About me
I am a semi-professional photographer based in the north of England. My main interests are wildlife and landscape photography.
I describe myself as a "semi-professional photographer" because:
♦ I aim to produce photographs of a professional standard;
♦ I earn money from photography, but it's not my main source of income.
You can view a selection of my published images here.
Equipment
I first started taking pictures when I was a kid. At the age of sixteen, I bought my first proper camera: a second-hand Russian Zenit 3M. I also learnt how to develop and print my photos in a friend's darkroom.
Three decades on, I switched to digital - and I haven't looked back since!
I have used various different cameras over the years. These days I mostly use an Olympus E-3, but I occasionally use my old E-500 for monochrome work.
Copyright
Unless described as otherwise, all the images in my Flickr photostream are © Roger Butterfield (all rights reserved).
Please do not use my pictures in publications, presentations, websites or blogs without first obtaining permission. If you do wish to use a picture, please contact me and I will respond as quickly as I can.
Please note that I do not normally permit commercial enterprises to use my images free-of-charge.
Family Photos
I have a large collection of family photographs, both old and new. For privacy, viewing is restricted to people on my "family contacts" list. If you would like to view the pictures, please contact me.

"I discovered Roger's photographs here on Flickr not long after I joined early in 2005. Since then it's been an absolute pleasure to see the constant stream of high quality images - not least of which is one of my favourite sheep shots taken near Derwent Reservoir.
One of Flickr's best for sure. Thank you for continuing to share your images with us."3rd September, 2007

Son of Groucho says:
"Roger's pictures of plants, animals, and the natural world in general amply demonstrate that for him ecology is not just a profession, but a passion. The quality of his images is consistently high, giving the rest of us something to aspire to, but rarely match.
He's also quite an amusing bugger----sorry, I mean blogger!"22nd January, 2006

Trois Têtes (TT) says:
"Roger's photography skills make me very jealous. This is true, if a little shameful."
