1st of all thanks for visiting my website!

I was born in East Yorkshire, England but currently live in Angus, Scotland. My parents introduced me to wildlife at a young age, with trips to such places as Spurn Point, Bempton Cliffs and the Farne Islands. Fond memories! As well as a keen interest in wildlife, scenery and particularly birdlife, I have also been taking photographs since the age of 10, when I saved up and bought my first SLR camera, an Olympus OM10.

In 2003 I began digiscoping. (Fixing a digital camera to a Spotting Scope.) Distance from your subject is less of an issue and although some good results were obtained, it was clear that the overall image quality is not as good as Digital SLR and flight shots are nigh-on impossible! So in 2007 I finally ventured into Digital SLR and am enjoying using that very much.

I don’t profess to be an amazing photographer but enjoy it and as you can see from my resume webpage, I have even been fortunate enough to have a few photos published. Over the last 15 years, travel and photography has become a huge interest. Discovering the nature and vistas of other countries always offers something new, exciting and unexpected.
