Well....Here goes.
Originally from Chesterfield the home of the famous Crooked Spire but now residing in the Bournemouth area of the UK.
Took up photography just over 3 years ago so still on a learning curve.
Photos of birds are my first love,however will shoot pictures of anything that is different or unusual.
The kit I have is old & basic,limited to a Canon EOS 300DEOS 600D and 3 lenses....watch this space when I win the lottery.
On a side note it's easy to get disheartened as a beginner/amateur especially when you see some of the wonderful pics others have posted
but don't be phased and if you take a photo 'you' like then share it.
That Landscape/Portrait etc you took may not be the best ever but the difference is it's your photo and with guidance from some of the team on here
your next one will be better.

So bye for now and hope to see some great shots from you all.
