Description
A bit of a Historical one here. I realised that most of my pictures are going to be from Australia. But I wanted to show a little bit of where I have come from.So this is when I was back home in England (a few years back). A weekend trip to photograph puffins on the Farne Islands. One of my favourite birds, lots of character and easier to photograph than the Australian birds!

Thanks but I am determined to do better, it was the first outing when I bought the D70 so I would love to go back now I know my camera better! I guess we are all our own biggest critic.
Originally from the UK, near to Birmingham in the midlands. However I have made Canberra my home for the time being.

It is a fantastic place, went there one year with a film SLR and the went back a year later with digital. I must say getting puffins in flight is much easier with digital!
I love photographing wildlife and I am currently trying to get into architecture to improve my range. Not much of a people/studio/still life type photographer. How about you? Your gallery seems to suggest you like photographing most subjects.

I will give anything a go. I dont think I have any sort of style or fav type of photography. I only really getting back into it after a long time away. its thanks to that I took it up again.
I enjoy landscapes, and motor sport I guess the most, but I tend to look for any chance to get a good photo. thing is maybe I should focus on one type so as to better my skills?
I love nature photos. check out my friend

Thanks for the links, they have some fantastic shots. I need to get back to wildlife shots. I used to live close to a wildlife park in England so I would be out there most weekends. There were excellent angles to get on some of the animals with no fences and natural backgrounds. I miss it
I have working knowledge of photoshop. I am better than most people I know but I still only really know he basics- enough to correct a picture as long as there isn't too much wrong with it

Your most welocme for the links, Its nice to be able to help frinds here on DA, as its like one big family.
thats sounds so cool. I bet you got some fantastic shots there.
