I live in Dorset in a small village just 6 miles from the sea. Retired from the Police I am enjoying the freedom of doing just what I want to do now- which includes photography.
I get out and about with my German Shepherd and always have my small Fuji A600 Finepix camera with me, I love it- nothing bulky to cart about and can just shoot at a moments notice- which is how I like it. I also have a Fuji S2000HD- which I am still getting to grips with – just a larger more powerful point and shoot – just needs me to find what makes it tick lol!
Photography for me is all about having fun, to enjoy a laugh together is one of the most important things in this life.
Thankyou for looking- – hope you like what you see -I am learning all the time so am open to comments and constructive criticism, Please feel free to visit my other site:
Secondnature -which is always being added to and updated.
– Please come again!!!
Pauline!
