I’m an enthusiast photographer and I enjoy Macro 1:1 the most, landscape and sports photography play a big part also. I’m the founding member of the Photographers of Plenty Valley a family friendly camera club. I have been a member of the Diamond Valley Photographic Society for 8 years and am now the competition steward. I’m the superintendent judge of the Whittlesea Agricultural Show photography section. This year I received the prestigious Viv Ball Landscape Award from the Victorian Association of Photographic Societies 2009.
I lecture on digital photography in community libraries and judge local photography competitions. So as you can see I’m heavily involved in my hobby
I use a Nikon D300 and I am building up my lenses again as I just changed from Pentax and sold my kit I also have a Canon G10 Power Shot a very nice compact
