I have always had a passion for photography, but never really got into it properly.
Since buying my first digital camera in April 07, it has opened my eyes to what can be acheived and to be able to share my work with others.
I prefer to shoot landscape and macro freehand, but have started to develop my skills in using a tripod.
I also prefer shooting very early mornings, preferably before dawn and especially when its frosty, freezing cold and foggy.
The welsh countryside is on my doorstep, so I like to wander over the border for day trips, to loose myself among the mountains and walk the many routes along its coastline.
