I'm a keen photographer who left the Defence and Aerospace industry after 30 years in a variety of Engineering and Management roles. Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, I spend much of my time taking photographs. My interest in photography goes back over 40 years and I cut my teeth on film, black & white and colour printing, and transparency development. I have found that digital technology has liberated my photography world. My main photographic interests lie in Landscapes, Travel and Wildlife. I'm also partial to Monochrome images. My photography gets me out and about and I can often be found with a camera and a "lens of the day" in the Pentland Hills south of Edinburgh. When asked what my best piece of photographic equipment is, I reply "My hiking boots!".
