About Macky

My interest in the field of photography began in childhood, starting with film, then a ‘splatter’ of videography and finally the migration to DSLR photography.

I hope you enjoy viewing my interpretation of the Natural World through my lens.

    fantastic capture, wonderful clarity and dof. Love the catch light in the eye, the flower and the natural looking background.
    You have really got this avian photography down to a fine art Macky, wish I had taken this.

  • Thanks so much Robert, I’m sad to see you leave us but I must thank you for inspiring me to try my hand at avian photography, it’s mighty challenging, requiring hours of patience but very, very rewarding indeed, thanks again and everything of the very best to you sir!!
