Hi there,
My name is Mike and I live in Galway on the west coast of Ireland.
I am a Canon man through and through with the 5D as the main camera. I recently got a 40D as my 2nd camera and have my trusty 20D as the backup. The plan is to get another 5D or spend a little more cash and go for the new 5D MkII.
I have no formal photography qualifications and am completely self taught. Did the usual, bought books, magazines and asked people how they achieved a shot, style etc and then tried it for myself. That would probably explain why my images are so wide and diverse whilst I "find" my style. Until I do find it, thank you everyone for the help, guidance and input provided. :-))

Sally Ghally says:
"The amazing thing about Mike's photography is that he doesn't only take beautiful, well-composed shots, he captures emotions. And that's why his pictures are never redundant or boring, that's because every portrait or landscape conveys a lot of feelings that makes them so alive and meaningful.
This also shows in his interactions with fellow photographers. So helpful, kind and patient, he will share his secrets just to help beginners such as myself. He is also an amazing photo-editor.
Can't wait till you shoot my wedding, Mike ;)))"19th November, 2008
