ABOUT ME
I'm a hobbyist outdoor photographer based in Lincoln. I started taking photographs in 2010 trying to capture the best of the local scenery. I bought my first DSLR in 2011 and gradually started learning the ropes.
I try to capture the scenery of England in seasonal weather conditions, so when I get out it can mean early mornings searching for misty valleys, foggy woodland, snow, frost or other seasonal weather. I like to capture the nature of each season through wide and smaller views and sometimes use creative or toning effects in camera or in editing. I use Nikon gear.
