I have had a camera most of my adult life and always taken photos on our holidays in the Lakes and elsewhere, however, I only really started to take a keen interest in photography about 10 years ago when I wanted some acceptable landscape photographs for my company calendar.
I bought my first Pentax DSLR and I soon learned that a good camera did not take a good photo and I had to learn some skills fast.
Over the ensuing years I have met and worked with a number of excellent and well-known landscape photographers as I learned the skills necessary to get photographs I could be proud of, and that others wanted to see and have.
A couple of years ago I switched to the Olympus EM5ii and have not used my Pentax since. I also now use the Olympus EM1X and have a good number of the main Olympus Pro lenses including the macro 60mm.
I would describe myself as a “professional amateur”, I want to do it to the best of my ability and constantly push myself to be creative and learn more. I use Nisi filters exclusively because I believe the nano-coatings make them the best, particularly when there is constant sea spray or rain, they are just so easy to clean without scratching!
I have been privileged to share some of what I have learned to help and encourage other photographers and am happy and keen to continue this.
