Hi

My name is Ang. I currently live in Northland, New Zealand. I used to get around quite a bit with my favourite things to shoot being scenes and nature. I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue in March 2010 and am still trying to recover from this. As such, i don't quite get around like i used to, and when i do ... i usually pay for it by being exhausted for a while after. However, photography, like Flickr, is a great hobby and i do my best to practise both as often as i can.

I have always kept my contact numbers limited just so i can get around and visit anyone. For this reason i do not always reciprocate being made a new contact. I do however try visit my one-way contacts each couple of months or so... my fatigue sometimes slows me down with this, if i haven't visited in a while - my apologies - i will get there!

I use a Canon 450D with kit lenses. I also at times enjoy using Tokina 11/16mm, Canon 50m 1.8, and Canon 100mm IS Macro lenses. Anything that is shopped or altered is tagged so, or is noted in the description. otherwise it is all straight off camera.

I am currently running a 'sister' photostream, to concentrate solely on my interest in NZ natives, particularly NZ flora. You can find it at flickr: nznatives [Ang Wickham], or, at:
www.flickr.com/photos/angsnznature

I do appreciate any requests to use my pics and reserve the right to copyright.

"What do you say about a girl called Ang? Well she is the flickr Queen of Bokeh for one thing.... terrific control of depth, giving her the ability to draw you into an image in a way few people achieve. She allows the small details of our world to take center stage in her photography, finding beauty and interest in things many of us would never notice.

But there is more to Ang than just a pretty photostream. She does it all with great charm and humor, as well as being one of the best flickr contacts you could wish to meet. You can rely on Ang to be a regular visitor and commentator on your own photostream ...... no idea how she finds the time and energy....... and always managing to provide intuitive observations and feedback.

Ah yes, Ang is one of the best....."

"I am not sure how I first stumbled across Ang's stream, but I am glad I did. She is such a sound person to know that I am doing something I rarely do; writing a testimonial.

Ang's photos are deep, they show her eye for detail in things that certainly I wouldn't see, a whole other world of fascinating stuff. Her photography of New Zealand greenery - ferns and grasses, light and shadows - make subtle patterns which create unique and perfectly exposed compositions. These are things many of us would never see if not for Ang. Certainly I would clumsily crash through the undergrowth, crushing underfoot the delicate and beautiful subjects of her photographs.

A photostream filled with wondrous things then, not just green stuff, because but she is also an aviation nut. A shed load of humour, a person who takes time to properly look your photos and makes considered comments and one of the most thoughtful people I have had the pleasure to get to know via the internet, if not, alas, in person (12,000 miles being a long way to go for a Flickr meet....)

Hats off, Ang.

Ian"

"Ang and I have been contacts on Flickr for ages now! I always love visiting her photostream because I never know what to expect. She shoots all sorts of different things, but her photos always reflect her eye for light and composition. They always impress me and make me smile! She's also incredibly friendly and I appreciate her comments and support. She is definitely worth following on Flickr :-)"

"Ang is one of my very first contacts.. she is someone who saw me in my humble beginnings when my shots were somewhat lacking. She helped me understand the essence of having a good friend in flickr.. someone who is honest in giving out detailed comments with the good intention to make you better.

Her photos were seen from her exclusive eye to see natural beauty.
Salute!"

"I first came across cgullz in the "52 Weeks of Pix". I'm continually impressed by Ang's natural eye for light, particularly with sunsets and sunrises. It's also really encouraging to see the little seagull icon pop up with so many friendly comments about photos too! :-)"

"I truly love looking at your photographs, some of which are breathtaking, and you are becoming more skillful and inspired by the day. You have a wonderful eye for a fantastic shot, from chestnuts to sunsets, and witty humour which equally brightens my day. You always take time to respond to comments on your photostream, and your generous motivational words inspire me to keep learning. A wonderful Flickr friend."
