Details
Welcome to my site and thank you for taking the time to visit.
I have been interested in photography since the age of 7 and in recent times have started taking photography more seriously.
My first cameras were simple point & clicks (Olympus Trip) and I have now progressed to the latest digital SLR's. I am a Nikon user (sorry all Canon and Sony users!) and most of the images on this site are using the 800 range of Nikon cameras (D800 & D850). I use a wide variety of lenses suited to whichever subject I am photographing from large zooms to wide angle and macro lenses.
It would be nice to use this space to say a big "Thank You" to all that have helped make this possible including John Daniels (www.birdphotographycourses.co.uk), friends and family of which there are too many to be included, also of course special friends who without them it would have been difficult to shoot in such interesting locations.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or ideas.
Paul
