've taken around 300,000 photos during my life. (Which doesn't mean to say I'm a quantity over quality photographer, it just means I get about!)

I also have an Olympus OM20 with a 50mm f/1.8 lens and an 80-200mm f/4.5 lens. I use a 28-70mm Vivatar Image lens and a 28mm f/2.8, which, along with the 50mm, is pretty much glued onto the camera now! (Thanks, Heather!)

I use a mixture of old auto flashes and two Yongnuo YN-460 II flashes for my Strobist style stuff. I'm really getting into off camera flash (using Cactus triggers).

My Imagekind Profile

I love macro photography, so I can usually be found lying on the ground somewhere on the Causeway Coast...

...although now that I'm studying MSci Physics at Queen's University, Belfast, I'm also equally as likely to be found either doing headshots for actors or dodging bottles in the Holylands.
