I was given my first camera, a Polaroid Instamatic, as a shared 18th birthday present from my friend’s mum. As I was an “engineer “ it was deemed that I would be the guardian of this high tech gadget. Plus I had the ability to take a picture without cutting peoples’ heads off. The camera was big and clumsy and the cartridge cost a pretty penny but it did whet my appetite for photography.

I bought my first proper camera, a Praktica, which got stolen and with the insurance money I purchased a Canon and have stayed with them ever since.

My preference is shooting landscapes, flowers and trees while desperately trying to avoid having people in my pictures.

As the expert shooter I’m asked to take pictures at family events which is a bit of a challenge and somehow the photos seem to end up on someone’s social media page.

Since joining the club I have learnt so much from the presentations, feedback and workshops. There is always someone willing to give you some great advice, whether it’s a way to improve your shots or pointing out a great location.
