Hi, I'm Gary and I seek out light, colour and texture in my photos. Living in the beautiful county of Devon offers opportunities to capture beautiful landscapes and estuary views. I enjoy experimenting with colour saturation and light.

Exeter City Council has used my images to promote tourism in Topsham and the surrounding areas.

I am sometimes commissioned for commercial photography or to digitally record the work of local artists.

I currently use a Canon PowerShot digital camera, as well as my android phone. My Instagram account is here: www.instagram.com/topshaman2018/

I have previously used on this site:

- Olympus FE160,X735 digital camera (to Aug 08)

- Olympus FE330 digital camera (to Sep 09)

I don't have PhotoShop. I aim to do only a small amount of post-processing, but sometimes the temptation to play with light and colour is hard to avoid.

I feel that I am in the right place, at the right time, under the right light, with the right camera. The universe is guiding my photography.

I really appreciate all your comments and suggestions.

(prints and cards available, ask me); all my work is copyright. I am also available for photography projects. Just email me for details at: gary.mackleysmith@yahoo.com.
