Hi everyone. I first picked up a 'proper' camera in March 2007 and haven't put it down since. Totally hooked on flickr and photography, I've even learned a little Photoshop along the way :-). These are some of my favourites, I hope you like them :-)

Joanna Voulgarakis says:
"After a 6 month break from flickr I'm back and so happy to see that Martyn has continued uploading his wonderful photos. Martyn is one of my oldest flickr contacts and visiting his photostream was and will always be a delight for me. Not only are his photos stunning but the way he edits them turns them into true works of art. Congratulations Martyn! You're my inspiration!"

Big City Dick says:
"Martyn is one of my favorite Flickr artists and for good reason. His work is prolific, of consistently high quality, having a depth and feel that draws you right into the scene. His images do more than give you a view of the world he has seen, it trasports you there. If you haven't become addicted to viewing Martyn's photostream it can only be because it hasn't been published it in brail yet."

"Martyn:
Hi, my dear friend! This testimonial is for expressing the admiration that I feel by your photographic work. More or less for a year I have been knowing your work, and i really love it. The elements in your compositions inspire me. Your amazing paths, cute pets as Jorja, amazing and beautiful animals, gorgeous landscapes, incredible clouds (my favorite hehe), nostalgical textures and magical halos are superb!!!!
It cheers to me that you emphasize the beauty of the nature =)
Take care and see you around, my dear friend!!

"Martyn, you are an inspiration. If I am ever able to make something simple like a field or pathway look half as sublime as you do then I'll die happy. If I wasn't currently jobless I'd seriously consider buying your work although I only have a small house and choosing which ones would be VERY tricky! Keep up the amazing work and I look forward to your next photo, as always - Claire"

Sir Cam says:
"Martyn is one of my earliest contacts on Flickr and I've observed his creative offerings for a while now. Take a look at his collection but please be seated when you do so... you may fall over in excitement:-) He's that good! His range of subjects is varied, but what is always striking is his impressive technique, which I have seen him develop to perfection. It's a pleasure coming across this most talented and inspiring photographer!"

"I've neglected Flickr for the past few months, but today I've looked through my contacts work again - i would be here all night commenting on Martyns work - its pretty astounding stuff and shows great talent behind the camera and in front of the computer. Just goes to show what can be done with a little experience and dedication to his art. Nice work Martyn - hopefully I can catch up!"

Steel Steve says:
"Martyn is a fine photographer, and very skilled in post production, a skill he uses to convey the "essence" of an image in a unique way.
His photographs convey far more than a digital record of a scene, but carry the mood and feel that can be missing in so many pictures.
Added to that he is a great flickr friend who takes the time to view and comment on the photos of others.
I am proud to have him as a contact and friend."20th January, 2008

Sandra Bögels Fotografie says:

photogenesis ... says:
"In just a few short months since bumping into Martyn on Flickr I have become a great fan of his work. Martyn has tremendous vision and relentlessly captures high quality shot after high quality shot. He clearly has a keen appreciation of the natural World around him and a great understanding of composition, movement, colour and light, the keys ingredients to good photography, which enables him to share what he sees with us. Martyn is also a great Flickr contact, frequently dropping by with kind words of encouragement and invites to groups. Thanks Martyn, keep up the great work!."

Funky Slug says:
"Has to be said that Martyn has an absolutely sublime photostream, and his ability to capture some stunning shots of the natural world around us is secod to none, particularly his wildlife photography. Also his post processing really adds that extra bit of drama to some alrady great shots.
Keep up the good work mate."13th January, 2008

stev1eb says:
"I have known Martyn for a good 10 Years Now. Martyn, as a lot of us, was probably just a happy holiday snapper. Then he got the Photography bug.
Martyn has this knack of always managing do add something different to his shots, they just seem to have that something extra. He is not adverse to attempting something new or a project that he has seen in a photographic Magazine. He really gets on well with the software side of things, in fact probably too easily, but by the same account is quite happy to share his knowledge and skills. So Martyn! thanks for all the time and effort you have given me in the last 6 months to try and improve my photography, it really is appreciated. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your future shots."10th December, 2007
