I love to travel. This has led to several of my other hobbies including photography. Although I have always enjoyed taking photos it is only since 2008 that I started to take it a bit more seriously (i.e. buying a DSLR and taking it off the auto setting!).

Even though I love to take pictures I'm also a father of young twins (born in Nov 2009) so I dont get much chance to indulge my hobby! However in August 2011 I was fortunate enough to join ILFORD Imaging so I now combine my passion for photography with work! Happy days. (And for those of you who don't print the excellent images I see on here, shame on you! Go out and buy a box of ILFORD paper because the quality of the prints you can get out of your home inkjet printer is seriously amazing ;).

In September 2010 I won a national UK travel photo competition run by PhotoBox. Check out my winning pic as well as the details of the competition.

I'm always curious as to what camera and lenses people shoot with. I basically travel or shoot with only one camera and one lens (primarily because I can't afford or justify the additional lenses I want!). If you happen to share my curiosity I've uploaded pics taken with the following...

Digital compact cameras
Canon A80 with underwater housing (Used between 2004 and 2008)
Panasonic TZ3 (From 2008 - now a back up to my SLR and never used!)

DSLR
Canon 450D (Sept 2008 to December 2010 - SOLD)
Canon 60D (From December 2010 ....)

Lenses
Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM (From Sept 2008 but now never used)
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0 L IS USM (From July 2010)
