I recently purchased a DSLR Nikon D60 (Sept 2008)and am learning to use it. I'm very interested in nature, as you can see from my photos. Most of my photography is shot in Hamilton, Ontario Canada where I live and I mostly get to these places by bus as I don't have a car. I would like to get out to more places further afield.

Update Jan 24, 2009: I tend to take more bird photos than anything else. I'm still learning how to use the camera, but improving.

***New Nikon D90 camera*** first shots May 14, 2010, more complicated than my old D60, another learning curve..

Update Sep 04, 2010: Started my own flickr group Array. Check it out.

Update Oct 11, 2011: I love animals and try to capture them doing what they do naturally.

Update: Dec 12, 2011:Hey, I just published a book of some of my favourite shots in 8x10....check it out and get it if you like it :

    ""Where do I begin??

    Lorraine is the real deal.

    Her birds in flight (BIF) photos are out of this world..they all tell a story.

    Lorraine has a heart filled with humor, and spreads it to all who row through her stream.

    Expect the unexpected:....you may see a photo of a Mallard Duck...that looks like a bowling pin.....and the next day, you will see a photo of 10 Ducks...lined UP as bowling pins...!!!!

    Lorraine has a stream packed with powerful, wonderful photos, all that will keep you coming back for more.....one is too many and a thousand is never enough!!"

    "I consider Lorraine to be a first class photographer.
    She has an eye for that special shot.
    all of her images ,the majority of which are birds and wildlife,are of the highest standard and a real joy to view.
    They are allways sharp well composed and the clarity and lighting are spot on.
    I always look forward to see what Lorraine will post next ,as she shoots a great diversity of subjects.
    some which I have never seen.
    I feel proud to have got to know her through Flickr and to be one of her contacts
    she is a great flickr friend, and I wish her all the best for a great photographic future
    keep up the good work my friend.
    Alan"

    "Lorraine was one of my first Flickr contacts in 2008. Since then her photos become more pro - sharp, nicely composed, always taken in beautiful colours. Her photos of birds are one of the best that I ever seen. She is a great wildlife photographer! I never cease to be amazed at the quality of shots in her photostream and I am honoured to have her as a contact. She also very kind and always supportive. Thank you, Lorraine, for your great photos and your support!"

    "I have known Lorraine through Flickr for approx 6 months, I think she was one of my first contacts back in December 2008.........how time flies.

    From across the miles and ocean Lorraine has become a good friend....which I value dearly.

    I love her nature images, she has feelings for her subjects which comes across in her images. Lorraine is a great support and inspiration to all.

    I thank you Lorraine for your friendship and some great images."
