A graduate from Canterbury Christ Church University, I am looking to improve what I am good at; Digital Photography.

I have over 6 years of Photography experience and am enhancing and fine tuning my works to improve what I have already done. I am not shy to revisit a place to get the shot I want and have done on many occasions. I am also willing to go on photo walks or shoots with friends like Kevin Harwin, Peter, Eunice and Ashley H as I find that a day out in the fresh air is a good time to relax, rather than be stuck inside working.

I am very willing to chat to people on line, on Flickr and else where on the internet. Ashley J is a student across in the US who is looking to improve her skills at photography. I also started up the Constructive Comments Group and have many active members within such as Elizabeth who all share different views and thoughts about each others pieces.

I am grateful for people leaving feedback whether it be positive or negative, as I feel these really do improve how I take images. Thank you to those who have done so already. I will also add that I am not a big fan of these awards things, I have added to a few of them, but anyone can give an award. It does not tell me anything that they like about the image.

I also randomly look and select images from Flickr and will give a 5 paragraph detailed comment about the image. They are usually images that have caught my eye for one reason or another and thus I voice my opinion about it. If mentioning something negative, I will also try to suggest ways of getting around this to improve your shots.

Flickr is currently my only actual online album, however, my website stated at the bottom right of every image is increasing. It gets updated now and again, but it has only very limited images. The website I am specifically adding images of night or low-light, one of my favourite subjects, however it is not updated as frequently as Flickr.

My upload target is one a day. I will add a description on every one of my images and try to give something about it. Please feel free to comment on any of my images and ask questions about them. Don't forget to use the "More Properties" link on the right to see the camera settings for those with more expert knowledge.

All my images are un edited, excluding size reduction to 770px across (800 with the added black boarder) and my watermark. My images are all copyrighted to myself, though will be willing to let people use the smaller sizes for unpaid works.

Thank you for reading and Enjoy!
