Poyntonshoot Mike's photostream  

I first became interested in photography when I bought a bridge camera in 2005 and my first dSLR followed 18 months later. My passion for photography has continued to grow over the last 5 years and I bought a Canon EOS 1D MK III in early 2010. My main interests are wildlife and landscapes but I enjoy photographing all kinds of subjects.

Flickr has really helped me to improve and one of the things I really like about the site is its interactivity. I give my contacts priority and will always comment on their recent photos when I upload my own. With this in mind I like to keep an active group of contacts who will comment on my own photos from time to time. Therefore I frequently prune my contact list to keep it up to date. I'm always looking to learn so I welcome any constructive criticism.

You may be interested in visiting my Shared Earth Photography website (www.sharedearthphotos.co.uk) if you have the time. Please contact me if you are interested in using any of my photographs either on Flickr or Shared Earth Photography and I will be happy to discuss the matter.

Thanks for visiting!
