Welcome to my flickr profile

I'm 32yrs old and come from Lincoln - not the ideal place for photos but i muddle though!

Kind of got into the whole photography thing by accident - got a new camera for Christmas (Nikon Coolpix) and whilst trying it out i became amazed by what i could do with it....now i'm totally hooked!

I now use a Nikon D50 - my fave subjects are flowers/insects - macro type stuff but i want to venture out of my comfort zone of nature reserves a little more and experiment with new things.

LOVE flickr, made lots of friends/contacts with the same addiction!

pix can be purchase through www.photoboxgallery.com/clairehartleyphotos

"One of the best Flickr photographers there is and one of my best contacts :)

Her photos really are stunning and she has a style that is unique to her and instantly recognizable! Macros and close up photography is were she excels i think, very creative and has a fine eye for subtle details.

Keep up the great work, you rock!"

"Claire, you cause me problems on a regular basis, as I have to try and find new ways of saying "brilliant", "beautiful", "gorgeous", about your photos! You have a superb eye and your photos are always such a joy and delight. Thank you, Claire, for the pleasure and inspiration you give me.
