FlashyThingy's photostream  

Welcome to my photostream, I hope you enjoy what you find here.

My comments and Fav's are genuine and not because I feel obliged to do so. I'm still trying to define my style and preferences and I hope that when I do I can contribute photos that will also take your breath away.

I enjoy portraiture, wedding, wildlife, macro and sports/action photography. I'll try my hand at anything though and my current challenges are B&W, landscapes, still lifes and geometry/architecture. I post here for various reasons so some shots might be great while other may just be snaps but I hope you enjoy what you see here.
