Profile
Taking / making pictures helps me chill out in this busy world that we live in. I have a great appreciation for nature and my photography tends to lean towards scenery and animals.
My profile image features my favourite animal, the Penguin. You will notice that in this picture the penguin is wearing a wetsuit! He is a penguin at my local zoo and has recently suffered from sunburn and wears a wetsuit to keep the sun of his back!
I started learning about photography in 2007 when I was kindly given a Canon PowerShot G9. This helped me to learn the technical aspects. I went on to buy my first dSLR in 2009, a Canon EOS 1000d. I currently use these lenses: Canon 50mm f1.8, Tamron 17-50mm f2.8, Sigma 70-200mm f2.8. I am slowly learning concepts within Adobe Photoshop, but try to keep my processing to a minimum.
