Welcome to my humble offerings;WOW!! The time has flown by. I am still very much a novice when it comes to photography, but with a larger Portfolio ; from which you can see all my mistakes and hopefully some of my improvements. Those improvements can be credited to this site; viewing other peoples excellent work offers motivation to emulate and therefore improve. I have learnt a great deal from other members who have been so generous with their experiences and expertise, for which I offer my undiluted thanks.

I have much to learn and would appreciate the input of members on this site.

When I first joined the site I was using a bridge camera, then my beloved Nikon D3200 and could barely turn it on. I have now added a Nikon D800 and now Nikon D610. That's not to say my D3200 or D800 are now out of favour; they definitely have their place and will still make appearances on this site.

Thanks to the members on this site I feel as though my photography has improved a great deal. However, the one thing I have really learnt is that photography is a subject that you can never stop learning about and you shouldn't be in too much of a hurry regardless of enthusiasm.

Photography not only records events, but it is definitely an art form in its own right judging from the images I have had the pleasure of viewing on this site.

Since joining this site I have expanded my photographic experiences, from photographing anything that would stay still long enough for me to capture; although I do tend to stick with the tried and tested, anything that will stay still long enough for me to cpature, I now include portraiture, for which I have been paid RESULT! I am still trying to master the art of longer exposures and have sold a few, another result. I love the unpredictably creativity of water collisions, again, managed to sell a few, now I'm just showing off

The biggest challenge I now have is mastering the art of lighting; sometimes I get it spot on, but I have to confess, very often it is accidental. I would like to be more creative with lighting, but first, I have to master it.
